As a result of a new disclosure requirement by the Iowa
Real Estate Commission, Black Hawk County Abstract &
Title will be providing this information to Waterloo-Cedar
Falls Board of Realtors members and others, to enable
them to more easily determine and provide restrictive
covenants that may affect a property.

subdivision/addition that you are interested in and
which can be accomplished in variety of manners. You
