In my tract, the fact that the last lot was sold makes no difference.   All 
that happened is that certain rules changed automatically, and the voting 
structure changed (before the last lot is sold, the developer gets multiple 
votes per lot).

Doesn't mean that the rules aren't still there, nor that the restrictions 
don't exist.

But did they revoke the existing rules?  That would generally require 
recording something with the county.

You need to talk to a lawyer in your area. A good friend of mine lived in 
an area where the HOA had gone away some years before, but discovered to 
his dismay that the recorded rules still existed, and so then, any 
homeowner in the tract could attempt to enforce the rules by themeselves. 
Naturally, one did.  Many tens of kilobucks later, it was all resolved.


Certainly, you don't want to take the word of the seller or anybody with an 
interest in the sale going forward (i.e. the real estate folks on either side).
