Jefferson Station Protective Covenants
The Jefferson Station subdivision was developed in six
parts, Units 1-6, over a period of about eight years. Though
the six units represent a single subdivision, each unit has a
separately recorded Plat Map and its own set of Protective Covenants
recorded with the County. Unfortunately, these Protective
Covenants vary from unit to unit.
As a result the covenants for each unit are enforceable
only within the unit to which they apply. Shown below is a
representative land plat layout of Units 1 though 6.

The following pages provide information about each Unit’s
Protective Covenants, and a map of the subdivision divided by unit.
They are included in this directory to make sure all property owners
are aware of their responsibilities to alert the subdivision of
proposed changes to their property, and the restrictions placed upon
property use and development. Fortunately, since the
restrictions are minimal, there should be little if any hardship
involved in compliance.
Because the covenants governing Unit 3 and Unit 4 are
recorded as a single document at the County, this section has a
single set of Protective Covenants for them. The two units are
shown as a single combined unit on the map.
The statements of Protective Covenants provided in this
section, though faithful to the official documents, are neither the
official documents nor copies of them. If these are desired,
it is possible to obtain them at the Records Room in the Gwinnett
County Justice and Administrative Center in Lawrenceville.
