Eagle County Good Deeds

The Good Deeds program commenced in 2021 with great interest from the public. Buyers purchasing an open market home can add one of two deed restrictions in exchange for a cash purchase at closing from the Eagle County Housing and Development Authority. 

Today, Good Deeds can be found on homes located throughout Eagle County. The goal is to increase the local housing inventory, provide a spectrum of housing choices, and preserve homes for locals into the future.

The Good Deeds program has one of two deed restrictions attached to the home. The deed restriction runs with the property and is binding upon every future owner. The deed restriction is not interchangeable once it's been recorded. 

Resident Occupied Deed Restriction has limits on owning other real estate, must be a primary residence, must be occupied by a household who works for a business located in Eagle County, requires Annual Recertification, requires the buyer complete an application and be approved prior to purchase. 

Price Capped Deed Restriction has limits on owning other real estate, must be a primary residence, must be occupied by a household who works for a business located in Eagle County, requires Annual Recertification, requires the buyer complete an application and be approved prior to purchase, has an appreciation cap and policy for capital improvements, and must be resold using The Valley Home store's resale lottery process.
