The recorded rescission expressly withdraws the March 26, 2024 and August 12, 2025 covenant amendments. It states that those amendments are:
“null, void, and of no force and effect.”
What this means: The restrictions added by these two amendments have been withdrawn. The rescission does not dissolve the Association, eliminate HOA assessments, or withdraw the original Declaration, Bylaws, or other amendments.
Charleston Place is a residential community in Jefferson City, Cole County, Missouri. The 1994 Declaration established common property standards, the Charleston Place Property Owners Association, owner rights and responsibilities, architectural review, assessments, common-area responsibilities, and amendment procedures.
The October 2026 recorded rescission withdraws both the 2024 and 2025 covenant amendments. They remain available in the repository as historical records, alongside the instrument that rescinded them.
The 2024 amendment was recorded June 13, 2024, at Book 760, Page 46. The 2025 amendment was recorded August 15, 2025, at Book 772, Page 102. Both are specifically identified in the rescission.
Homeowners should read the original Declaration, Bylaws, other applicable amendments, and the recorded rescission together. Existing assessment obligations and applicable architectural-review requirements are not eliminated by the withdrawal of these two amendments.

| Topic | 1994 Declaration | 2025 Amendment (Rescinded) | Key Change |

New regulation The former amendment added an express chicken rule. |
| Garages and Doors | Attached two-car side-entry garage requirement; no stated door-height cap. | Addresses two- and three-car side-entry garages and adds a garage-door height limit unless approved. |

The 2024 and 2025 amendments have been rescinded. Future proposals still deserve careful review because changes to recorded covenants can affect property use, improvements, approval requirements, and compliance costs.
Homeowners should review any proposed or recorded amendment, identify the authority claimed for adopting it, and compare the amendment process with the original Declaration and applicable law.
