Jackson to restate deed restrictions for two workforce ownership condos

On March 16, the Jackson Town Council is set to approve amended-and-restated workforce ownership deed restrictions for two units (105 Mercill Ave. Unit 209 and 1257 W. Highway 22 Unit 403) on the consent calendar, updating the recorded documents to match current Housing Dept. rul

The Jackson Town Council’s March 16 consent calendar includes two items to amend and restate workforce ownership deed restrictions: one for 105 Mercill Ave. Unit 209 and another for 1257 W. Highway 22 Unit 403. Both actions are administrative updates to the recorded restrictions attached to deed-restricted ownership units. Regular Town Council Meeting agenda (March 16, 2026).

Town/county housing staff previously told elected officials that an “amended and restated” deed restriction is typically recorded when a restricted unit is sold (or otherwise needs a new recorded instrument) so the property’s restriction language aligns with updated Housing Department Rules and Regulations and the current restriction templates. In early 2026, staff brought forward updated “amended and restated” restriction templates that add recital language acknowledging and replacing the original recorded restriction, while otherwise tracking the updated templates approved in late 2025. Amended and Restated Affordable and Workforce Housing Restriction Templates (Feb. 2, 2026).

In that Feb. 2 agenda documentation, staff said the template change is not meant to retroactively rewrite already-recorded restrictions across the program; rather, it provides a standardized updated document to use case-by-case when a unit needs a restatement. The Housing Department also noted templates are intended to support consistent administration and enforceability of deed-restricted housing requirements over time.
