The declaration shall be filed with the clerk of the county where the property is located.
An illegal discriminatory restrictive covenant is not enforceable in this state, and all discriminatory restrictive covenants contained in any real estate conveyance or instrument recorded in this state are unlawful, are unenforceable, and are declared null and void. Any discriminatory restrictive covenant contained in a previously recorded real estate conveyance or instrument is extinguished and severed from the recorded real estate conveyance or instrument and the remainder of the title transaction remains enforceable and effective.
