As several noted above, Lake County has a rather strict permitting process for tree cutting. In addition, The Villages (no matter which county) usually requires Architectural Review Committee (ARC) approval for most tree cutting. Homeowners are responsible to get all the approvals. You pay the 'big bucks' to some tree or landscape service to handle all that for you so I'd ask to see copies of the permits before letting them cut. Some have been known to (gasp) lie.
