So it is a state law. However, that doesn't mean such a landscaping plan will be approved by The Villages. If it is not approved, you'd have to sue The Villages or in some way get them to change any ordinances that are in place so they would comply with the state law.
There was another thread talking about this issue, the xeriscaping is somewhere in the middle of the thread: Purpose of street easement |
What is the point of worrying about irrigation water consumption when the water we use for irrigation is recycled water from storm water runoff?
