Default Planting things in ones yard in TV? (As in ME doing the planting)

Up here in Ohio, I would just hop in my car and drive to the nursery, pick out plants, bushes, trees etc. and bring them home, dig a hole and drop them in.

When I ask questions about planting things here, people always say things like "Your landscaper will get the proper permits."

I wasn't planning on a landscaper except for a largish palm to shade the lanai. (green bananas mindset) Need shade NOW.

What is allowed and not allowed by the supreme beings who govern all in The Villages?

I am still thinking in the mindset of annuals, like petunias, are they perennials in Florida? Do they grow at all? (Since there is no dormant time etc.) Does Lowes and Home Depot sell plants like they do here in Ohio?

Now don't get ideas that I am going to try to plant a rainforest, I am not. I just like to have a hand in things and love to get dirty. I LIKE to garden.
