ARC approvals are "Village wide" - does not matter which county you live in (The Villages is in three counties) but not applicable at all if you are not in The Villages. Building permits are county-specific so you have to get the permit from the county in which the house is located. Also carefully check out your vendor with the BBB, the Florida Division of Consumer Services, and with Seniors Vs Crime. Don't forget to put a start and end date on the contract and to require a Release of Lien from all subcontractors and suppliers before you make final payment.
