I suggest that you remember when people buy a home in the villages from the original home owner. The new home owners don't sign any rules. After a while you will have no rules that can be inforced by the villages.
Deed restrictions run with the land no matter who owns the property. They are recorded in the land records of the county and are public info. They remain in force forever, unless the State or Federal govt passes a law making them inoperative as in the case of American Flags in Florida. A new buyer should be informed by his attorney or the real estate professional representing him of the restrictions. Failure to be informed does no relieve one from the responsibility to comply ( but may be cause for action against attorneys or agents). Any property owner subject to the same recorded restrictions has standing to go to court ( if necessary) to inforce such restrictions. Petitions to change restrictions normally require a super majority of those property owner which are subject to the restraints (up to 100per cent ) to compel changes.
