I know it was a non resident because she emailed the complaints, and under the FL sunshine laws, a Tamarind Grove owner was able to obtain the email.

If you go on the VCDD Community Standards site you will see a list of the districts. You can click on each district to see the rules for that area. They define what lawn ornaments are and where they cannot be displayed. You can also email a complaint directly to Community Standards by clicking on deed compliance. (Deedcompliance@districtgov.org) You could then list addresses and then you would have to specify each exact infraction for that address. Deed compliance only asks removal of objects mentioned at the specific address that was in the complaint. The person who did this in Pinellas did a lot of work and doesn’t even live in our Village.
Our little side of Pinellas is a quiet, small neighborhood that most of us have lived in for close to six years. We have block parties, Rec center parties, and a lot of friendly waving and stopping to chat. We love our neighborhood and everything about it. Yet one day a troll rolled through from another neighborhood turned off on Pinellas Place and drove around our quiet little streets and recorded over 35 complaints and then drove back out of our isolated paradise and back onto Pinellas Place to wherever they live. Neighborhoods should be monitored by that particular Village’s residents only. That is one change I would make on this system. It would still protect property values as people could effect change in their own neighborhood, but it would stop outsiders from invading neighborhoods they don’t live in. Just think, these trolls had to read up on District 9 rules and then launch an assault on our quiet enclave in the Village of Pinellas. We Pinellas Villagers are not happy that an outsider came in and anonymously complained about us. I hope the VCDD makes sure, at least, that this person is an actual Villages resident and has a valid Villages ID card.
