DC,

Have you ever called the deed compliance office directly and spoken with someone of authority to explain your situation and get their take? I've called them before on a rule interpretation and found them to be very helpful. Perhaps the community watch guys are going too far, perhaps they are following the letter of the restrictions (i.e. no 'commercial' vehicles, ie vehicles with signs). I'm sure we've all seen deed restriction violations and done nothing about them.... it can appear to be selective enforcement.

And, yes, people run businesses out of their homes....I recall hearing the distinction was that you could not entertain clients in your home (hmmm, that didn't sound quite right, did it?)
