In that case, OP may have been required to apply not only to ARC but to Sumter (or appropriate county) for a building permit and subsequent inspection. If the latter, I’d throw myself at the mercy of the court. It was an honest mistake.

Perhaps I need to be more clear. Landscaper is well known here in The Villages. It was a brand new house and property. Many many palm trees. Islands on side of property has short stack walls. Curbing encircles all around landscaping on sides and back of house. I don't know if landscaper placed everything within the distance from other houses that is required by code. Is it the correct distance from property lines. Are those islands the correct distance from the street? No neighbor has complained-yet. Just concerned it is going to bite us in the behind when we go to sell it if there was never any ARC review and permits obtained.
