Community Standards in TV is a joke. Last time I was there they told me that 95% of the homes in TV are not in compliance. The only way they react is through a complaint. This breeds discord, confusion, and others who just don't care. Also many (at least South of 466A) are not aware that when you purchase a home you really do not own the property 13.5 ft. from the street. There is a County easement for those 13.5 ft. and the County can come in at any point and have you remove anything in the easement if they wanted. Within two miles of my home in North Labelle I drove around and counted over 100 homes not in compliance. There is a home on Moyer Loop that has installed huge rocks with bushes within 3 ft. of the street. There is another who has installed curbing and flowers up against the street curbing on a corner lot. It does not bother me and I have never complained but it is amazing what home owners are not aware of when they purchase a home. Just be aware all it takes is one complaint.
