Most subdivisions built out in Florida in the last few years have deed restrictions. They are not limited to adult communities or to Community Development Districts. I moved to a subdivision in 1987 that had a rule, among others, that garage doors could not be left open. That was when the subdivision was new.
After 10 years of non activity the Homeowners Association along with the covenants were abandoned. Then the ugly sheds, detached garages. motor home storage sheds, etc. started sprouting up. It wasn't nice.
Be thankful that is unlikely to happen in a CDD like ours.
