What I can tell from my google research, sanding is required if they painted with a latex paint.
Can I paint the closet trim/baseboards with oil based paint and skip the sanding?
thank you!

Never put oil based paint over Latex. 99% of the homes in the Villages have a water borne paint on the trim. I did my painting apprenticeship in the 60s, and painted for over 40yrs. Sherwin Williams makes Pro Classic water borne enamel. I highly recommend you use it. A very light sanding with a sanding sponge should be sufficient.
