If you live in Sumter then the County has an easement 13 and 1/2 feet from the street. And, if you go to Community Standards and try to get approval to plant trees or anything they will tell you that. Also they will tell you if you ask enough that about 95% of homes in TV are not in compliance. You cannot build or put anything within three feet of your neighbors property. If you do and they complain you will need to remove.

This is not true for courtyard villas and some other house types. The deed restrictions for many of the small houses establish easements that allow your next door neighbor to control the landscaping on part of your property. Some of these easements extend to almost up to your neighbor's exterior house wall. And, I don't think there is a rule that says you cannot place landscaping within 3 feet of your neighbor's property line for any house. You need to read the deed restriction document very carefully. I had to read mine about 7 times before I could fully comprehend what it allows and requires.
