A lot depends on the type of home, Villa or on your own lot. I cannot comment on villas (way too confusing). As for encroachment on your own lot, simply call Community Standards about the problem. In general there is a 3 foot to 5 foot area between the houses that cannot be planted as this is kept clear for drainage. There are also areas to the front and back that cannot be planted highly dependent on the type of lot.
You can get a copy of your plat (plot) plan from the county building department. Ths will give you a lot of information on restricted areas.
