Are there in fact some businesses that are allowed and others that would be shut down? I assume that many Villages operate home based businesses to supplement their income.

The document we received at our closing in 2002 is titled Declaration of Restrictions relating to: The Villages of Lake-Sumter Unit no. 39 a subdivision of Sumter Count, Florida etc. Unit 39 is a section of the Village of Glenbrook, so the restrictions listed cover every lot within Unit 39. Your Unit and Lot # are shown on your Villages ID above the barcode.
The specific restriction relating to business is 2.9 under Use of Property and states: "PROPERTIES WITHIN THE SUBDIVISION ARE INTENDED FOR RESIDENTIAL USE AND NO COMMERCIAL, PROFESSIONAL OR SIMILAR ACTIVITY REQUIRING EITHER MAINTAINING AN INVENTORY, OR CUSTOMER/CLIENT VISITS MAY BE CONDUCTED IN A HOME OR ON A LOT." This document is a public record and is filed with Sumter County.
I'm pretty sure that this is one restriction that applies to all residential properties in the Villages, but you would have to read the document that applies to your Unit to be certain. As with all deed restriction violations in TV it's enforced if it's reported.
