I have no idea if my shingles are the right color or if my paint is the right hue or if that shrub in my front yard was approved. All were there when I purchased the house. As much time as I've spent learning how this place works, I don't know where I would go today to learn if my home is completely in compliance. If the answer is Community Standards/Deed Compliance, if that is the office that can determine if my home has a violation, then there should be a way to get a certificated from them stating as much.
How about if you buy your house thru a Villages "sales agent" that they are responsible for identifying any infraction which exist at time of sale. A certificate of compliance should be issued by the ARC as part of the closing process. Include resolution in the usual 1% inspection correction clause.
