Apparently no one on that street has complained, so it never changes. I’m just glad I’m around the block, and my immediate neighbors follow the district rules. After living next door for 20 years to a total dump in our former state we love the restrictions here, but it sucks that if anything changes with a neighbor’s property we’d have to be the ones to report it since The Villages won’t take responsibility. It shouldn’t be neighbor against neighbor. IMO!

It has been less than a year since the change of no longer summiting anonymous complaints. Complaints are still filed, but the random 50plus at a time has curtailed greatly. Now the complaints that are filed, seem to be those who live in that area. Which is how it should be.
Holiday decorations can be displayed for 30 days, with either yard or outdoor decorations. If the home annoys you, then file a complaint with community standards. You can hide by filing anonymously, or find out if this is a super older citizen, that could use help getting things under control.
Our first neighborhood had a home that holiday decorations stayed up for months, Why, because she had taken a fall, and couldn’t get out to bring them down. After that everyone took turns, making sure her decorations got safely put up and removed. It does take a village to make people’s life a little better
