That being said, there are parking ordinances that govern the streets.
He forwarded me some links to the districts deed restrictions.
Unfortunately it seems in District 14 of which I am part it reads..
The rules read that a private vehicle is permitted to park on the street. It is trucks in excess of ¾ ton size, boats, trailers, aircraft, recreation vehicles, and commercial vehicles that are not permitted.
So it seems upon first blush that there may be no recourse…. I’m not certain what the parking ordinances are that he makes mention of.

The only deed restrictions that I have referred to are for courtyard villas. It appears that there aren't any courtyard villas in District 14. The Property Management person I spoke with told me that their office maintains the streets within the courtyard villa sections because these are not county roads. For example, my street has a 10 mph speed limit sign that went missing last year. I called the Property Management office, and they sent a Villages employee to replace the sign. If it were a county road, the county would replace the sign. The Property Management person also told me that they are responsible for the maintenance of all courtyard villa section streets in The Villages. I have not read all of the courtyard villa deed restrictions, but the standard document prohibits homeowners from parking their vehicle on the street or in the visitor parking spaces. However, visitors are allowed to park on the street while visiting.
