--Deed restrictions can and do vary. A home must meet the restrictions of the CDD where it is located.

Will all the CDD's issue a 'certification' that a home is 'in compliance' with all their regulations before you buy it?
--No


Should I put a contingency in my offers/contracts that requires the Owner/Seller/Realtor to take care of it?
--That is a great idea. I've not heard of anyone doing that, but you could be starting something big.

I've seen this problem reported many times but never any solutions.
-- You may have the beginnings of a solution.
And is the information solely for the homeowner, meaning a buyer can’t get the information prior to going into escrow?
