There is no HOA, and thus no Association Manager in The Villages. There are two groups that will represent the resident's interests - The Villages Home Owners Advocates and the Property Owners Association (VHA and POA respectively), but they have neither power nor authority to affect any change, implement any policy, nor enforce any rules. The reality is that they are little more than social organizations.
Operation and maintenance of the community falls to the Community Development District (CDD) governmental body, a special purpose government under Florida Statute chapter 190. There are currently 16 residential CDDs and 5 commercial CDDs within the boundaries of The Villages communities.
Yep, it's a bit complicated, but it has proven itself to be highly effective for the community for over 30 years. For more information about the governance of The VIllages go to districtgov.org
