The Villages isn't interested in deed compliance, they have assigned that authority to the CDDs. The CDDs feel they have a responsibility to enforce deed compliance but only when brought to their attention through a complaint.
IANAL but *maybe* the absence of a Villages-authorized or CDD-authorized pre-sale inspection to ensure deed compliance is due to concerns about liability or selective enforcement. If the CDD performs the inspection and that inspection misses something then they may lose their right to begin action against the violation in the future. This may also allow other homeowners to make a claim of selective enforcement if the CDD attempts to take action against a similar violation on their property. The best way to avoid this is for the CDDs to not look for violations themselves but to aggressively pursue action against any violations they are made aware of and this is how the CDDs are behaving today.
