To determine whether a house is in compliance you need to look at the deed restrictions for the area (unit, in the District jargon), which is available on the District web site, and see if anything you see outside the house does not follow those restrictions. If anything is not in compliance you then need to see if any ARC application(s) have been filed and approved for that property that cover the out-of-deed-compliance items. That can also be done on the web site, though I have found it is clunky to do so. It is a lot of trouble, especially for someone not familiar with The Villages or deed-restricted communities. If you are buying a pre-owned home it would definitely be worth while have a discussion with your realtor about this.
