Look up the property deed restrictions then look at the property. Then follow up to see if they have ARC approval for what has been done to the property.
A seller signs a disclosure statement of compliance as part of the seller disclosure form used by T V when listing the property if sold using The Villages. I had to make that statement when I listed my property for sale 6 months ago.
Ask your agent to verify one was signed. If you are using a Villages realtor they all play in the same sand box so they would know. If I remember correctly the buyer gets a copy of the packet of listing papers before closing when they are signing the contract to purchase. Look for the compliance statement.
It would be a civil matter within state statute and state staute limitations if the house is out of compliance and the seller lied on the form.
