The CDD has five commissioners who have monthly meetings that cover many topics, one of which are notifications of deed compliance violations.

- I have not heard of a single case where a complaint was brought before the CDD that they did not vote to enforce compliance. No selectivity, just overall enforcement. At times CDDs have expressed regret that they were not able to disregard a violation but in the end, they voted for enforcement.

- No, the CDD does not allow signs. When the CDD is made aware of a sign, they take appropriate action to have the sign removed.

We can argue all day about who is correct in their personal interpretation but that will get us nowhere. I cannot prove a negative, I cannot prove that there was never a case that claimed selective enforcement that was denied. I can assert that I am not aware of any such cases but there is no way to prove that.

You, on the other hand, have a much simpler task. Show one case where a deed restriction violation has been allowed to continue on the basis of selective enforcement. Show just one and it will prove your case and make some Villagers quite hopeful about their particular situation.
The paradox is it also seems impossible to independently prove a pre-owned home is in compliance before purchase.

If a home has a non-compliance in place 5+ yrs, l don't understand why the statute of limitations doesn't apply?
