- If not corrected then a public hearing is held by the CDD
- If still not corrected a service can be hired to maintain the property with the cost assessed against the home
- If enough fines are built up the CDD can file to attach a lien to the home
But first, there needs to be a violation and a complaint. As long as the neighbors are cutting the grass there is no violation.

Did you read the OP's post? It said:
"It got so bad some neighbors and lawn guy started taking care of weeds and lawn. Community Standards have not helped."
Community Standards and Deed Compliance work together and they occupy the same office and they are on The Villages website. Aren't they part of The Villages? The Deed Compliance office is supposed to address deed restriction violations, and this clearly is a violation. According to the OP, they have not helped, and it has been a year. Shouldn't they at least inform the OP of what is being done, if anything? Shouldn't the Community Standards person who accepted the complaint have provided a copy of the letter they sent to the developer, which they said they would send?
