I have read responses to my questions and the inquiries of others here on TOTV only to find myself more confused than when I started. I have done some research and found (what I think) is a road map to understanding more about how The Villages operates in reference to our desires to modify our property, yet protect the interest and investment of all our neighbors. Start with this site to understand who is in charge:
http://www.districtgov.org/
Now you may wish to get a little more specific to your modification needs by reading this material:
http://www.districtgov.org/departmen...-STANDARDS.pdf
Then if you are not lost, move on to this little gem so you can ask for what you want from the folks that can give you permission:

Of course, you may not get permission, so then I would recommend you try this hat on:
