I don't think I remember our Villages agent telling us about the restrictions. He answered when we asked a specific question about anything. We did know about them because on our "drink the Koolaid" visit with friends, when they took us to Orange Blossom Hills restaurant for dinner, we noted that there were a lot of lawn ornaments on the older side and we discussed it then with our hosts and about the difference and tightening of restrictions as the area grew and moved south.

You may be right and it may be required by Florida disclosure laws, or they may be different from Ohio and I just don't remember hearing it, or Sweetie may have been told not in my hearing or I may have signed a paper with all of the details at closing...but I don't recall doing so.

Are disclosure laws consistent across the United States?

Because we have deed restrictions in our development in Cincinnati that are very similar to those in The Villages, I really didn't give it much thought.

I know I like those restrictions very much.

How did those folks get by the restrictions painting that house such a BRIGHT BLUE up near Glenview Country Club??????
