We placed small signs shaped like a dog with wording "No Dumping" on it on our property. We received a visit from the deed restriction dept. and were informed we needed to remove the sign. Of course we were turned in by an unknown neighbor. The gentlemen that came was quite surprised to see we have a dog of our own. I informed him we love animals but not some of their owners. Also had quite a conversation with the gentlemen and he even stated he has the same problem in his own neighborhood. There was an article in the recreation news this year where it says
"It also means that the pet owner must prevent the pet from entering onto another resident's lot and doing its business". "It also means that even though you may have your pet on a 20-foot retractable leash, you are responsible for keeping that pet off of private property". This article I quoted from was written by the deed compliance manager for the VCDD. Now this should be the end of the story!
