As my mother use to say, "forget it son, in this world there are other bigger fish to fry".
Restrictions are an agreement between the district and the homeowner and just apply to the district and the nomeowner. Both parties agreed on certain things. If either party defaults, the other party can sue. That's "YOUR" power of enforcement. SCSO has nothing to do with it. SCSO enforces laws, not deed restrictions.

For example if your neighbor starts putting yard decorations in their front yard (a violation), you can sue the district for failing to enforce the restrictions that your neighbor agrees to in a legal document.
