"A permit is required for all landscaping"........ A permit is required only to the point of the resident not planting on Special Easements. We all know, there are plenty of Row hedges out there to form a privacy fence.
In addition you will be faced with Florida Statute 373.185 states: A deed restriction or covenant may not prohibit or be enforced so as to prohibit any property owner from implementing Florida-friendly landscaping on his or her land. (Effective 7/1/09)
This situation is unfortunate but its not as clear cut as what the District just told you.
I wish you the best of luck..........as others have said, please be tactiful in your discussions, for you will be living next to these people for a period of time. HOw long ......Umh!!
