Our Villages Deed Restrictions state "when not within the confines of the home, shall be restrained by a leash."
The Sumter County leash laws apply to dogs-not cats. Quoting from sumtercountyfl.gov/FAQ.aspx?QID-the Sumter County, FL - Official Website
"1. What are the leash laws in Sumter County?
County Code 4-10 states that all dogs must be confined on owners property at all times or under direct control or on a leash when off the owners property."

Something to note, also, is that not ALL Village Deed Restrictions make any notation regarding leashing of pets.
