When I pointed out the above section, she said that restriction is no longer enforced and I would have to call Sumter County police to deal with it. (Oh for the days when Nick was in charge of VCDD!)"
I don't know if what I have gone through elsewhere would apply but this is what we went through.
We have moved around a lot and have had many situations were neighbors were not in compliance with the deed restrictions. It affects your property values and to that end is actionable, but not easy or cheap to enforce.
What I found out from what we went through is that you have to get either your homeowners group or a petition from the affected neighbors and get a judge to order a cease and desist order and then the cops will enforce it. This was for a fence issue. When I lived in a development with visitor parking because the spaces were the property held in common and deeded with the rec center those managing the common areas could have the vehicles towed as it was private property with use restrictions. They first glued a big violation sticker to the car for the first offense on the second the car was towed. The judge did make them put up a more detailed sign with the rules for 30 days first. I would think this would apply here. We were lucky and had a neighbor who was a lawyer and did the leg work all I had to do was take around the petition.
