Most of us are usually very disinclined to tell a neighbor about rules or how to run things. The process here on deed restrictions is that before action is taken a person must report the situation.

I think that I would give the neighbor the number for ARC and tell them you think that it isn't allowed and that they should check first because you have heard that people had to remove items not approved at their own expense.

When we arrived in Hadley to find upwards of 30 statues, art, figurines and flower pots in a neighbors yard...I was very disappointed.

They eventually removed them. Someone reported them.

No one wants to be a snitch. We all wish that "they" (The Villages) would handle it but most of us like the deed restrictions very much and are very used to them from prior places to live. They are one of the reasons we chose to live here.

Before we purchased our home in TV we found out what the rules were regarding pets, fences, lawn decorations, etc. So when we did purchase our home we had the limited number of pets, we bought a CYV so that we could have a fence and have not put a bunch of "decorations" in our yard. What we have found, especially regarding the lawn decorating, is that apparently some of my neighbors either don't know the rules or just don't think that they apply to them.
