Oh I would say it would be next to impossible for anyone to have posted 116 posts and not have at least an idea this topic would generate a whole lot of discussion.

It is not ONLY the business owner's decision as a Sumter County permit is required and Cody's is the only restaurant that has one and they are subject to fines if they don't have the permit.

Having a permit requires a whole list of sanitation requirements which usually are not followed.

ALL the information below was taken from another thread on this subject and there are many: And NO the response mentioned was not to me. With so much misinformation and off the wall opinions it appeared this was needed to clear things up.

Only Cody's has a permit

The responsive official from the Sumter (no p) County Government answered my asking if any restaurants had permits for non-service dogs to be allowed in the outdoor dining areas. Only Cody's in LSL has such a permit. Here is his email:

Presently, Cody’s Road House in Lake Sumter Landings in The Villages is the only restaurant in Sumter County permitted under Section 13-735 of the Land Development Code. If you have observed dogs being allowed into outdoor dining areas in unpermitted restaurants, please advise me and I will contact the restaurant to advise them of the permit requirements. If you have visited Cody’s Road House and believe they are not complying with the requirements of their permit, please also let me know and I will assign an inspector to review their compliance.

If you have any additional questions, please contact me.

So for those who are unhappy with dogs, or possible lack of compliance with all the sanitary rules, you have your contact information.
