Interesting points above, I saw the article also, and went to the VCDD website this morning and downloaded the deed restrictions for area 224 (this is South of 466A), and did a word search for Ornament and Lawn, and neither were in there. My suggestion, everyone reading this, go to the VCDD website, and do the same, get a copy of your deed restriction and look it over. There appears to be a lot of misinformation. I believe a previous post stated no lawn ornaments south of 466, which does not appear to be the case south of 466a.
Here is the link for Sumter county:

Hope this helps.
