Hell I have a neighbor that just took his Christmas decorations down last week. No I did not and will not turn him in, although I've been the recipient of a complaint which I won by the way.

I agree with Skip that if the Deed Restrictions were enforced, there would be very few residences that wouldn't receive a notice or fine. That's exactly what I see when I ride my bike around The Villages. But for the most part, they are common, minor things.
Of course a rusty car on building blocks in a driveway for a month is going to be reported. Or a stuffed moose on a front lawn. Or a purple polk-a-dot garage door.
I personally think that the complaint-driven system is working OK. People aren't offended by minor infractions and don't report them. I don't think we need to get bubbles in our pee because someone in another Village has a trellis in their back yard. If their neighbors are fine with it, then so am I!
Volunteers with "Deed Restriction Deputy Badges"?
Just chatting over coffee.
