I've had two houses in two different sections of the Villages in Sumter Co.
The first house had a survey and clearly shows that the property line ends 25 feet from the center line of the street. It shows a 15 foot lawn area between my line and the curb, i.e. the street is not 50 feet wide but 20 foot wide. The 15 foot section between the curb and the property line is not mine but my deed restrictions require I maintain it.
My current house does not have a survey but the street plat shows that my property line is 25 feet from the center line of the street. The plat shows the street is 50 feet wide, but it is not 50 feet wide, it is 28 feet wide, so the same condition as house one applies to my current house as well, 11 feet of the lawn is not mine.
So, the 10-15 foot swath of lawn next to the road is your to maintain and it is open for anyone to "trespass" on it, including dogs.

Thank you for this very informative post and also to you, Carl, for getting this started. All I wanted to know was if I could walk my dogs down the street without harassment. Things are looking up and maybe now I won't actually have to fear getting run over by a vehicle if I have to move to the side to let one pass.
Oh and CFrance, jealously envisioning your lovely time and that of Crosby also. Have fun with all the attention.
