Driveway Parking

[ladila2]

Seems like I remember when I moved to The Villages there was a code that stipulated resident's vehicles should be parked in their garage.
My neighborhood is beginning to look like a parking lot. Neighbor has three cars and a golf car, two are always left in the driveway throughout the night. Other neighbor never puts the vehicle in the garage.
Just wish to clarify this?? Thank you

[gatorbill1]

no such code - there are some restrictions on parking on the road

:ohdear: VCDD Community Standards (https://www.districtgov.org/departments/Community-Standards/community-standards.aspx)

[retiredguy123]

I don't think there is any prohibition about parking in your driveway. In most courtyard villas, owners must park their vehicles in the driveway or in the garage, but are not allowed to park on the street or in the visitor spaces. However, visitors are allowed to park on the street or in the visitor spaces. In fact, in non-courtyard areas, I think you can park either in your driveway or on the street, unless the street is designated as a no parking area.

[Topspinmo]

Read restrictions for My district and more or less majority rules are same. Just can’t park truck over 3/4 ton in the drive way other than temporary, which explained under RV parking (72 Hours max for loading and unloading. For regular vehicles no restrictions parking in drive way, but, can’t park in the grass, rocks if have rock yard, or sidewalks to front door. Street parking has some restrictions like when diamond lane runs in front of you’re home. You can’t block the diamond lane for extended amount of time, see landscapers during work hours parked to do work. Not all districts standards are the same. Nobody monitoring parking. Somebody has to complain in writing if you expect any violations to be corrected, if the are actually violations? This IMO more of problem in CYV’s and patio villas with 1 1/2 garages and limited driveway space along with narrow streets that wasn’t designed for street parking.

Courtyard villa parking restrictions from the covenants:

"No Owner of a Homesite shall park, store, or keep any vehicle except wholly within his driveway, garage or other non-visitor parking spaces."

The Villages will enforce this rule if there is a complaint.

:ohdear: They don't!

[retiredguy123]

:ohdear: They don't!
The rule has been enforced in courtyard villa areas, especially where owners have tried to use the visitor parking spaces to store a vehicle for weeks at a time.

[600th Photo Sq]

Actually Courtyard Villa roads are considered " Private " with public access. As for parking a vehicle on the street, as long as an " Emergency " can get by parking a vehicle on the street is allowed.

Annoying yes...but nothing ya can do about it.

Refer to Post No. 7. According to the covenants, owners cannot park on the street, but visitors can.

[EdFNJ]

Seems like I remember when I moved to The Villages there was a code that stipulated resident's vehicles should be parked in their garage. Not logical or plausible as many people have 2 cars and a 1 or 1 1/2 car garage.

I had such a situation. I tried to have a car removed which was not blocking any traffic. Neither The Villages or the Sumter County Police Department were able to remove the car. They even went so far as to tell me if someone dies and their car is left on the street they do not have the right to move it unless it is blocking or causing some such traffic issue.

I moved here to the Village of Amelia in 2007. I could have sworn, too, that I read that somewhere because I have always remembered it. It looked so nice when we first moved in but then it gradually changed to what you are now saying. I prefer the clean look. Now it looks like it did up North, except for the trashcans & recycling bins.:sigh:

[NJDiane]

I specifically asked about that when we bought our home. The realtor said you are allowed to park in the driveway. Some people do that in our neighborhood and it doesn’t bother me at all!

[Byte1]

I have more important things to agitate me than someone parking in THEIR OWN driveway. My garage is full and I leave my car in the driveway at all times. I have enough space to park four cars if I wish. If a neighbor parking in their own driveway bothers one, then I suppose the color of one's golf cart and what they wear is at the top of their worry list also.

[camaguey48]

If they are on the driveway, I don’t think it’s an issue. Perhaps the carport is full of stuff and no room for vehicles. As long as they don’t park at the curb, it’s ok.

[OlifOlif]

What about laving a car on a driveway for months as Tony and Anna has done nearby?

[jc.vererel@gmail.com]

Why

[soniak4@gmail.com]

No such code, anywhere in The Villages. Anyone can use their driveways to park as many cars as they want to. Does not matter what you think it looks like.

[bmit16]

Parking on the street is annoying when people block the road or cart lane, but in a driveway does not bother me. However, people who burn wood in fire pits is really inconsiderate. I like to be able to put my windows up when it is cool without smelling smoke or having my home smell like smoke.

[PugMom]

my town car doesnt really fit in the garage. i get maybe 6-8 inches of space left over.

[kayak]

The worst I've seen is a snowbird's car on jack stands all summer long with a cover on the car.

[dchockey123]

I agree

[Joeint]

The worst I've seen is a snowbird's car on jack stands all summer long with a cover on the car.

Just trying to prevent flat spots on the tires. I left my car for 6 months without moving when I came back the tires had flat spots, luckily they rounded out after a few hundred miles of driving.

[riamd1954]

I personally agree with the villager who posted about the rules of no cars in driveway!! That needs to be addressed!! We all have garages so PUt your cars in them !! Thx

[Garylp3]

I'm seeing the same, some neighbors trucks are too long to even fit in their garage. When the garage door is open I see why. People brought 40 years of stuff from their big house up north. Did they not realize Florida homes do not have basements or attics? Time to down size and minimize the clutter. It is a eyesore to see so many cars in driveways.

[Garylp3]

Really? i love the smell of firewood smoke. (Cigs and cigars no) Firewood yes

[Andyb]

Don’t sweat the small stuff.

[kayak]

Jack stands and/or car covers are an eyesore. Use the garage!

[BobnBev]

Maybe Community Watch could double as the Garage/Driveway Police, and tow your car out of your driveway, to an impound area, where you have to pay a big fine to get your car back.......see where this is going?:ohdear::ohdear::ohdear:

That’s exactly right! Just as long as it isn’t sitting on jacks & doesn’t run.

Be happy they are not on the street. I would never park a car in a house that I sleep in . As long as the cars are not an eye sore what's the difference . Just my opinion .

[gatorbill1]

most areas do not have visitor parking, so where is a visitor supposed to park if not in your driveway. Get real and look for real problems that are out there

[Chatbrat]

I've got a neighbor who keeps his collector cars inside their garage--his & his wife's daily drivers are in the driveway--No problem--they're not beaters

and if you have a house without an extended garage a lot of newer cars are too long

[Dr Winston O Boogie jr]

We have two cars and a golf cart and a two car garage. My wife's car sits in the driveway. What is the problem and why does this NEED to be addressed.

Also, many people have house guest who drive in and keep their cars in the driveway.

Some people seem to find problems every where they look. Calm down and enjoy the great life we have here.

[Chellybean]

I must of missed that restriction? where does it say you can't have cars in the driveway?

[equaintance]

Too many people let their cars hand out of the driveway onto the street which is dangerous.

[Chatbrat]

No such restriction- I gave my old benz to my wife's niece--it was parked in the street for a week while she was visiting us--no problems, no complaints

[vintageogauge]

It's okay as long as you park under the eaves.

[Topspinmo]

Most can’t get vehicles in the garage anyway cause full of junk. No Law against parking in you’re driveway, just restrictions what you can park in driveway. Just be glad they are parking I the drive way and not on sidewalks, grass, rocks, or in street that want made for street parking.

[Rapscallion St Croix]

How am I supposed to park my car in the garage when I am running a puppy mill and a lawn ornament manufacturing operation in there? Get real.

There are restrictions what you can park in you’re driveway in most districts

[Velvet]

I must be in the minority but I Like the cars parked in the driveway. It gives a certain sense of security, a sense of comfort. That people are home, the houses are not vacant. Although that is not always the case but it often is. Like garbage day, you know people are home when they put out the garbage.

Some streets look so sterile, lonely, like no one is ever home. They are tidy, but who is even there to see it?

[big guy]

Two people next door with a truck and 3 cars in the driveway and a truck, car, golf cart in the garage. During the day, there was another truck in front of the house. It looked like a used car lot over there. I didn't like it since I couldn't see neighbor's flowers, which were infinitely prettier, but more because it looked so junkie. I didn't call to complain but evidently someone did because the trucks all disappeared and there is only one car in the driveway these days and they give me the suspicious eye.

[Velvet]

Like with salt one can overdo it. One car in the driveway is reassuring to me, a fleet is a problem. Also, I like my neighbors so I’m glad they are home.

[Marathon Man]

Some of these responses get gold stars.

If that is the major difficulty she has in her life I pity her. We have to make a choice either the cart or the car can go in the garage. Maybe she could petition the villages to tear down my neighbors house and build me a bigger garage.

Some folks have more cars than there is space in the garage. As an example, 2 cars and 1 golf cart can not all fit in a two car garage.

[coffeebean]

......... Did they not realize Florida homes do not have basements or attics?

Besides the 10"X10" area planked by the builder, we had more flooring installed in our attic. We even had wall to wall carpet installed in the attic (was carpet removed from my sister's home so was no cost to us; just the cost of the carpet layer's labor). We have plenty of attic space. Most of the space is accessible without having to crawl to get to it.

Can’t stop you from parking on a county street, road, terrace, etc.. The Villages does not have jurisdiction. In fact The Villages has a whole bunch of rules it simply can’t enforce.

Yes as i have said in the past State and federal Law preempts anything you sign no matter what the almighty tells you!

[mtdjed]

I can't park under the eaves . That's where I have to keep my flock of plastic flamingos and other lawn ornaments. That's why I can't park my car in the garage.

Note, some homes in The Villages do not have garages.

[Marathon Man]

Including laws that apply to contracts.

[Chellybean]

Including laws that apply to contracts.

I understand what you are trying to say but contracts become invalid for someone to enforce if State and Federal law preempts it. Another wards It becomes moot issue when they are in Conflict with State and Federal Law.
For example the powers to be try to enforce placement of outside antennas.
They Can't enforce this especially when there is federal law specifically addressing this and also case law backing it up.
People give up so many of there rights when moving here due to ignorant s of the law.
JMHO
Don't be bullied just because someone believes it to be a restriction they signed! The Powers to be know some of there restrictions are unenforceable but they try to enforce them by intimidation.

I don’t think that’s true about you have to put car in garage. By the picture this person looks like they have enough room for 2 more cars. They could of parked those 3 cars in the street & that would of been worse. My point is you better drive around TV & see how many cars are parked in in there own personal driveways. If the rules do say. should be parked in garage. It doesn’t say they HAVE TO BE PARK IN GARAGE! Like I was told once, if you don’t like something, move. Don’t want to sound mean but don’t get your neighbors mad at you. TV is a nice & friendly place to live!

[Curtisbwp]

no such code - there are some restrictions on parking on the road
The code is No junk cars, TV parking is time limited I have two cars, two motorcycles and one golf cart. Cars are parked in my driveway.

Annoying when trying to get out of you’re curved driveway when some AH parked half way out in middle of the street and half blocking you’re entry. You can’t park on both sides of street and vehicle pass through unless the vehicles are half on lawns. The 2 foot concrete strip around CYVs are private property, two of the five foot easements in front yards.

[Rapscallion St Croix]

Yes, and I am violating the following restrictions:

1. My driveway is made of paving stones instead of concrete.
2. I am violating the two pet policy with my aquarium
3. Some of my shrubs are over 4 feet tall
4. I have more info on my sign than just our names

I only wish the worst problem in my life was someone parking THEIR car in THEIR driveway.

[tophcfa]

I have no problem with people parking THEIR OWN cars in their driveway. What I have a problem with is my neighbor who operates a business (AIR BNB) out of the house and the renters park their cars in front of my house, sometimes on top of my sprinkler heads. Unfortunately, AIR BNB is violating an internal deed restriction, which is next to impossible to get enforced.

[OrangeBlossomBaby]

I leave my pickup truck in the driveway because the roof of the garage is too low for it to fit on the cinderblocks in there.

If you are renting your entire house through AIRBNB there is not any deed restriction violation. If you are renting a room in your home WHILE YOU ARE LIVING THERE then you are violating two deed restrictions. The home is no longer being used as SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL and you are now running a business out of your home that is generating taxable income.

Weight is the rule most light duty trucks are use as personnel vehicles, heavy duty trucks are used on farms and tow vehicles/ RV trailer haulers.

I know you can park in your driveway in courtyard villa neighborhoods but when you drive thru some of them they do look like giant parking lots. Pretty unattractive.
