Running Business out of Home

[ZanieV22]

Problem solved.

I would read your covenant documents because it is probably not allowed. My covenant says, "No business of any kind shall be conducted on any residence with the exception of the business of Declarant and the transferees of Declarant in developing and selling all of the Homesites as provided herein." So, if your covenant includes this clause, you just need to file a complaint and the management office will stop it.

Thanks for the input. Will check our home records.

Home business are not allowed per deed restrictions. However, it is considered an internal deed restriction and is not often enforced. Anyone who rents a room in their home using a service like AIRBNB, while living in the home, is violating a deed restriction.

Based on the OP's description of the situation, I think there is a good chance that management would enforce the deed restriction in this case. I would file a complaint. Very easy to document with photos, and what do you have to lose?

I don't know what county the OP lives in, but, in Sumter County, it may not be just an internal deed restriction. Sumter County has very strict rules for operating a business in your home and they require a special home occupation permit. I would suggest that the OP check this website for detailed information.

Well you can lose the neighbors goodwill . what bothers you? The truck? The deliveries . maybe just talk to him about putting the truck into the driveway.

Just an FYI, I have been looking to purchase a home in TV and as part of my research with Google Maps one of the homes I looked at just north of 466 showed a business 4 doors away (for Window Tinting). As much as I liked the home, it turned me off even though the street view didn't show any commercial trucks etc and the business looked like a regular home. I don't know why Google maps elected to show this type of detail, but it does.

These sorts of things do have an impact beyond the visual, and can affect home values in the entire neighborhood.

Have you considered that Google maps made an error?

Error or not, the fact that the possibility of a business being conducted four doors down was enough to discourage the prospective buyer on that street. Point was made.

From the Google info, conducting a business cannot be determined.
This may just be a business address and nothing more.
Deliveries, pick-up, customers visiting for quotes, etc. is conducting a business.
Jumping to conclusions...…………………...

Please talk to your neighbor first to see what can be worked out before you go off to The Villages to complain.

Most sincere apologies. Not running business out of home. Have 5000 sf warehouse in Wildwood. Occasionally I stop home after work with truck. Holidays were a little hectic with family in town and too many vehicles for driveway. I will make sure to park truck in driveway in future on the rare occasion when I come by in truck. Thx for heads up. Don’t want to be a bother to anyone.



Been in TV for 8 years. Live in a quiet Loop. Have a neighbor who likes to fix Blinds and parks a commercial delivery and equipment truck in the street on a regular basis. Wouldn't be half bad in the driveway but have been given the impression that running a business out of your home is frowned upon especially when receiving deliveries for customers regularly and parking the work truck in the street in front of the house. When the truck is parked in the street it is right before a curve on the loop and visibility is blocked especially for golf carts. Can anyone give me the skinny on the rules. Thanks

Problem resolved, most Villagers are great people.

Google information is outdated. Our neighborhood shows a business and the people moved years agol An Avon lady could be listed. You could try to Google the business to see how current the information is.

[ronsroni]

Have you considered or tried talking to this neighbor? Perhaps it is not what you think.
Is this a NEW resident on the block?
I hope you can resolve this without incident.

Read the codes carefully. One cannot run a business IN their house. Implied meaning is have customers physically come to their home to conduct business .One CAN use their home for office needs for business conducted off site such as your neighbor as long as no actual business is conducted in the home.
