I am having a 18' by 24' paver patio installed off the side of my Lanai. Is a permit/permission needed for this patio? It will be greater than 10 feet from any property line.

In my opinion you need both.

I'd get permission, just to be sure. Plenty of stories out there of people modifying their property only to find out months (years?) later that they were in violation of something or other.

Good advice.
You can confirm requirements here..ARC
Village Community Development Districts (https://districtgov.org/committees/arc.aspx)

Yes - approval from ARC is required for any changes to the exterior of one’s property. Probably need permit from local government also.

I called the CDD and they said I needed an Architectural Review Application. The forms are online and fairly easy to fill out. They said it would take about two weeks to review. Thanks.

I would suggest getting permission. If you ever sell the home, any permanent features of the home that don't appear in the surveyor's tape map (performed at the sale) are grounds for the buyer to get out of the deal. Happened to us when we discovered that the pool installer never obtained the proper permits.

Best rule to follow is that anything outside the house needs ARC approval. Some may also need permitting. ARC can advise you if it does.

You absolutely need ARC approval and a building permit. Any reputable contractor would advise you of this and take care of both of these steps. Any contractor that says otherwise should not be hired.

What building permit is needed for paver patio (sand set) or on a flat concrete pad? That's a new one to me.

If there is an easement shown on the plat, permission will probably be denied.

Why did they say when you call - or did you - I would not rely on answers from this site!!

I put a paver patio on the side of my house several years ago and my original plan was way more than 10 ft from the property line. I had to modify it a bit anyway since ARC showed/informed me that both the county and the developer had easements which I could not infringe on. Draw it up and go to ARC, they are very helpful.

Call ARC, always. Then to the county. Always safer to ask. I know from experience.

Drainage is one reason to get the Proper paperwork completed…Following the Rules is the best practice…

Yes call Architecture Review Committee. They can also advise on any county permit requirements. They can help you avoid problems down the road.

My understanding from similar projects in Sumter is concrete/ pavers to property line as long as it does not interfere with drain between homes. In my case I had to set back 12" along butting rear property. Permits are required for vertical construction where setbacks are in play.
Hope this helps

I would call the villages rather than ask here. Any reply, including mine, is an OPINION, not binding. As far as what the rule is, there are ?????? like 90 Villages each with different rules.
My OPINION it is likely that you need an OK for any outside modification.

I believe that you need both. A phone call doesn’t cost as much as having to remove the work.

Check with the company installing your pavers. Ours took care of everything.
