There are way too many stupid rules in TV. I sure some will disagree because they love rules and control.

The "rules" do vary slightly by CDD, so it is possible that some CDDs allow some signs and or balloons while others do not, yes this is confusing. The VCDD website has all of the rules for each CDD.

Community watch admin (I assume not a driver) needs to drive around TV. There are.....and have been for years...balloons everywhere for garage sales!

It really does depend on which community watch person comes by.

That's only because you aren't having a garage sale!

The operative phrase is "on Villages property". I've seen signs and balloons placed on the grassed area of someone's home (with their permission of course) that were not removed. Light posts, road signs, and traffic control signs are considered Villages property.

You call a prohibition of hanging balloons and such on traffic control signs a "stupid rule"? Really?!?

One rule CDD should adopt items for sale should actually be worth something

I prefer a nice looking community. If a person wants to live in a trailer park then they should move there. If people don't like the rules then they shouldn't have bought here in the first place.

As to the last statement you make...I prefer rules that are common sense and am glad someone enforces them. If I could control anything it would be the ability to remove stupid posts.

Can you name anywhere that would allow hanging something on a stop sign (a legal one). Let's not hang the community watch guy. However this will turn into jumping all over the developer for not allowing signs in other areas including your own property. Of which the rules were contained in the paperwork you were given and signed before you closed on your house. But hey everyone else does it !
