We are in the process of selling our home in MA and moving to Florida. TV is one area we are interested in, mainly because we have friends there and we have been impressed when we visited them. We are hoping to rent an unfurnished home for a year while we decide on the area where we will buy.

We do have one "issue" that we need to clear up though. From everything I've found, no one under the age of 19 can be considered a permanent resident. We have a 20 year old college student who would most likely be living "at home" during school breaks and during the summer and we need to make sure he can get a resident ID and be able to use the amenities.

If anyone knows the answer to our little dilemma, or can point me to where I can get a definitive answer, I would appreciate it.

Thanks.

You can get your son a resident Guest ID for all those time periods you mentioned. This will give him all the amenities you would have (except for adult-only pools and sport pools..but that's not a problem because the neighborhood family pools are where he would go). And if you do a Priority Golf upgrade, your guest (relative or whomever) has those privileges too.

20 is fine, 19 is fine. 18 is not. Since I presume he won't be on the deed, I think you just have to renew his resident id either every year or every 3 years (can't remember which), but try going to districtgov.org or just call the main number on thevillages.com website and explain what you need answered - they will transfer you to the appropriate dept.

Thanks everyone. I'm feeling better about possibly moving to TV now. I was concerned that there would be a problem with him being home for the summer.

You answered your own question. No one under the age of 19. Yes, your 20 year old can get a resident card and use the amenities.

Since you are renting have have your landlord submit the applications before you get here for your all three ID'S and when you arrive pick them up. That is what our landlord did for us and I just had to go pick them up.

When you rent a home ONLY 2 resident ID's are issued to any house. The rest can get guest ID's. Once you buy a house, your son can have a non-owner resident ID as long as he establishes your address as his permanent address. Take one step at a time.

Even as an owner you are limited to two Resident ID's, as we found out. We have an adult daughter with special needs, but who is able to participate in some activities, and it took us some extra effort to get one issued for her.

you might have to pay more in rent when your son is in the home...other than that there will be no problem

You are not limited to only two resident ID's per home. A "green" resident ID is issued to anyone listed on the deed, in other words the owners. If three people own the house, then three people receive resident ID cards. The "blue" card is for non-owner residents. That is people who live in a home on a permanent basis, but are not on the deed. A non-owner has to prove residency before the card is issued and it has to be renewed every three years.

When I asked about ID's for my two sons (24/21), I was told by someone at the Brownwood sales office, that if they were not on the deed, they could not get permanent ID's, and I would have to get them "guest" passes when they are here. Hope this helps.
