That’s because they thought it was a wild life watering trough filled by rain water. Not. Supposed to encourage the cayotes

Ok, had to do it. Agree with all serious answers. Thanks for providing an alternative name for “rain gutter”. Sounds much more sophisticated

I just called ARC about our home in Deluna. We do not need their approval for gutters, front storm/screen door or retractable awnings over the garage door.

Even the pink ones with purple polka dots?

Why are you asking here ? Why not just give them a call!

D.I.Y. Without a permit!
That said, stipes guttering is reasonably priced.
Any mishap on a ladder by you doing it is worth thousands of dollars.
I have used Stipes on two houses and am a retired firefighter.
Best of luck!

Go to Community Standards in Lake Sumter. Get your answer from the horses mouth. They are located in Lake Sumter. Go to the passage way by Starbucks, you will see an entrance, go upstairs to where they are located. I myself had a question about can I or can't I and they were helpful and extremely polite and friendly. They gave me an answer I didn't want to hear but it was the correct answer.

Thank you, had no idea what he was talking about or installing. Now that you said they are gutters I understand.

Not true, our lanai and bird cage are dark bronze, oversized gutters match. Our house has white, both done when house was built.

I live in a CYV and my neighbors drains flood my yard. I will probably have to have a French drain installed eventually...

I don’t understand why people hesitate to call ARC. They don’t bite, are easy to talk to. You can ask about County permit requirements, if any. They really are there to keep people from making bad decisions that will adversely affect your home or your neighbors home. Call them and get the FACTS not opinions.
