We tried & Villages said no so we put a shed in our lani & it is great. Call the Villages Deed Compliance, good luck.

I know some sheds require a foundation. If youre thinking about a small Rubbermaid one, I can't see the problem, but would check before spending the money, especially if you have to put a foundation.

My suggestion is to get the true answer by calling the Villages offices and not rely on what others say. This is a technical issue you’re dealing with.

Article V Section 8 states...."No outbuilding, tent, shack, garage, trailer, shed, utility building or temporary building of any kind shall be erected, except temporarily only for construction purposes." I think the answer in this case would be absolutely NOT! The responses to your question by some others on this forum are all over the board from an absolute Yes to "deed restriction effectively will not matter unless someone complains". I certainly would not spend the time and effort to buy and install a shed only to be told that it must be removed. Do the smart thing and read your deed restrictions or call Community Standards if you do not have a copy. They will guide you through the process. Even if sheds are allowed on your particular property you must still submit an application to the Architectural Review Committee for approval. Be aware that your property has certain easements along the front, side and rear lot lines where you are not allowed to place any type of structure. Many of these areas are drainage and utility easements and installing a shed could possibly cause problems down the road for you are your neighbor. Abide by the deed restrictions and stay safe. |

Common sense is a super power in 2020.
Yes effectively in this case where you can't see a shed deed restrictions do not matter Is the SWAT team going to execute a search warrant because a drone picked up your below the fence shed, no. So can you put up a below the fence shed at a CYV almost certainly without being 'caught', will it blow away, almost certainly no. Let's discuss something that is less of a hot button but quite similar, garbage cans outside your house. Against the deed restrictions in most areas. I know of two in Pinellas. One has his cans next to his home where they are visible from the street. Another is my buddies, he has a landscape wall for a grill. He uses it for his garbage can. Because of the orientation of his home you can't see it. Is anyone going to lodge a complaint for it no. Last edited by Toymeister; 07-12-2020 at 05:13 PM. |

In our district, we can have a shed, BUT it HAS to be attached to the house.

Many people seem to have the attitude that "it's my property and I can do whatever I want with it". These are also the first ones to complain when they are notified of a violation and even then all they can complain about is the unfairness of the anonymous complaint system. The deed restrictions are designed to protect property values for everyone. Everyone has taste....some good, some bad. Learn to live with the rules you agreed to when you signed your deed. The attitude that if you cannot see something it is certainly OK to do it is absurd! Hopefully most Villagers will realize this and read the deed restrictions before making such off the wall assertions please. |

CYVs have concrete walls separation in back and drain in backyards with easements off the wall. Very few properties after years are in Total compliance Due to several owners have induced something. IMO before any house is sold in deed restricted community a compliance inspect should be done so the new owners not stuck with out of compliance discrepancies previous owners have done. |

I have seen many applications submitted to the ARC wherein the property owner states that the conditions were "existing when we bought the property". Unfortunately if it is a rules violation it does not matter when the work was done, who authorized it or how long it has been there. |

If it can’t be seen from your gate there is nothing community standards can do about, they can’t enforce what they can’t see.

Until you get into an argument with a neighbor who turns you in.
