We will definitely be taking it

I'm surprised some class action attorneys have come in here to take advantage of the arbitrary and inconsist actions much less enforcement 10+ years after the infraction occured.

The class is excellent. John Rohan spoke to the one I atteneded,. No reason these could not be online.

Very sorry my friend but the world has changed and unlikely there will be no danger to catch COVID or what ever new infectious disease that arrives behind it. So we need to adapt to this new world and the risk we are willing to accept,

I don’t think it two? I think is several in every district> :coolsmiley:

Eliminating anonymous complaint system is a very bad idea. The "complainer" is not like a witness in a criminal case, but rather a person who says to the controlling authority that there may be a violation , please investigate. The CDD then investigates and makes the determination . Our law system uses "anonymus tipsters all the time" and it is a legit process. Be careful what you wish for, you may get it,

It can still be anonymous with village ID number. That way you have to be villager and live in that district to file complaint. Takes the trolls out of it and make legit cause it’s villager and they live in that district. If they live in another district Or not card paying resident it’s none of there business IMO. Districts don’t have the same exact rules.

Without the anonymous tip system the process will flop. Some would find this to be ok. Not I. If there is no anonymous system then the CDD should have a process of at least quarterly neighborhood rounds to identify violations. I have been through this issue in two out neighborhoods and failure to enforce leads to a messy situation. Be careful what you ask for , you may get your wish.

The Villages makes the rules but they don't want to spend the money to enforce them. Didn't Community Watch use to report non-compliance? Why not go back to that, or institute it. They drive everywhere. How hard can it be to write down an address and compliance issue while still in their trucks?

So your biggest concern is not the homeowner who is VIOLATING the deed restrictions but rather the person making the report didn't do it timely? That makes no sense.

Another deterrent would to be to limit complaints to one at a time.

No money in it.

Yea, it's the secret Deep Villages Cabal. The ladies meet (by twos) every Sixth Friday of the month. :1rotfl: I don't doubt people (men and women with and without clipboards) are reporting infractions it's just The Villages Legend I find so funny.

Yes, it is when it involves hundreds or thousands of dollars. I'm not talking about a cross or a sign or whatever. I am talking the big dollars. If it is a violation upon completion, then why would it not be a violation during the process? Everyone on here keeps complaining about TV becoming so unfriendly these days; waiting until completion seems pretty unfriendly to me. So does a complaint 15 years after the fact. Sales agents, Community Watch, etc., passed by that particular corner for years, but it took 15 for it to become a violation and a problem? BTW, after rereading my covenants, there is a rule in there that says we (my district covenants) are to notify TV if we will be away from our home 7 or more days. Not doing so is a violation. Should that be reported?

I'm still trying to understand why it even matters knowing who, or where they live, of those reporting potential deed violations? Doesn't a Village's official have to look to determine if it's a violation, before any action can be taken? I get the feeling by reading some posts, that there are a number of people who would like to act on the old adage of "snitches get stitches." Or, at the very least, harass those who report potential violations. The answer, to me, is to read the deed restrictions in your area and just make sure you follow them.

Not anonymous does not have to mean the homeowner being complained about gets to know who complained. Once Deed Compliance determines there is a violation it is between them and the homeowner, period. However, Deed Compliance should know who is complaining in order to keep the system from being abused. There may be some rare cases that may involve legal action or other circumstances where the homeowner finds out, but as general rule they have no need to know.

I won't deny this since I do not know, but I did review 4 different districts covenants to see the language and cannot find this in ANY deed restrictions. Could you be so kind as to point out where to find this?

Sounds reasonable to me :bigbow:

If the process was being abused, wouldn't that have casued a change long ago? I'm still waiting for someone to explain how THEY ARE AFFECTED BY ANONYMOUS reporting if they themseves are NOT IN VIOLATION. Why do you care?

Absolutely. I sent my information to you in a PM.
