We received a copy of the Covenant's yesterday. It states you can't have lawn ornaments. It goes further addressing hoidays and time limits and we still have a qustion. Are the small solar lights that go into the ground prohibited in the rear of the property? Is this classified as an ornament or lighting? We ae purchasing a Villa and the covenant's don't appear to distiguish between a house with no fence and a Villa with a fence.
Thanks! |

I see the solar lights on a lot of houses front and rear. I don't think they are probably OK but as Bogie Shooter wrote check with Community Standards.

Just look at most houses around, even though it's not allowed most have some type of lawn ornament (birds, whirry gigs, frogs, planters, iron hooks for bird cages, etc.) in their front or back yard. I think it all comes down to what your neighbors will tolerate, if no one makes a fuss, folks do what they want within reason. If you go by the rules I'm guessing solar lights are not allowed in the rear, but like Bogie said, check with Community Standards if you want to go by the rules.

The lawn ornament restrictions were in place before construction was started in Sumter County. And are still in place in Marion County.

Holiday decorations are an interesting subject. The rules state that holiday decor may be up a total of 30 days. so, if you decorate for christmas on november 10, you have to have them removed by december 10. this year one of my neighbors put his up on the 15th november; when called on it on november 16th by the deed compliance group he refused to remove them, and nothing was done about it. no fines, no nasty letters, no nothing. obviously they were not removed at the 30 day point (december 15) and remained up past January 1. why do we have non-enforced restrictions?

I think that they are allowed to be up 30 days AFTER Christmas. I cannot imagine ANYONE being so unkind as to call someone on Christmas decorations. I have never lived anywhere like that. I think being up from November 16th to January 16th doesn't seem all that out of line. That happened all of the time in all of the places I have lived in my 74 years. November 16th may be a little early, but .... Travelguy? Did it annoy you?

In MHO the Christmas season starts when Santa rides down 34th St in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Decorations go up the day after Thanksgiving.
But I digress...travelguy, it's not a problem unless you make it a problem. Or if someone makes it a problem for you. |
