I have no sympathy for people trying to evade deed compliance. It is one of the main reasons many of us bought here..

The outdoor sign is a Villages Realty sign not Re Max or some other realty company that maybe would not know. Of all those that should know better The Villages Realty should be right at the top.

If for sale by owners are not allowed a yard sign then why would The Villages Realtors be allowed to place a yard sign? Personally I think at least one yard sign on for sale home should be allowed but if an individual has to abide by the rules then Villages Realty should as well.

Community watch goes by it every time they go up Pinellas, as a previous poster said it is a cop out to say a neighbor has to report it before it would be addressed. A violation is a violation.

The complainer should be required to provide their name after the first complaint, if the situation is not resolved. A constant complainer is no better than a busybody. I live in Buttonwood & no one's property offends me. We go for a golf cart ride throughout the neighborhood often. All homes are well kept in my opinion. It is a beautiful neighborhood. A few homes may have a couple of weeds, but I presume they are seasonal owners & will take care of it when they return. All still looks nice to me. If a person's immediate neighbors complain, and I mean more than one, than there is an issue which should be addressed. Besides, how does one define a "bad" lawn? All is subjective. I am confident that the OP will remove or fill the offending empty pot. If that is all someone has to complain about, I feel badly for them.
Well said.
Almost everyone likes their neighborhood to be well kept. That is no the OP 's issue. Everyone also has times when an empty flowerpot or something similar or an issue and in process of treating their lawn etc. a busybody creates havoc not help. Glaring problems need addressing not minor slights.

Community Watch NO LONGER reports non compliant issues. And hasn't for years.

I thought this thread started last night, 7/17/15. I know Buttonwood has had this problem with someone reporting multiple complaints before.

Community Watch should surely note and report deed restriction violations being committed by The Villages itself.

So why did Villages Realty place a yard sign in an area where they are not allowed in the first place, which will require someone to have to call in a complaint or do they just feel entitled to ignore deed restrictions?

Not the first time I have seen this from The Villages Realty.

It did start last night. I posted a link to a thread from 2007 to show some newer folks that people have discussed this for years.


AND I DO get huffy. Deed restrictions are important in keeping communities nice and protecting all of our property values.


We can't just comply with JUST the things we agree with because everyone seems to think they have superior taste.


Most of us try to familiarize ourselves with the deed restrictions in our area. Anyone can report an infringement. It doesn't have to be a close neighbor. IF it is against the rules they will fine you if you don't comply.


Basically south of 466 we are NOT allowed to have anything in the yard such as pots and statues and windmills and trellises etc. We can put them under the eaves.

If someone gets a letter about a violation (like a lawn ornament), what happens? What if the home owner decides to ignore the letter? Is there any action taken against the home owner. If there is - what happens?

One of my former neighbors had a serious issue with a gentleman who moved in next to her. He didn't like that "her shrubs" were on her property. These were patio villa's so he was correct but didn't understand how this worked he wanted to remove everything. If one branch touched his house he would call The Villages and they would send a warning. Once they sent a man to check things no branches were touching at the time but he sided with the complainer. My friend was in the hospital when he reported her again and The Villages threaten a $250.00 fine. The only thing she could do was to remove all the shrubs at her expense.

Some other neighbors went to try and talk to this guy but he wouldn't listen.

I understand deed compliance but this was just a p***ed off guy forcing his will.

Remember-You signed a paper agreeing to keep you place looking nice. If you don't and no one complains, we will become a "Tobacco Road" area probably like what you came from. We police our own- keep it cleaned up and no one can complain.

You probably won't be very popular at neighborhood parties.

The 30 complaints were for Buttonwood and surrounding area.

If there is something wrong. I would take care of it.
The reason the anonymous phone line makes sense is there are people here that would retaliate. Intimidation causes people to behave differently. I believe most people that haven't read their deed restrictions are fine with Community Standards since they want their community to have standards. If I'm out of compliance I don't care who called it in and I will correct the issues.....no good reason to know who.
