Where are the deed restrictions published?

I'm sure many of the loudest of you would soon change your mind when your next door neighbor started to fix up junk cars.

We need a camera in the neighborhood vehicles to actually SEE what they do and if it is worth the costs to have them. More Police might be more cost effective.

The Historic side is eclectic. There are many aging trailers, multiple new home designs, pre-fab homes and older stick homes. The villages builder no longer builds; it’s not profitable. Cars, SUV’S, trucks with trailers, and large rv’s and golf carts are parked on front lawns. Paint colors are grand fathered in before 2014. Now you must use only 2 colors from the same color pallet from the color chart at Sumter.
So why isn’t there grandfathering in for driveways! And etc.
I would be fine to follow all the rules if the builder stayed and continued to be an example of uniformity resulting in deed compliance uniformity.
I have to remove several tasteful colors of trim off of my exterior home. There are so many homes out of compliance with their home colors. So, I have to report all the vehicles on lawns, all homes out of compliance, creating a no pay part time job for me to get everyone angry so change occurs. The builder can leave creating more diversity with new builders building new different homes and I can’t use several paint colors like Sumter and down south. No one polices the yard art of cars and etc on them. I will report back to community standards regarding every home on the historic out of compliance anonymously.
It should be the village builders setting a deed compliance example by not abandoning ship because of t not enough profit margin ... to further continuity they had replaced the old trailers with a village home to create the ultimate sameness in the neighborhood, now that will never happen!!!
Community standards should be checking every home for deed compliance fairly, then I wouldn’t be offended and I would agree amicably to change my paint colors. We the little guys have to obey changing rules set by the Morris whom
can change zoning with their high powered attorney’s anytime. ie .
6 apartments in Spanish springs to start and they said at a town meeting
No reserved parking requested for the apartment dwellers
Now they are getting about 17 parking spots
Can you see how money talks!!!!
We are known for STD’s and we are not the Friendliest HomeTown!
We are an illusion just like we are not a gated community..anyone can get in by pressing the red button!
In summary, only Morris ‘s are grandfathered in to break or bend rules. There style is threatening to sue like they did to the Lady Lake Board.
They are grandfathered in indirectly and they don’t Care about us! They probably are trying to sell since the next generation wasn’t schooled in real estate.

Doesn't your 4th item negate the need for the other 3? And, I think Item 1 already exists, and also, Item 2 to some extent. A good home inspector should cover these items. I think a Community Standards inspection is a good idea, but it is contrary to the current, complaint driven system, and would also be expensive.

It's perfectly clear cut to me. If it's not in compliance, regardless of when it happened, it has to be brought into compliance. If a Buyer is dumb enough not to check, shame on them.

First question in this series. Don't understand why some are against people who file a valid complaint against those who are violating deed restrictions! I totally agree with this point. There are no excuses as everyone is or should be aware of the deed restrictions in their area can and should be called out if they ignore them. The rules are the rules. If you don't like them then move. These are the same ones who when stopped by the police blame the policeman and are asserting they are the victim. The victim is really the cop who must listen to your mental unbalance reason as your violation was because of some issue when you were a child. There are no rewards for trying to beat the rules, only disgrace. :ho:
