If the person running the golf car rental business is parking a bunch of golf cars in their driveway there must be a process that gets it shut down. They finally got the guy on Journey in the village of Sanibel to stop it. It only took about 5 years.

Definitely a lack of respect for your neighbors running that kind of business from your home in the villages.

Are we worried about a business bringing traffic to the neighborhood and/or with product on their driveway or in their garage?

Are we permitted to have a business that draws no traffic to our home - consultants, tech advisors, etc? Or a business that services customers at their home or business?
I have no problem with that.

I frankly don't want to live next door to a business that constantly had vehicles = be they car or golf carts - coming to their home on a regular basis.

Old neighborhood There was a house with 3 car garage and 6-9 cars parked in driveway sometimes in the road. The renter was running a private car service out of the home. Lease was for 6 months, not renewed because of multiple complaints to the owner.
Some cars were gone 15 plus hours a day, parking on narrow streets was a problem day or night. Washing vacuuming the cars almost daily
Thankfully the owner took care of the problem, stating had no idea a business was running out of the home.

Who would even know about the existence of this kind of business, let alone care?

Just wondering how this affects you.

Because all of the Villages are zoned short term. and for your second question about working from home also allowed as long as there is no walk in traffic or regular ups type trucks coming in every day. simple rules you can look up. Hope this helps

For a quick stop to this business if its as busy as you say and money and checks exchanged is just call your local IRS office and tell your story under the whistle blower disguise they will be on it in 1 day.

Why single out this guy? You have a high dollar business directly across the street from the pool. Those owners market online multiple properties for rent as "lifestylesvisits".

I don't want anyone repairing or storing golf carts on residential property - someone running a retail food operation or palm reading, anything that generates traffic & customer parking.

But what about someone with, say, a medical transcription or remote book keeping service that gets zero customers to the door? Would you have those banned?

Not all businesses are alike.

If this is all it takes for someone else to have a "bad day", there is professional help out there.

Where did the OP say he has addressed it with anyone at all? I asked that in post #6 but I don't see that there was any answer.

This is where reading comprehension comes in...

" nothing is being done by the Villages"...indicates the Villages has been notified and no action has been taken.

Does that help?

Less reading comprehension and more reading into what was written. Nothing in that sentence in any way indicates the OP has notified anyone. "nothing is being done by the Villages" is an observation, and may be an incorrect observation at that.

Home office type work? Who would know, or care, as long as zero impact to the neighbors. Authors, artists, can work anywhere and have zero impact on their surroundings.
