I wonder if it makes a difference whether the fence is between the house and Villages property vs. non-Villages property. My fence separates us from Morse Blvd. and was redone by TV. A neighbor installed a gate in the fence so he could access his yard more easily when walking. TV made him take it out. Maybe a fence the marks an outside boundary is the responsibility of the homeowner.

Just seems strange. It could wind up with some weirdly different stains depending on what was used.

LOL Thanks Gracie!!!! Right now I have a railing board wrapped up in duct tape, so at least it sort of looks correct.

You could be right Mikeod!! Behind my fence is a dirt road that goes to the cemetery, that is in Caroline Village. It looks like the people that mow that area, are people that belong to the church that apparently leads to cemetery. Its right by the radio tower in Caroline Village.

Try talking to your district rep.

Bogie, That was my initial start, by calling Rep. (He told me he thought it was my responsibility) He referred me to Property management, to whom I called, and they said the same thing. Maybe I need to check, or investigate the Deeds requirements.

I would suggest checking your deed requirements. When we were looking for our home, we were told if there was a wall behind us, it was up to us to maintain the wall. The villages would let you know what color paint should be used.

That is the wall that separates the villas from the houses. This is a fence not a wall. I am pretty sure that it is up to the Villages maintenance people to take care of the fences.

They should verify it 6 ways from Sunday before they do anything.

I have a wall and I called and was told I had to take care of it. I spent $300 to repair and paint it and then someone from the Villages showed up to repair and paint the entire wall from the beginning of the street to the end of the street. I called and found out from the third call that I made that for some reason it was in the deed restrictions that they would take care of our wall. I never got reimbursed the $300 even though it was THEM that told me I was responsible for the wall.

I let them repaint my wall anyway just to get my money's worth.

I think Z is right. You just haven't found the right department. The wall behind our property in Hadley was powerwashed twice a year.

We've been house hunting since December (finally found one - we close next week!) and we looked at a couple of homes that had the four board fence behind them. Our TV sales rep pulled up the listing info on her ipad and it said that the homeowner is responsible for the upkeep/repair of the fence. That may not be true of all properties with that type of fence, but was for the ones we looked at.
