If I was going to report something it would have to be kind of a commonsense thing. Something that was obviously not right. I would like to know where I can get a copy of what my deed restrictions are? And I also understand that they’re different in different areas? Could it get any more confusing?

However, maybe someone who feels strongly should post their phone number and agree to be the designated complainer. Then every person who objects to the occasional purple house could call their complaint into the designated complainer who would turn the offending homeowner.

You received your deed restrictions when you purchased your home, given at closing. Like most of us the paperwork from closing was not read and is stored into a folder. Here is a link, you need your property ID which is on your Village ID card:

Village Community Development Districts

The reason they are different depending on your location is that they have changed over time, items added and likely some removed. They could not "backdate" your covenants but new CDD's have them incorporated. The historic side did not have as many restrictions.

If you don't agree then just don't violate the deed restrictions you agreed to when buying your house.

This isn't rocket science. There are people who don't like those who report them or others. They seem to feel it's their right even though they signed on the dotted line without coercion. They call people "troll's"...accuse them of being power hungry. The fact is they're in the wrong and don't like being called to account.

Perhaps moving to Seattle, LA, Detroit, DC or any other metropolitan area would be preferable.

I love it here and hope the "trolls" continue to act even if it means giving their name/address. If you have trouble with those that whine just give a call out. The common sense people will help you.

Thankful you do not live in my neighborhood. Why not treat neighbors with respect and consideration? You apparently need a hobby other than trolling.

Why can't TV and CDD enforce their laws?

I don't really care either way. However, you may find appointing yourself deed restriction police, which I don't recommend anyone do, has consequences. It's one thing to complain about something in your own neighborhood. It's quite another to go traversing around The Villages looking for them. Seriously, is your life that dull?

They're not laws. They are deed restrictions and we all agreed to follow them voluntarily. For all those who talk of being a good neighbor but choose not to comply with deed restrictions, you are the problem.

that aren’t even aware that they have a deed restriction violation on their property!
So they might not even know they are so terrible!
