Thank you twoplanekid: I would not intentionally use any service provider who was working out of his home while living in TV.

This lifstyle we paid premium for was in part because of the covenants agreed upon. This lifestyle like democracy is fragile and if we have violations that are not dealt with well then mores tress are cut down and more signs go up.

These violations will continue and grow as our population grows. It will be exacerbated by the growth in adjacent communities as they grow because there is a sharing both in and around TV for services, businesses, town squares.

There are other violations occurring that affect our quality of life and if our government does not act the lifestyle we thought we bought will be greatly compromised.

I, for one , would report such a violation , if I were nade aware of it.

Anyone who would encourage you to move here under such circumstances is really not serving your best interest.

Your comment is somewhat abrasive. It's obvious that the OP was not aware that his wife doing this was a problem, and was asking for help. Frankly, you stated that it is not allowed for a very good reason. I can't think of one reason it would be a problem.

And if you were aware of it you would report it? Why, if it didn't affect you. I'm glad I'm not your neighbor.

Abrasive? Really? Can't think of a reason why it would be a problem?

I could list a number of reasons but the NUMBER ONE reason is that is isn't ALLOWED! What part of NIMN is difficult to grasp?

Zoning regulations come into play. At least back where I came from the rules were the same. No business that had clients come to the home or that maintained an inventory or had heavy duty equipment (not a pickup truck)--along with a few other things--were not allowed. It's the exact same thing here. It's not allowed. I don't know if it's The Villages, or the counties. it doesn't matter.

Besides, I wouldn't want to **** off my neighbors by having a constant stream of people driving to my home. I also wouldn't want that many strangers knowing where I live and what I have. I'm just not that trusting.

I can think of more reasons why it's not allowed, but those are just a few.

Parking would be the main issue

But, if you cut hair, maybe 10 a month....no advertising....word of mouth...who would ever know.....now if you schedule 5 a day, everyday....and advertise.....it would be pretty obvious....

Not meant to be abrasive, but to send a clear message that it is an unacceptable practice. It is not a friendly act to allow one to buy a home and be disappointed or financually strapped because they relied on equivocating post of people trying to be friendly. If you read the OP message , that shortly followed my post ,you will see that he got the mesage and can now make a well informed decision. Our neighborhood is very friendly and full of people who believe in strict enforcement of the the " Rules"

Everyone signed on the Covenants when they moved to The Villages. In-home businesses were part of those restrictions. The "problem" is that an in-home business is against the rules you agreed to obey!

Yes, I would report an in-home business just as I would report a grandchild living full time in The Villages. Rules were agreed upon so live up to them or pay the price.

Serious question: What if the grandchild was providing caregiver functions?

What are caregiver functions?

If the grandchild was under 19, that is very doubtful as they would be in school from 9-3 five days a week during the school year. I cannot really see a teenager being the caretaker of grandparents. Over 18, no problem but, in my opinion, not realistic.

However, the answer would be the same if under 19. It is against the Covenants and is not allowed.

Yes, you could do it if you went to their homes.

Of course, you would have to obtain a small business license from the county AND pay taxes on the sales and income.

You could try and dodge the license and taxes but, in all liklihood, someone will "drop a dime" on you and you may get hit with stiff fines and penalties.

I agree. It's important when considering to buy in the TV to be aware of all issues and concerns prior to purchase. In my home town, regulations were clear regarding streets (Blvd vs street, avenue vs Blvd) that permitted commercial businesses to practice. Commercial constituted both big box stores and malls, as well as, small home based businesses. With all due respect, if you are depending upon that revenue to offset the living costs, you might want to reconsider your purchase. It's a reality that covenants serve a purpose and all it takes is "someone to drop a dime". I personally have no issue with home based businesses, however my opinion, is not worth a hill of beans! lol... In fact I have been attempting to find a hairdresser that will come to my home to wash and style my mom's hair (She's 87.) and I haven't found a hairdresser yet. Perhaps my continued inquiry tells you that these businesses are strictly regulated and/or "reported" more than we know

To operate a home based salon in the State of Florida it has to be approved by the State of Florida. To access your home salon you have to have a separate entrance, bathroom etc that is strictly used for salon business.
