There are a couple of problems with this. First of all, who has the legal authority to require this?
Secondly, as an example, just because you received ARC approval for a landscaping plan doesn't mean that the actual installation is compliant with the restrictions. Nobody comes out and inspects the installation to verify compliance. Therefore, the seller really doesn't know if the property meets all restrictions. I guess you could "report" yourself for noncompliance and when Community Standards comes out to investigate you could create a paper trail showing you are compliant. This is one of the issues I see with the ARC: no checkup after installation. This is different than pulling a building permit and having a final inspection done to verify that the work was done correctly. |

Lots of ideas here on about making changes. How many will attend their monthly CDD board meeting and speak? That is how changes are actually made.

Most people just want to complain and not do the work necessary to get change. I might add that having a TV employee (actually it would be employees) looking for violations and following up with the paper work would be an enormous expense. We need to be careful what we wish for as we would pay the bill.

"Why should they?" Because it's the right thing to do! Jazuela is 100% correct! I know of NO ONE who was ever given any documents to read before signing a contract for the purchase of a home here, so they would know the "rules," i.e., what is permissible and what you can't do. You don't seem to get it. It has NOTHING to do with anyone having a problem selling a home here. And while many people find issues to complain about -- many more than just a few issues are warranted and some are not. |

Why is the realtor representing the sale of the home not responsible? They are receiving a commission on the sale. In my opinion, the realtor needs to verify deed compliance or not be selling.

How would a realtor verify deed compliance? Compliance is complaint driven; you need to file a complaint about a specific issue that you believe is non-compliant and that will trigger an investigation. I don't believe there is anyone you can call who will come out and give you a piece of paper that says the property is totally "deed compliant". In this regard, The Villages is different than another deed restricted community I lived in. In that community, compliance was monitored and enforced by an HOA. You could ask the HOA representative if a property was compliant.

Should people be told they are about to buy in the sinkhole belt? Should people sign that they are aware that this part of Florida is the lightning capital of the United States? Should they be directed to the fact that Florida falls near the bottom of the list for excellent health care? Should people be told that every week in The Villages that an average of four people die? I think all of these things are true, but it would be a rare realtor who would bring them up.

Hello, may have been a gap in the past, but when I put money down on a lot last month, I was supplied with all the applicable documents prior to signing the contract.

Likewise for use when we bought seven years ago.

None of your mentioned items are things a real estate agent would bring up unless it directly affected a specific property in which a buyer had an interest. BTW -- Marion, Lake and Sumter Counties are NOT in the "sinkhole belt." |

I believe section#10(k) would be the key to the landscaping issue as well as any other deed restriction issue in The Villages. Last edited by Wiserbud47; 07-14-2019 at 04:15 AM. |
