EVERY resident of The Villages has a deeded beneficial interest in everything about The Villages. EVERY owner in The Villages, is subject to a Declarations of Covenants and Deed Restrictions. You have a Fee Simple ownership interest in your land, subject to EVERYTHING recorded against that property, well before you bought it.

When you buy property, what you are actually buying is a "bundle of rights". The "rights" you buy, are ONLY the rights you're sold. When you buy in The Villages, you do NOT buy an unlimited right to control, decorate, change or modify your land or home. You didn't buy that right, because The Villages is unwilling to sell that right.

On the other hand, when you buy property in The Villages, you are essentially buying the right to have a say in what your neighbors do with their property, usually exercised through the District Compliance Office and the Architectural Review Board.

Before people throw around the ... "it's my house and I'll do what I want and it's no one else's business" ... they should read their Deed and understand what their own and don't own.

My deed restriction document addresses "structural alterations", "exterior repainting", and "additions" that need ARC approval before proceeding with them. It says nothing about lighting. To be clear, I personally discuss the under eave lighting issue with the Deed Compliance Office, which is part of the ARC review process. They told me that I do NOT need to submit an ARC approval application to install lights under the eaves of my house. It is NOT a deed compliance issue.

Why do some posters keep saying this is a deed compliance issue? I would suggest that they discuss this topic with the office who officially interprets the deed restriction rules, and post what they found out. I have done this and they told me that they have decided that it is not a deed restriction violation.

I agree, and the Deed Compliance Office has already reviewed this issue and made an interpretation. You can install lights under the eaves of your house without ARC approval, and it is NOT a deed restriction violation.
