I have read it here several times that a French drain costs about $125 and tons of young men who can put it in.


Sounds like there is more clay south of 466A.

By the way, if it's not a "permitted development", it's an illegal development. So of course flooding occurs in permitted developments. That's where construction practices, engineering, and...yes...due diligence come into play.

"But there's no "perhaps" about it...they either control the water or they don't develop the property."

Your words, not mine.

Yes...and I stand behind them. Their design must control the water. If it's not constructed to do so, then they are in violation and it must be fixed.

Yes indeed, Gracie. At least, that's what IFAS says. All the sand we have up here turns to clay right around Brownwood.

We are having some issues on the side of our house sod seems to stay soggy all the time. We are having the sprinkler system checked. That's not our issue. We'll wait and see if we need to put in gutters and a French drain when we come down. It's a preowned apparently the original owner had it looked at more than once but apparently didn't get it taken care of. When we bought the home the sprinkling system had not been on for quite a while so lawn was completely dry. But since it's just one side of her house I'm not as concerned.

"If it's not constructed to do so, then they are in violation and it must be fixed."

So how did they get a permit if they didn't control the water?

I already answered that. They show control of the water in their design and they get their permit. If their project fails after construction, that's another issue altogether...and it must be fixed or they are in violation of their permit.

Control of the water is demonstrated in the design phase. That's the way engineering and development works. That's the control I was referring to. You want to continue your argument with parsing and semantics, knock yourself out.

How do I actually hire a realtor and a MLS agent? Will be looking to buy next month and only have a villages realtor so far.

If you are looking for a new home, the TV realtors are the only choice you have. On a resale, both TV and MLS realtors are options.
