I have seen complaints about car setting for years in different areas with expired license plates in the Villages is not doing anything about it.. these plates obviously are current.
We have also considered parking his car on the street at Lake Sumter, Spanish Springs, or Brownwood, all of these are public streets, and there is no restricted parking signs that I can find.
I have also considered going down to Brownwood and parking it in the hospital parking lot.
I do not know if there are any restrictions about any of these areas, however, there is a difference between restrictions and the enforcement of those restrictions. I’m just looking for ideas.
We had a car parked at our local mailbox area for almost 9 months and then was moved, I realize these are private property, but does the villages really enforce anything along this line?

I think the signs that say "No Resident Parking" are misleading, (tho they aren't in your area, for some reason.) It seems they should say "guest parking", if anything. I asked several people before finding one who knew no Resident parking meant. I see visitors park in front of the house if who they're visiting short time. Hours. No one walks from the area mentioned above. Neighbors don't seem to mind. If residents need overflow parking, it may be appropriate to use the unused "No Resident Parking" areas, so they don't have to park on the street or on their lawn. My thoughts.

You said “ and it does not work out with a visitor parking his car at our villa”…why not, is it because you don’t want to be inconvenienced? If your vehicles are already in the garage, then there is plenty of room in your drive for their vehicle. If not, why..,garage too full, too many vehicles, etc.?
