Unfortunately you are correct. You can park your RV in the street as long as it does not impede first responders. A good friend checked it out with Sumter County sheriff’s office.

With one big exception " Courtyard Villas ".

Courtyard Villa roads are considered " Private " with public access permitted. In addition all Courtyard Villa roads are maintained by The Villages. They are Not considered County Roads.

The Police hands are tied unless the vehicle is somehow blocking emergency vehicle access.

With all due respect, The three day rule applies to your driveway not the street in Sumter county unless the parked vehicle impedes emergency vehicles. I thought differently too,

My solution would be to hit Craigslist and buy a piece of junk $200 car and park it in front of their house. Granted, it will cost you a bit with the purchase and you'd have to license and insure it, but I've always been a "Cut off your nose to spite your face" type person if I'm right. I'm serious when I say I would do that. I once spent $300 to buy these very loud speakers to blast out a neighbor who wouldn't stop with the noise.

I am sure there are rules and he either has a permit to do so or doesn’t.

If no permit and he is belligerent then politely ask excuse yourself and go to one of the visitor centers and ask to whom you should speak

This is just a common way to treat people. Did you really need to post this? Motor home? Junk car? Trash? Too many cars!!
It is all the same.
You have been a visitor or renter? Where are you getting this information??
Advising people to go to a visitor center does not make any sense. BTW did you mean sales center? Please advise......

Post the code/law/whatever so that your statement can be proved.

Look it is pretty simple on the 3rd day at the 71st hour the owner leaves the parking spot and parks for a 3-4 hours somewhere maybe more or less.

Then returns to that very same spot and the clock starts all over again. A complaint call gets noted the Villages has a responsibility to respond within 72 hours.

Honestly do I really have to explain this in detail for you to understand.

The rules simply put are not enforced period !

Rule breakers know exactly what is going on.

Remember last summer Wildwood passed parking restrictions, don't know where the RV is located but if it's in Wildwood, call them.

I remember a couple of years back that a man with an RV was doing just that. He was parking his RV in his friend's driveway every fourth night. Several neighbors filed a complaint. Long story short, it turns out that the three day limit is a courtesy that can be taken away by the Board of Supervisors. This guy was given a 24hrs to remove his RV and would be fined if it came back. He move it.

I remember reading the story in the "so called news" site. One of the supervisor's was quoted in the story saying "You are working the system. I wouldn't want you for a neighbor."

Owners of trucks will know what this means. It refers to cargo capacity.
The statement does not refer to cars. You did.
