My understanding of your question is that if you already own a home that's already built, are you limited on your choice of contractors. The answer is NO. You can choose anyone you would like, as long as they are licensed (if the work being performed requires one).

This has been discussed many times. Do a search to get additional information.

And yes, 19yo's can be permanent residents.

This link will show that not all Villages have the same covenants/restrictions.

They probably have under 19 living with them.

In a 55 and over community like The Villages, just 80% of residents need to be over age 55. So 20% can be age 19 - 54. It is monitored via your ID card.

And where can I find this ? that’s right it’s just guess.

HOPA states that the
minimum standard to obtain housing for
persons who are 55 years of age or older
status is that ‘‘at least 80%’’ of the
occupied units be occupied by persons
55 years or older. There is no
requirement that the remaining 20% of
the occupied units be occupied by
persons under the age of 55, nor is there
a requirement that those units be used
only for persons where at least one
member of the household is 55 years of
age or older. Communities may decline
to permit any persons under the age of
55, may require that 100% of the units
have at least one occupant who is 55
years of age or older, may permit up to
20% of the occupied units to be
occupied by persons who are younger
than 55 years of age, or set whatever
requirements they wish, as long as ‘‘at
least 80%’’ of the occupied units are
occupied by one person 55 years of age
or older, and so long as such
requirements are not inconsistent with
the overall intent to be housing for older
persons.
The final regulation retains the
provision that a unit occupied by a
person or persons as a reasonable
accommodation to the disability of an
occupant need not be counted in
meeting the 80% requirements. This
provision ensures that a community or
facility seeking to authorize the
reasonable accommodation for a
resident who, because of a disability,
requires an attendant, including family
members under the age of 18, residing
in a unit in order for that person to
benefit from the housing will not have
its exemption adversely affected by
permitting the accommodation. The
authority for this provision arises under
the Act’s requirement that reasonable
accommodations be provided to persons
with disabilities.
Although occupancy by a person
under the age of 55 who inherits a unit
or a surviving spouse who is younger
than 55 years of age are the original
examples cited by Congress in justifying
the original 80/20 split, HUD does not
consider these to be the only
appropriate uses of the flexibility
provided by the up to 20% allowed by
the exemption, nor are protections for
those groups required. HUD believes
that the appropriate use of the 20%, if
any, is at the discretion of the
community or facility and does not
intend to impose more specific
requirements in this area. For example,
a community could allow some
percentage of its units, up to 20%, to be
made available to persons over the age
of 50, and, as long as the overall intent

So, no mention of under 19, so what is says is this in NOT retirement community. School busses stop few location’s right of the bubble line. They lied to all of use when they said no under age of 19 can live, cause they are.

That cause they have 3 exclusive villages (area) where children are allowed.

NO. Absolutely NOT. You can use any contractor you want to use. The 19 or under restriction is part of the rules from HUD governing senior living developments. See here; HUD Laws on Senior Living Communities | Home Guides | SF Gate

Find out first what CDD you live in to get a copy of deed restrictions. They are a different set of rules you sign when you buy here and they are not from HUD. CDD's are numbered one through 13 now I think. Here is a map; VCDD Districts Map

When we bought our home in 2015, we did our due diligence and knew about this when we signed, as did most people. The system provides a supply of younger employees for the businesses.

We also looked into the deed restrictions. Although we don't necessarily agree with all of them, we understand the reasons and will comply. The benefits far, FAR! outweigh the minor inconveniences.

We bought here to enjoy the rest of our lives, not to nit pick the little stuff. So far, we have succeeded!

Nobody lied or tried to hide the schools from us.

You can call the villages community standards and inquire about it and do report them as there are very strict rules on that here! 352-751-3912
