I parked 2 cars and a jet ski on the street in front of my house for a week. Someone called com watch and they told them they could do nothing, not their property. So they called Sumter county, who again told them it is not against the law to park on the street. If the nosy idiot had just talked to me instead of complaining anonymously, he would have found that there was a perfectly good reason why nothing could be on my driveway and that is was a temporary situation. Now he's just stirred the pot and my other neighbors keep telling me I should park vehicles out there every day, just to be spiteful. I'm not going to because this guy is whacko and there's no telling what he would do to my vehicles.

In the courtyard villas, the deed restrictions state:

"No owner of a homesite shall park, store, or keep any vehicle except wholly within his driveway, garage or other non-visitor parking spaces."

Note that there are designated visitor spaces, and visitors are allowed to park on the courtyard villa streets, but the owners are not allowed to park anywhere off of their own property. The courtyard villa streets are not county roads.

In most all districts no boats, RV’s or 3/4 ton trucks or and larger can be parked permanently even in driveway, now it you can get it in garage yes. In my area the limit 3 days for RV for loading and unloading. I don’t think boats fall in that category? But, I don’t remember?

The OP clearly asked about streets in villas.

In villa neighborhoods where the street dead ends, are the dead end roads specifically for the owner who lives nearest them or for overflow or guest parking?

It sounds like the OP is living in Patio Villa neighborhood. It is rare but sometimes renters will park their pickup trucks in the street for weeks on end. The major issue is that the streets are narrower and it makes it more difficult for the neighbors across the street to access their driveway. This applies to the end of the street which is extended past the loop.

Unless there is an ordinance that I don't know of, the only solution is to park your own vehicle in the spot. No one can complain since you are only obstructing your driveway. Of course then they will park on the street somewhere else and it will become someone else's problem.

Patio Villas should have a time restriction on parking but they do not.

No truck in excess of3/4 ton, camper, boat, -trailer, or aircraft, or any vehicle other than a private non-commercial vehicle may be parked in a parking space except a boat may be kept in the garage with the garage door closed. No Owner of a Homesite shall repair or restore any motor vehicle, boat, trailer, aircraft, or other vehicle on any portion of any Homesite, or on dedicated or reserved areas, except for emergency repairs, and then only to the extent necessary to enable movement thereat to a proper repair facility.


Question is how can it be enforced?
