ARTICLE IX. PARKING RESTRICTIONS
No Owner of a Homesite shall park, store, or keep any vehicle except wholly within his driveway or garage.

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?
But I need to park my aircraft there, I don’t want to have to drive to an airport.

What is your freakin problem? If these posts bother you then don't read them.

As I stated before, on narrow streets it makes it more difficult for accessing the neighbors driveway especially at night. And quite frankly it is an eyesore when you have several homes do it. Much more than some lawn ornament or sign in a yard.

Just to be clear, I am not bothered about temporary parking or the occasional overnight guest. Usually it is long-term renters with 4x4s or three or more cars.

It can't. And, the provisions only apply to the owner of the homesite. So, it doesn't even apply to a long term renter.

You make a good point. So if someone wanted to park their vehicle long term, they can just park it anywhere in The Villages and there is nothing anyone can do about it.

Is that right?

Though the original poster asked about villa-area parking, I appreciate hearing about parking restrictions in other areas of The Villages.

Not sure if the OP was talking about CY or Patio villas but they may have the same rules with regard to parking. My comments are in reference to Patio Villas.

Maybe parking restrictions are one of those rules that are never enforced since no one has posted otherwise.

I live in a villa and there is visitor parking on the very last street. Those spaces have become the place for those with 2 cars to park theirs, leaving no where for visitors to park. We believed that the pool area was the place to allow visitors to park. Not so. There were two incidents where visitors were given notices stating that they couldn’t park there. These cars were not parked closest to the pool but on the distant side. They were told to call Mulberry Rec Center and informed that they should park visitor cars at Mulberry Recreation! We are over a mile from the center! Obviously not a helpful solution.

It’s a VERY big deal for emergency and service vehicle access. Just be considerate and park in your own driveway or garage, and have guests do the same or make other parking arrangements. This is TV, not the country or a home on acreage.
Those bragging about parking 3 cars on the street and jet skies/RV’s for weeks at a time says more about them than the neighbor that complained.

The best advice already given is calling community service, or the non emergency number for the police, or reading your deed restrictions.

That is most interesting. This is the restriction for my neighborhood>

Section 21. Temporary parking depicted on the Plato f the Subdivision, if any, is not for Owner's use but is for the use of Owner's invitees or guests.

The Villages has a great record for planning things out. But, when it comes to the Fenney Putt & Play parking situation they really screwed up. They should have not built a home on that one corner lot. That could have easily held 15 parking spots for those people who drove their cars to enjoy this ammenity.

It was ONE week (as stated in the post) and there was a valid reason why nothing could be on my driveway during that time (as stated in the post).
Reading comprehension is your friend.

Based on the deed restrictions I would say neither. But if you are the last house and are not impeding access to traffic or another driveway, then who is going to register a complaint?

Enforcement is another issue altogether. Looks like no one can provide you with an example where unauthorized prolonged street parking has ever been resolved by contacting The Villages or a law enforcement agency.

If the problem persists I would print out a copy of your deed restrictions and highlight the appropriate sections. Then call

Community Standards
Phone: 352-751-3912
Fax: 352-751-6707
Email Deed Compliance

Then if you would be so kind, let us know if any action was taken.

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.
A repeating issue on so many threads. People who do not consider the rights of others. No matter what the thread is it is the same posters.

It’s not over. They could buy that corner home from the owner $$ and demolish it
and put 15 parking spots in there

My neighbor and I are dreading the rental unit across the street and the junky looking cars that it could possible bring. Other homes like designer, you aren't allow to park on the street. I guess depending on village and circumstances. I called Sumter county and that is my source for patio villa parking. No restrictions. Designer homes - some friends say in their area of tamarind grove, culdesacs are off limits to parking on streets.
Who determines "junky car" status? When is a yet-to-be restored car a valuable classic or an "eyesore? isn't it more like beauty - is in the eye of the beholder?
