I'm applying for a mortgage and they want documentation showing that this is an over 55 community.

I can't find it in the District one covenants/restrictions.

Hope these links help! I hate mortgage company paperwork!!! Please note that on the 'directory' site for Sumter the Villages recorded addres is out-of-date since they do not renew until 9/15 - but is that a mortgage company need-to-know issue? lol

If ya need something more heavy duty than the above, perhaps the Registered Agent shown on this site can assist you:

Yes he or she can buy a home in the villages. They may or may not reside in it our house was bought by two people age 32 and 29

So, the obvious question to ask is "who maintains this list of homes with under 55 ownership"? I don't recall being asked if we were under 55 when we bought (although in our case it was obvious). Is there a list somewhere that tallies the number of individuals that are under 55 in each of the villages, and who would tell me that I couldn't sell my home if the interested buyers happened to be 54 or younger? I suspicious that like our gates which let anyone in if they push the button, that this 20% rule is just an illusion. What do you think ??????

Why don't you call the District Office for some guidance.

Jim, go to this web site, then on the left click on The VHA Vision.
