I don't believe that Jesus would erect a religious symbol in his yard if he had bought in a neighborhood with a deed restriction prohibiting such décor.

Is that for real? Oh my goodness. I would have to move if my home faced the statue. Is that allowed.....even on the historic side?

If I need to sell my house, am I allowed to bury a statue of St. Joseph in my front yard ?

Yes, but only upside down, facing Bethlehem . And make sure his toes don't show. But most importantly, under your eaves.

I haven't seen that but I have seen a full sized cannon in somebody's yard in Santo Domingo and a yard decorated with plastic flowers in Santiago. Do you still wonder why the made the rules tougher as they learned ?

I for one have a small white cross in support of christianity with several other ornamental items. If strict inforcement says the cross should be removed then I believe all ornaments should be removed so all you see in the front yards is grass and plants. I would miss the variety of front yards.

The enforcement is complaint driven on a house by house basis. If someone files a complaint against your house then you will have to react. Complaints would need to be filed against all non-compliant houses in order to obtain your goal of the removal of all ornaments if you can't have a cross in your yard (because of a complaint against your house).

I am not sure, but I think that all ornamentation without approval from ARC are NOT allowed south of 466. I have always believed that there are fewer deed restrictions north of 466.

South of 466, you may have what can fit under the eaves of the house.

I don't think this has ANYTHING at all to do with religion and I do believe that most people who live here would not be against your faith at all.

I though the little white crosses are for departed pets.
I suggest that you remember when people buy a home in the villages from the original home owner. The new home owners don't sign any rules. After a while you will have no rules that can be inforced by the villages.

Wow, you really need a few lessons in real property law.
