The pavers have to be laid in sand. If you had plans showing pavers over a cement pad, that might be your issue? Many homes in that area have exactly what you are referring to.
Deluna Villa... ARC said "NO concrete, no pavers, it would alter the STRUCTURE of a house." to fill the mud pit next to the garage.

Word of advice, within your one yr warranty move all the pine needles they throw down. Check your drainage!

You have 30 days to report grass/yard issues after closing on house. They will only fix drainage issues IF water stands for 48 hrs.

Your neighbors roof runoff will be your problem if they do not have gutters. Many people end up having to put in french drains for that reason.

Use your one year warranty carefully.

I am unable to find any rule stating this is not allowed. I was advised this is an unpublished rule that was decided upon by the Developer (will be published upon next update to rules). Sort of like having a speed limit but it is not posted. You only find the rule/law out when pulled over by an Officer.
When I asked for the name of the Developer I was advised "we are not allowed to give out that information".
Is there a special curtain to pull back in order to find out who the Developer/Wizard is?

I surely want to abide by all the ARC rules . . . just think they should be posted for all to know.
Welcome to the Twilight Zone.

They know everything…Drones are monitoring yard improvements and tubed skylights. follow the rules and be careful who you talk to. Loose lips sink ships. and dont ask questions I moved here because of the Rule enforcement

I was told yesterday by the CDD, Community Development District
Districtgov.org. 352 751 3912 that we are in a deed restricted community. We can only work within the perforated lines of our building site plan which should have been in our closing docs.

We cannot use edging or curbing around flower beds and any shrubs plantings must be submitted for approval.

I was astonished a bit. I thought we owned our little piece of heaven.


I dislike looking at my neighbors bare white vinyl siding and gas meter but I have no clue what to use to grow a vine of flowers.

So, I just do nothing which doesn't feel like 🏡.

You would benefit from attending a Resident's Academy to learn more about how your local govt. works.

You should also take a look at your deed restrictions. These should have been part of your closing package but you can also find them online at districtgov.org -> How Do I -> Download My Deed Restrictions. You will need to know your neighborhood's unit number which is on the front of your Villages ID card.

We do kind of sort of own our little piece of heaven but we are restricted as to what we can do with it.
