Who enforces the rules
It is to my understanding that one is only allowed 2 pets per household...Well on my visit this week I found many homes with 3 and 4 dogs and one home with 5 cats...We went to the Adult pool to find young people there (in there 20's maybe) every night...We went to the family pool and there were people that drove in that where not living in TV,s. I saw yards overgrown, apparently snowbirds went back north...My question is who enforces the rules there...

You already know more about what's going on in TV than I know. I'm surprised you can't answer your own questions.

Oh, here we go again. The nasty comments if someone happens to find something imperfect about The Villages.
I have never seen households with 5 cats, but a couple who lived behind us had 2 dogs and one cat, so I'm sure there are people breaking the rules. I imagine if it is a problem for a neighbor, someone will call The Villages Watch and complain. Ditto for overgrown yards, etc., which we all see when we're riding around. I don't want to see outsiders using our facilties, and I do hope someone calls and lets people know. I believe the Recreation Department would be responsible for overseeing that particular rule. |

I do agree that rules enforcement is a little lax here in TV, especially as pertains to deed restrictions and use of our facilities like pools. First line of defense is supposed to be your neighbors - they report (suspected) violations to Community Watch. Community Watch is also the one to call if unauthorized people are seen using our facilities. The bad part is that Community Watch has no police powers. They can issue "warning tickets" which is about as useful as a giving them a napkin. After so many warnings for, say, not cutting your yard, it will go before a board, the Amenity Authority Board, and you may be fined. That works primarily for deed restriction violations - not at the pools. At the pools and rec centers, Community Watch is supposed to check ID cards, ask those without to leave, and if they don't, call the local law (depending on location in TV) for a trespasser. Never seen or heard of it going that far. Way too often Community Watch verbally warns them and moves on - allowing the offenders to continue to violate the rules. Community Watch personnel need some discretion is how much authority to use but they are continually way too lax in enforcement.
TV is good, even great, but it is not perfect. 80K plus people (at peak times) so we will have our fair share of rotten apples. I think we just need to be more aggressive in throwing out those rotten apples or bringing them under control or fining them. |

Well you asked for an answer truckin'. So here is mine.
If a person is caught in any pool without a pass they are deported. If a person has more than three animals they can keep them until they go across the Rainbow Bridge. BUT after that they are supposed to have only two. If a yard is overgrown, after a certain amount of time, it is tended to by the developer and the bill is sent to the owner. P.S. I am not sure about the first one. There is a lot of controversy about deportation and it hasn't been resolved nationally.

I do know of people with more than two pets.
Some of the people I talk to regularly picked up a few more pets after moving to the Villages. A son or daughter gets a new job and they are happy to have an addition to their Villages' family. And some people have a hard time not adding a companion dog to their dog even though they already have a cat or two or maybe even three.
It seems to depend on how well these people get along with their neighbors. Keeping their neighbors happy by not turning them in is something they have to work on daily. There are some neighborhoods in the Villages too where the majority of the homeowners seem to be snowbirds. That probably cuts down on the possibility of complaints from neighbors if many of them are somewhere else during the hottest months in TV. Last edited by Taltarzac725; 08-02-2010 at 08:11 AM. |

According to the TV rules, pets can be "grandfathered" when first moving into TV, but after they pass on they can not be replaced.

I have to say that from my experiences the rules are enforced. I know of persons who had unintentionally violated deed restrictions regarding things in their yard and on their house that they had to correct ... and they had no problem correcting them.
I have witnessed others and have personally been "carded" at several facilites. I have been "warned" about not riding in a golf card that I was walking next to on the golf course because I was not playing golf because my arm was injured and I was just visiting. I have been "warned" that there was a pickle ball court time "limit" even before we started playing. Most times they were friendly and accurate. I guess my point is there needs to be reasonable enforcement and thats my opinion of what happens in TV. There can be too many rules however. |
