Of course as I mentioned earlier, if you paint your villa as I did last year after 9 years, the mural will be painted over. If the home was for sale, I would look in the description to see if the neighbor had given prior approval.

IMO If it sells all agreements are off beings it’s dead restriction.

I would suggest you reread the deed restriction where it refers to a one foot distance. In my deed restriction document, the only reference to a one foot distance is regarding constructing something near the property line, which is about 5 feet from the neighbor's house. In the easement area, where you have plants, you just need to keep the plants from touching the neighbor's house, but not a foot away. I had to read this section about five times before it made sense as to what the one foot distance really means. It refers to the property line, not the house wall.

LSL = Lake Sumter Landing

BW = Brownwood

TOTV = Talk of the Villages

MVP is a gym at BW and SS, it's not an abbreviation, that's their name

Can anyone else think of any others that are used everyday on TOTV?


Here are two common errors that happens almost every week on TOTV.

The main north south road is Morse (named after the developer) not Morris

The lake next to the second square is Lake Sumter, it's not Sumpter

To me, the most irritating error is when someone refers to Fenney and means everything south of Rt 44. Fenney is only one village of about 10 villages located in that area.

I don't think I understood this correctly. I have seen pictures of walls painted but I have always thought they were the interior wall of the back privacy wall.

Come-on GG you know what he means, You can paint anything you like on your side of the wall

It is definitely the wall of the neighboring villa, another photo shows the rear wall.

Look at the PDF in post number 26. If I have to maintain it it’s mine. I cannot do anything that will damage the wall on my neighbors side but on my side it is my responsibility to paint and maintain it.

Of course I've read the deed restrictions, before I purchased the property. Common sense told me I would need the neighbor's permission before I painted on her house. And yes, I know where to go to get the final ruling. I was only asking if there was a practice of allowing your neighbor to decorate an otherwise blank wall. Given the tone of some of the responses, I'm just going to go ahead and say nah. Thanks for your time.

Hold on. You are NOT responsible for maintaining your neighbor's house.

Look at the PDF again. The arrows are labels are indicating the privacy walls, fences, and gates, not the neighboring house.

This is why you are required to grant your neighbor access to your side yard. So that he can maintain that side of his house.

You cannot paint your neighbor's exterior wall without their permission. It would violate the deed restrictions.

Each homeowner owns all the walls of their home. Not the neighbors home walls.

I was not referring to my neighbors house. I was referring to the walls only.

I would think painting it with their permission MAY be a violation of deed restrictions.

I’ve got one to sell.. check classified... never saw any with murals.. not here anyway...

According to our deed restrictions the wall color can not be changed. No murals.
