Just as a point of interest. Are your dogs St. Bernards or Miniature Poodles? Thank You Deputy Dog.

It's very easy for folks to tell you not to worry about it. Yes the rule on the historic side in most of the areas is one pet! I would highly suggest that you put it in writing to your sales representative and their manager so you get something back in writing that it is OK. Overall most people do not complain if the pets do not make a nuisance of themselves. But I would absolutely get it in writing. Good luck!

I don't agree. I have read this forum for almost ten years and not one time has anyone ever been challenged on the dog ownership thing. I am sure it is there to keep extreme abuse out, such as puppy mills and animal hoarding.

Most people are responsible dog owners and the folks who run this place seem dog friendly.

Someone could complain, and then you may have a problem. Get the facts ahead of closing.

I would not be happy with my sales agent. He/she "screwed up" and there is no other way to put it. If the Agent is relatively new, I could see how this could be missed because most Villages allow two dogs. However, you should not be in this position.

Options at this point are few. Given the situation you can probably get out of the contract and move on to another house. If you really want the house, then I would close and tackle the issue with an attorney should there be an unlikely attempt to enforce the deed restrictions.

If you have not already sat down and talked to your Sales Agent, I would do that immediately. He/she may want to bring the sales manager into the conversation. This should be done prior to closing. Good luck to you. The Villages is really a great place to live,

I live in the Historic District and I can tell you that there are plenty of people here with more than one dog. I see one guy, almost daily, who walks his three small dogs. We had neighbors before we moved that had two dogs.

Unless this is something new, I think that it must be a misprint.

I'd call your agent and ask about it.

Check the restrictions. Also, not to be critical, but,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, No sales agent is responsible for any erroneous verbal statement, none, Nada.
So, we have found out the hard way.

They just say it an ride away!!!!

It has already been verified that TV does not enforce this. It is considered something going on inside your home and they can't. There was a thread on this quite some time back, and I called and verified.

RE: closing package
If, that means you've gone through closing-signed all the papers etc-IT IS DONE. You might want to ask an atty about it. Any reply, even from an atty is just an opinion unless it becomes an issue-which it is not currently.

Real estate is in a legal world of its own. Verbal comments mean nothing. All that matters is what is in writing.

If, you are correct and you are allowed only one dog but you have two. As posted by several others, it is not likely to be an issue unless one of your neighbors lodges a complaint. There is no Villages Police looking to catch people.

I WOULD BE QUIET AND ENJOY YOUR DOGS AND YOUR NEW HOME.

I know a couple folks in TV who own multiple dogs and no one has complained. Just be sure to not be out of compliance with the restrictions on landscaping and yard ornaments. No pink flamingos although they certainly are a long standing Florida tradition!

I was told by a Villages sales agent that the deed restriction exists to prevent breeding dogs. Makes sense.
