Districts 5-10 will be holding public hearings to discuss amending and restating the Chapter II Rule to Bring about Deed Compliance, specifically for providing for reimbursement of attorneys’ fees incurred by the District in enforcing its Rules and the deed restrictions, and for the recording of the Order of Enforcement in the Public Records of Sumter County, Florida, once entered by the District, so that the Order of Enforcement acts as a lien against the violator’s real property. Pressure washing and hedge trimming will also be discussed. If a property is found in non-compliance of the Rule’s pressure washing and/or hedge/shrubbery trimming requirement, the Board may at the respective public hearing order maintenance of the property to bring the property into compliance with the District’s Rule. Such maintenance may include: (a) pressure washing a home, driveway, walkway, fences, or walls; and/or (b) trimming hedges and shrubbery off the soffit and/or rain gutters of the home, and entry to the front door. The cost of any such maintenance shall be borne by and charged to the property owner and shall include the actual cost of maintenance plus an administrative fee in accordance with the Fine Schedule.
