At the March 20, 2025 meeting, the Homeowners’ Corporation Board voted to place a moratorium on architectural applications for six weeks while the Firewise recommendations are reviewed. Owners are encouraged to submit their applications, but if the project falls within the area where there are Firewise restrictions, such as building a wood fence connected to your house structure, those applications will be held while the Architectural Control Committee and the Homeowners’ Corporation Board review the new rules required for Firewise implementation.
The board recommends homeowners contact Mary Tatum, mtatum@the-villages.com to schedule a free Firewise home assessment. The assessment information is not shared with others, so your privacy is maintained. It simply provides you with information as to what you can do to protect your property and your neighbors.
