That squiggly flower bed made me dizzy.

Those are 275 pound tanks. I would figure the propane company is familiar with the codes. Besides the generator they my have a propane stove, water heater or pool heater. As for the generator, when the power is out who really cares about noise. It is not like they run it everyday to sell back power.

Definitely call Community Standards because it is definitely not to Florida code or Villages deed restrictions. All of our deed restrictions say the propane tanks are supposed to be buried. Florida code requires it be a lot further away from home than what the generator or the propane is located on this house.

Generators are used in emergency situations such as a power outage due to a storm. It doesn't run all the time. Maybe they have a piece of medical equipment that would require it. Bless your heart

Generators should be allowed in TV, it could be necessity during a storm/hurricane. As for the propane tanks, they are ugly and should be buried further away from the house. In our last 55+ community, anything you added to your house, you had to get your 2 closest neighbors to sign off on the ARC permit. I would never have signed off for this, not only because they are ugly, but have you seen a propane tank explosion? Too close to the houses.

It looks like they are there to run the generator and maybe the lack of natural gas in that area dictates propane.

Which District are you in? My deed restrictions in District 10 do not mention propane tanks at all.

Please post a citation or a link to the Florida code that requires those tanks or that generator to be farther from the house.

Imagine if every house in a villa neighborhood had a Generac and they all came on at the same time. The noise would be unbearable. There is one in my neighborhood, and you can hear it from 5 houses away.

For 125- to 500-gallon propane tanks, the distance is at least 10 feet – from any building and from any property line. Same with underground propane tanks that hold up to 2,000 gallons: The minimum distance, from either a building or a property line, is 10 feet.

Yep, ban generators that run a few minutes a week fir maintenance! Yeah, great idea!.
When the lights go out due to a storm, and it will eventually happen, you will wish you had a generator.
