The Village of Ashland is a neighborhood within The Villages master-planned 55+ community in Sumter County, Florida. Governance occurs through the Villages Community Development District (CDD) system rather than a traditional private HOA. District 5 encompasses Ashland along with neighboring villages and handles infrastructure maintenance, common areas, and deed compliance.
No traditional HOA fees apply. Residents pay a monthly amenity fee (contractual obligation, approximately $189-$199 per household as of recent data) for access to recreational amenities, plus annual CDD assessments for maintenance and bonds (low tier in District 5, with balances scheduled to reach zero around 2033). Exact amounts vary by property and are available via districtgov.org.
Deed restrictions and covenants govern the community, covering architectural changes, landscaping, exterior modifications, parking, pets, rentals (restrictions on short-term/transient use), noise, and general standards. Architectural Review Committee approval is required for most exterior alterations. Enforcement handled through District 5 and The Villages Community Standards. Full declarations available on districtgov.org by district and unit.
