A Village of Oak Hollow resident has gone on the war path over anonymous complaints.

Corinne Leatherman who lives at 1900 Sailor Lane was in Thailand with her husband when the terrible freeze of Jan. 31 obliterated her landscaping. She contacted Arredondo Landscaping to redo her landscaping as a result of the devastating freeze. The company completed the landscaping in March and planted a sign, advertising its services, in her yard. By March, the Leathermans had gone on a trip with a group of friends to Myrtle Beach. While they were away, a complaint was lodged with Community Standards over the Arredondo Landscaping sign. Oak Hollow is in Community Development District 15, which does not allow signs.

In 2025, Leatherman had hired Arredondo Landscaping to put in her original landscaping before the freeze. The company put up a sign advertising its services, and that was the first time that Leatherman was reported to Community Standards for violating the CDD 15 sign rule. She went before the CDD 15 Board of Supervisors after the first complaint and railed against the anonymous complaint policy.

Leatherman told her story Monday in a deed compliance hearing at the District Office in Brownwood.

She admitted she drove around and found 22 homes that were not in compliance. Leatherman reported the violations to Community Standards. When she lodged the complaints, she insisted on giving her name.

“The anonymous complaint system is the thing that bothers me,” she said.

She suspects the complaints about the Arredondo Landscaping signs in her yard came from a rival landscaping company.

She pointed out that the Community Development District 8 Board of Supervisors, which was embroiled in years of litigation over a little white cross turned in by an anonymous complainer, recently ditched anonymous complaints.

“They did the right thing,” she said.

Due to the two sign violations, Leatherman has now been branded as having a home with a “reoccurring violation.” Her home is in compliance now, but if she is has another sign violation, she could face an immediate $500 fine.
