….IN the golf community, not "by" it, and beside the beautiful condos run by retired business executives who know how to manage the HOA solvently and keep the condo fees down, under $200/mo. I wish more people who complain here had actually worked in a business where they saw and had to understand an income/expense worksheet, and how the revenue is earned in sales and brought in to pay the bills. Nobody--especially not politicians glad-handing for votes--is going to match the TV developers in that arena. |

I'm not understanding the zip code issue. We live south of 466A which is "in" Wildwood, but we have a Villages zip code. What's the big deal???

Looking at my Sumter County Property tax on a Villages 3/2 home here with selling market price of $225,000 or so, I see tax billed as: Sumter County: $1,062 Sumter School Board: $1,128 I'm sure those relatives don't mind 50,000 homes paying school taxes into the county school taxes, all by residents/homeowners having no children to be schooled and in need of added schools in Wildwood or Fruitland Park or wherever. Lake County only dreams of having that school tax revenue from TV. |

Unless the Mayor has a rabbit somewhere in his tiny bag of tricks, this faux pas will cost the citizens and businesses of Wildwood dearly. Hope he has his resume in order. |

The Mayor has painted himself into a corner by negotiating in the press. Bad practice, he should know better. It leaves him no place to go until/if The Villages decides to come back to him and most likely offer less.

turns out that your area and most of TV south of 466a is NOT included, while the parcel in question and Pinellas Plaza is. Interesting. Sorry...cant post the link but youll find it if you google it. |

We all move here knowing (or should know) that there is no mayor and council government at The Villages. Anyone who landed here without understanding that needs a history lesson. |

Application Withdrawn!

The Villages & Recreation Plantation. Yeah...that's a really good comparison. Give me a break. If you want to use technical definitions for what is a city, you're 100% correct. TV is not a city. In any other commonly perceived sense of the word, your comparison fails miserably. |

Hmmmmm....well, they, "family members" (not sure why that was in quotes), don't come in here that often. You may find this hard to believe, but there are other activities outside The Villages. They go to Clermont, Bushnell, Ocala, Eustis, Mt. Dora and other places including The Villages. I'm pretty sure the businesses that they do frequent greatly appreciate the money they spend.

I recently heard a residential CDD best described as "township-like", if you come from an area that had townships (I didn't). Each CDD has a board that sets a budget for maintaining the CDD. They have the ability to collect money for maintenance and other services so they are Government-like. Essentially, The Villages is a collection of CDDs (both residential and non-residential), each of which has maintenance responsibilities but also share some common administrative infrastructure. You can think of the CDDs as organizations that provide additional services beyond what the Counties provide and have the ability to collect money to provide those services. The geographic extent of a CDD is determined when it created and they have a maximum size. That is why we now have 11 residential CDDs. Your CDD and the county are your governments.
