TOTV has lots of threads about the bond. The most recent bond thread had lots of opinions on what it’s worth to have a paid off bond. Answer: It varies.

And that’s not the only thing that varies. I just learned that there can be a rather significant variation in the bond interest rate from district to district.

If you want to know more about your own bond or the bond on a house you are thinking of buying, here is how to find that information:

Go to districtgov.org

First, you will need to know 3 things about the property—the county, the district number and the unit number……..

You can find your unit number on your Villages ID or you can look it up on districtgov.org under “Street Listing” under “Quick Links” on the Home Page. You will find the district number and county there, too.

(“Village Neighborhoods” lists unit numbers within each Village.)

Now, to find where a specific bond stands with interest rate and amortization, do this……

From districtgov.org “Quick Links” click on “Residential Bond Assessment Information” and then click on “Bond Amortization Schedules” where you will find links to the districts, by county.

Click on the county, scroll to the district, and click on the unit number to find the amortization table and the interest rate for the property. (This is where you can compare interest rates from district to district, if you want to.)
