Re: Bison Valley residents using The Villages family pools
Whoa folks...I think things have gotten confused.
Any village resident can get FREE guest passes for their visitors. The guest has to live outside the 50 mile radius. The guest is entitled to use the amenities (adult pool (if old enough), family pool, pickleball, tennis) but not the sports pools. The guest is entitled to play executive golf but must pay the appropriate guest green fee or trail fee. Essentially, they pay guest rates for things that have fees attached and are excluded from programs that are resident only. Guest passes are issued for up to 30 days.
A renter can "purchase" the resident ID from the owner of home (by going through the Villages process whereby the owner turns in his ID cards). There is a $50 fee for the owner to transfer his resident privileges to his renter(s). One $50 for all the renters. I am not sure of the time limit on this (e.g. you have a long term, permanent renter who stays in the house for 3 years...do they pay $50 each year or just once). This transfer now gives the renter ALL resident privileges.....no exec green fees; resident fees for all other activities, use of sports pools, entry to Katie Belles, etc. For someone who is renting in TV for a month or longer, this $50 investment will probably make sense.
Please don't confuse guest passes with resident transfer privileges.
