The "in area" guest pass is a relatively new thing (2-3 years maybe?). Prior to the "in area" guest pass you had to live in a county other than Marion, Sumter or Lake. This "in area" guest pass rule was subtly put into play. The article explained why the "in area" guest pass was established but the residents had no say in it.

I think that if anyone wants to have a "in area" pass for their relatives that qualify, they must pay the same amenity fees that the resident pays - plus the nonresident fees - for golf, etc OR the resident should be charged an additional amenity for every "in area" quest address. This is only for the 365 days a year passes. Guests from out of state follow the established rules.

Amended 9/5 - After thinking about it, it would probably not be a good idea to charge a full amenity fee. That would probably mean that the "in area" guests could lobby to get into some of the clubs, etc. Maybe just charge an annual fee for each "in area" guest address to offset the maintenance of the pools and other facilities they might use.
