As I understand it the Amenity Fees are Cap'd at 3% or CPI which ever is lower. The Maintenance has no cap and is charged to the residents as a separate line item on their Property Tax Form. I believe the small park at the 466/Morse Blvd was charged as Maintenance although it was NOT MAINTENANCE but rather NEW?? If that is true what other rules is the Management disregarding and ignoring in order to do what they want??It is time for the State or Federal to step in and do an audit of (1) What rules/controls are in place and do they protect the residents from "Cheating"? and (2) Is the Management/Government of the Villages following these rules. It is time the Controls moved from a "Mom and Pop" profile to ones that represent a Metro City. When you believe all is well remember that around 1999-2000 the Villages was fined
$40,000,000.00 for disregarding State Laws/Statues. This 25% potential increase in Property Taxes is outrages and points to the need for serious audits of the Villages and its Management. When did anyone EVER experience a general 25% increase in any tax. Just the running the flag up to see what reactions would be is an indication of the loss of controls.
