These services are supported by amenity fees.

I support your thoughts, but I must correct you. Amenity fees do not pay for Villages fire safety and EMS service.
The amenity fees provide funding for items such as common area maintenance, community watch, recreation centers and activities, water retention areas, gate and postal facility maintenance and executive golf courses.
The amenity fee revenue from the Village Center residents or those living north of CR 466 is collected in the Recreation Amenities Division Fund that is normally called the RAD fund.
The amenity fee revenue from the Sumter Landing residents or those living south of CR 466 is collected in the Sumter Landing Amenities Division Fund that is normally called SLAD.
The Villages Fire Protection District is funded by a Non-Ad Valorem assessment which appears on your annual property tax bill.
