Bond is a debt on your home/land plus land that never goes away. TV issues tax free bonds to finance future construction - homes commercial etc - we pay for it for 30 years or if you want to pay it off .
Components are bond mainyence which is roads sewer etc the house portion and fire assessment.

After it’s paid off you continue to pay interest on those bonds in perpetuity as a non ad Valorem item called HOA/maintenance

So its never really paid off as fees continue.
This was discussed with TV taxing people fL Dept of revenue
