Others might call it BS ... (just kidding)

The numbered CDDs eventually become a board of supervisors made up solely of residents, elected by residents. I don't recall how many years that takes and couldn't readily find the answer on the CDD website. It's not 2 years and it's not decades...somewhere in between. The numbered CDDs retain professional property managers (Janet Tutt, John Rohan, et al) to execute CDD budgets and operations. These property managers work closely with the Developer but are not direct employees of the developer.

The central CDDs that govern the commercial areas and oversee the amenities (golf, pools, rec centers, etc) have a board of supervisors elected by "commercial landowners" which essentially means the Developer's hand-picked reps. Residents do not elect these reps. Some of these reps are Villages residents but are first and foremost reps of the Developer (opinion, not fact)
