My questions are:

1. Where in my house is my doorbell transformer? (If I could find it, I assume the output voltage is marked on it?)

2. Is there a standard doorbell voltage output in all houses built byThe Villages in the last couple of years? And if so, what is the voltage? The amperage?

(And no, I do not have a voltage meter.)

Thank you!
I had Galaxy install a smart doorbell (along with other work) last year on new construction. My doorbell transformer is in the attic at the top of the stairs. It did not take him too long to change the voltage. (I don’t know the installed voltage.)

Depending on your smart home system, your hub speakers might serve as doorbell chimes. My Apple system does this through the pod speakers.
