(using approx. numbers) $20,000 bond paid over 30 years @$1100 per month = $33,000... Ouch!
I assume this is why some people choose to pay the bond off in cash. I called the Development District and there is no creative way to reduce the interest payments- it's either pay it off in full or pay it monthly.
With this in mind what is the best way to pay this bond?
Thanks,

Your math is off or it’s a typo. The bond is paid YEARLY not monthly- so $1100 per year- it’s a line item on your property tax bill along with the regular property tax, maintenance fee and fire station tax, etc. i think the bond is about 3.45% but your agent would know. You can also go to district.gov to find out.
You didn’t say if this is a new or pre-owned home or if you used a Villages agent or MLS agent- but either way- your questions should be answered by the agent.
