From the Sumter county tax collector web site.

The Villages Special Assessments
(352) 751-3900 Residential Bond Assessment Information
The Village District Office maintains all information
The Village District Office will provide Bond Payoff Inquires, Interest Rates, and Amortization Schedules.
The infrastructure of the The Villages District was built using Tax-Exempt Municipal Bonds. The Bonds are repaid with funds collected on the annual tax bill. The Maintenance Assessments are also billed on the annual tax bill to cover the maintenance and replacement of the infrastructure that was purchased with the Bonds.
The Board of Supervisors set the Maintenance Assessments, through Budget workshops each year by reviewing the operational needs of the Districts. The Maintenance Assessments are used to cover the cost of items, such as landscaping, deed compliance, road maintenance, wetlands and preserves, water retention areas, storm/gutter facilities, rights-of-way, transportation paths, walls, fences, utilities, insurance, etc. along with setting aside reserve funds for future projects.
In the Non Ad Valorem section of you tax bill you will find the Municipal Bond Assessment (Indicated with a “B”) and the Maintenance Assessment (indicated with an “A”).
