Some homeowners have chosen to pay off their bond instead of making annual payments. They still have to pay the annual maintenance fee with their property tax. But they are saving the interest expense and the annual administration cost.
I would add that some villages in the county of Lady Lake, such as Pine Hill & Pine Ridge never had bonds. Of course their taxes are a bit higher.
