I believe you pay the following:

Because you live in Sumter County
- Sumter County property tax
- Sumter County school tax
- Sumter County fire protection fee

Because you live in an area incorporated by Wildwood City
- Wildwood City tax

Because you live in this part of Florida
- Southwest Florida Water Management Division (SWFWMD) fee

Because you live in a CDD
- Annual bond payment
- Annual CDD maintenance payment

Because of who provides your water service
- CSU water and irrigation and any associated tax

Because of who provides electric service
- Leesburg electric bill and any associated tax

Because you live in the Villages
- Villages amenity fee
- Villages trash pickup


Difference between your bill and mine:
- I live in an unincorporated section of Sumter County so I don't pay Wildwood taxes
- My electric company is SECO so they get my bill payments
Now if someone will explain " The Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions" to him, he will know pretty much everything he should have researched before signing on the dotted line.
