But, Wildwood does not provide many services commonly associated with a municipality. They will not provide things like fire protection, water & sewer, trash pickup, parks, etc.

Actually, south of 44 in the Wildwood areas of The Villages, Wildwood owns the Villa roads as well. Whether that's good or bad is yet to be seen.

In the villas communities north of 44 in Sumter County, the CDDs own the villa roads and treats them with rejuvenator every 5 years to help the roads last longer, and mills and overlays (resurfaces) them on a 20 year schedule. Will Wildwood do likewise, that is yet to be seen. If you're paying Wildwood city taxes, be actively involved in your government to ensure you get the services you are paying for, if you don't, you won't.
