BUT....... I just can not find an answer to what I feel is a simple question.

Depending on WHERE the home is...I would be paying property taxes, but say I buy a home in the Villages, but also falls in fruitland Park city footprint would I be paying property taxes to the Villages AND to Fruitland Park ? If I bought a home up in Sumter county that is not inside any other city limits, I would only be paying property taxes only to the Villages. To me, paying DOUBLE the taxes would be a big deal.
Technically, there are no "property taxes" charged by The Villages. Property taxes are paid to the county and to the city, if your house is located within a city.

Your tax bill is divided into two sections, the ad valorem section and the non-ad valorem section. The ad valorem (based on value) section are your property taxes paid to the county and to the city. The non-ad valorem section are assessments that are collected by the county for convenience purposes only, but the funds go to others.
