When I type in my zip it shows Okahumpka, I think some of my paperwork when we bought said Okahumpka, and the Okahumpka post office is right on 470 on the way to Leesburg. I found a map that appears as if we're in Okahumpka, but planning and zoning maps show us controlled by Leesburg. I understand Okahumpka is unincorporated, and I know in some states towns are allowed to control planning and zoning beyond their boarders for growth path reasons. Did anyone else get this Duke notice? I called and they are looking into it.
Here is a map of Leesburg.

It appears to be highly gerrymandered!

It appears that if you are in Newell, Lake Denham, or Dabney, you are In Leesburg.

I think they annexed it the land a few years ago so that they could collect taxes from the Villages - without providing many services.
