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.

I am in Newell. It was understood at closing by me we are in the City as Leesburg (as is the village - small V - of Okahumpka). I used to live in Citrus Grove and paid a similar fee because I lived in the Wildwood city limits. Their street signs even have the Wildwood logo on them. CDD 14 is patrolled by Leesburg PD as an example of the services we get.
I have to say I have heard MANY times - NOT by you, OP - that we live in the Villages - not Okahumpka, or Wildwood, or 34762. These places were here long before we were.
