We are one of the few developments that charges the homeowner a bond, but I'm not complaining because the infrastructure was well planned.
My experience with the Villages agent evading even revealing the existence of much less discussing the bond occurred 15 years ago when I first visited TV on a lifestyle visit. Hopefully things are different now. I had known about the bonds from posts on TOTV. Since the agent had not mentioned them I had to ask him about them. He hemmed and hawed and only begrudgingly admitted they even existed if memory serves me right. I did move on to another TV agent who was more forthcoming.
