Basically, none. Typically, if one lives within the corporate limits of a city, their city taxes pay for a host of services. Such as: Police and fire protection, parks & recreation, street maintenance, sanitary sewer maintenance, street lights, sidewalks, storm debris removal, and many other things. Here in the Villages, however, the city of Wildwood provides none of those things...except police protection. So, unless you are a regular consumer of police services, you really get nothing for your tax dollars to Wildwood. In fairness, the plan is for Wildwood to take over street and sewer maintenance for Villages within their jurisdiction, but that is being slow-rolled, to say the least.
