Much of The Villages north of 44 is unincorporated, if within Sumter County. If in Lake County most are within Fruitland Park, Lady Lake or Leesburg. South of 44, in Sumter County, development is mostly within Wildwood.

I wanted to include the forever property tax burden to my budget. Bonds and sub-district M&O are a separate number. I have a separate analysis for those numbers but only for the target districts we looked at.

You forgot to include amenity fees. These take the place of park districts, or forest preserve district taxes. Including those, my Marion taxes are still 12 to 15 years behind what I was paying in DuPage County Chicagoland. Sales taxes are lower here too, and there is no income tax.
