I'm not doing the research, but as I recall, The Villages charter school does receive some funding/rent from the county/state.
As of this year, fire protection has been moved out of the property tax lines and turned into a fee. The fee is different inside and outside the Villages. Ambulance service is still funded through property taxes.

The Villages Charter school is a public school and gets State and Local education funding just the same as every other school in Sumter County. However, the county does not own the charter school buildings or property so they pay to lease the buildings. At the same time, since the county doesn't own charter schools the county doesn't pay for maintenance of the charter schools.

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
