According to my deed paperwork, "The Villages Community imposes special assessments on the properties through a special taxing district. These assessments pay for the construction, operation and maintenance costs of certain public facilities of the district. The maintenance assessment is set annually by the governing board of the district. These assessments are in addition to county and all other taxes and assessments provided by law and are paid in advance.
"Amenities including clubhouse, swimming pools, golf courses, tennis courts, guardhouses and other facilities are to be furnished by the develop in exchange for a contractual fee to be paid to The Villages Community Development District, created under Chapter 190 of the Florida Statute (VCCDD). The district has assumed the obligation to provide those services and does in fact provide them. The facilities are available to all The Villages whether in this unit or one of the many other units which are part of The Villages. The developer is constantly adding facillities and periodically transfers them and the right to receive the fees to the districts. The fee is $135 on new construction and can not go up in excess of the Consumer Price Index. Fees are mandatory. There is no homeowners associations."
