The special assessment is:
Non-Ad Valorem Assessments
Code Levying Authority Amount
0000000 UNIT 00000 SPECIAL ASMTS - MAINT $
which is assessed yearly by each district and can vary from district to district and from year to year.

In the deed restrictions it says that the developer can change them.
General provisions: section 4:
Declarant (developer) can amend the the covenants and restrictions by duly recording an instrument executed and acknowledged by the declarant. It also says that the declarant can assign that right also.

What schools are being supported approximately 40k of homes of retired persons with no children in tv, each property paying approximately $1000 or more per year? How did they get along before the villages were built without that 40 million per year? I am sure the non villagers population has grown to support the businesses around and in tv but.. that is still alot of money. If they claim their school population has increased 40 million per year worth, Id sure like to see it.

What "Special assessment" are you talking about. I looked at my taxes and don't see one - for any year since I moved here.

I am not aware of the developer changing the deed restrictions. Can you cite some changes that were made to your deed restrictions? I know that they can change them for the different village that they cover when the deed restrictions are cast for that village.

The schools are by the school district. I am in Marion and I think we go up to Belleview. Some of the school taxes are a State requirement. If you think these school taxes are high you should live in NJ. These taxes are nothing. Anyway, we as a community should support the schools as they will educate our future leaders.
