Like the existence of the bond it would have been something known up front. To discover it two weeks before closing is another thing.

Guess I never really thought about it because I have no intention of paying off the bond. Hubby might have known about the interest, he talked with the sales agent about bonds, but I was just more interested in trying to decide what model home I wanted. After living in southern CA, houses here seemed a bargin...though the taxes were considerably more than I used to pay (We had Prop 13 which kept our property taxes fairly low.) New owner of our house wasn't exempt and the taxes had gone up almost $4000 for them.
Again, congratulations on your new home...and remember, so many things are different financially here in Florida, but the people and the beauty of The Villages are priceless.
