That doesn't sound right to me about the property tax. I live in Sumter County and each year the county commissioners set the millage rate for the taxes. So far, it has either not changed or gone down a little. I think this is due to the growth of TV expanding the tax base. I don't expect my tax bill to remain constant for the rest of my life.

The district maintenance fee, because it relates to the common areas of each district only, is, I believe, a simple matter of the expenses divided by the number of units in the district. I don't believe it matter whether the home is a villa, cottage, designer, or premier. Everyone pays the same.
