As incredible as it seems, now that the miscalculation error has been discovered (apparently by a diligent homeowner), the District Government is not, on its own volition, checking the amounts of all the payoffs and refunding the overpayments it wrongly collected. Instead, if you paid off your bond and want to recover any overpayment, you need to obtain from the District office on Wedgewood Lane, fill out, and return to that office a form entitled "Request for Reimbursement of Bond Interest".

The District has said that it will then refund, to persons filling out and returning that form, any overpayments, whose recovery is not barred by the statute of limitations. In other words, if you paid off your bond, don't wait too long to file your claim.

This was sent to me via email from the VCDD. I am sure it was sent to everyone who lives here.

For your convenience, the article link is below. If you have any additional questions, please contact the District Finance Department, Bond Team at (352) 751-3900 or visit the District’s website at www.DistrictGov.org.
