Hello friend. My wife and I purchased our house in TV July 2006. I am 50 and she is 49. we decided to buy then because we were planning for the future and the location was great. Our close friends are 67 and 68 years old and live 3 houses down from us. TV is an active, living place - full of life. My concern is what I previously wrote here in TOTV.COM and I hope you do your research as well :

I'm sure death and taxes are a sensitive subject anywhere. I purchased my Chula Vista home 7/2006. I got my tax bill about 30 days ago and it has gone up over 150%. I realize that there is an incredible amount of Florida tax laws that I need to become familiar with now. Public tax records on the street I live overwhelmingly reflect 3/4 of my neighbors with $1300 or less bills. I don't understand the estreme disparity which seems to be prevelant throughout "all of The Villages". Can someone shed some property tax light for me? I'm just trying to understand how neighbors on either side of me, with "like" homes are being assessed thousands of dollars less than me. Is this about appeals? Is this about scrutiny of appraissers, tax assessors? Help !!! Thanks, Chaz :joke:
