According to you prior post [the Dec, 2013 response from district govt]: maybe because the CDD is the "govt entity" of the Villages only. And the "tax dollar" to which you refer is an "assessment (tax) each of the Districts levy on residents annually."

No resident beyond the boundaries of the Villages pays anything to support the MMP.
