As has been stated, amenity fees have nothing to do with property taxes.



As the Villages expands with new homes, new amenities are being added so one would expect the fee to remain somewhat stable as supply of homes increases with number of amenities.



In the case of Sumter county, 3,000 new residences equals a nice boost in tax revenue, probably more than needed to provide comparable county services, so, they can roll back the millage rate. Once the Villages quits selling new homes, the millage rate rollbacks may cease.
