[lorilorilori]

Hello - I'm a newbie not yet moved into TV.
I received info on SECO and TECO for electric and gas.
Who supplies water & sewer?


Thank you in advance for sharing info.

Central Sumter Utilities. Water (both potable and irrigation), sewer, and trash collection are billed with your amenity fees monthly. Figure around $220-$240/ month all totaled depending on lot size and water usage.

A bill from The Villages for sewer, water and garbage, combined with your amenity fee, will soon arrive in your mail.

It's OK, BF. I realize as the temperature drops below -30F in August, the brain works slower. Then there is the distraction of fighting off polar bears attacks as well.:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

Expect a $100 mailbox setup fee to be on your first bill along with water/sewer/amenity/trash.

"WATER UTILITY" and slowly I turned step by step....:D

Have not heard of the $100 set up fee? Is this for your postal mailbox?

Is that similar to a left-handed skyhook? My only memory is getting two mailbox keys at closing at no charge.

I hope it's you that is right on this. A $100 fee to set-up your mailbox sounds way out of line. I'm closing at the end of the month so I'll be able to post my experience with this.

If, you are buying a NEW property in the villages request a copy of the paperwork BEFORE you go into closing They "allow" 15 minutes. The form is like 42 pages of legalese. As I recall you will sign on page two that yo have read and understood page one. Aside: our last closing, many years ago was more like 4 pages.

I would ask for a list of all fees. If, I recall there was a deposit on the electronic gate card that you get back when you sell

:undecided: Not 3?

We got two mail box keys and two gate passes at no charge, that's it and we still have them.

[Mleeja]

Hum... Are these fees for new homes? When we purchased an existing home 4+ years ago, I don't recall paying a fee for 2 gates passes or for 3 mailbox keys. Yes please get a copy of the closing papers ahead of time to review. Especially the Deed Restrictions! :-)

Thank you in advance for sharing info.

Utilities information for all districts (regions) of TV, plus all other "city government"-type info is available at

Village Community Development Districts (http://www.districtgov.org)

And Utilities section is here:
VCDD Utilities/Amenities (http://www.districtgov.org/departments/Utilities/utilities.aspx)

Once you close, you will receive a bill in the mail for water (with irrigation water break-out amount), sewer, trash, and your monthly Amenities fee (about $150/mo). Our monthly bill totals about $200/mo for the services I listed here.

At the district website, there are Payment Options described here at this link. For example, you can put it on Autopay by Bank Draft; or set up other online methods of paying; and options are given for in-person payment options:

Utilities - Ways To Make a Payment (http://www.districtgov.org/departments/Utilities/payment.aspx)

It's not new. Built in 2013 (Pinellas). The way I look at this is that I'll pay whatever fees I am told I have to pay. You can't fight city hall lol.

Don't forget the bi-yearly bill for the neighborhood bucket of steam. I dread that the most.

Off topic a little....The first base I reported to after BootCamp and AO School, someone sent me to find out who had the "keys to the hanger basement". They found that to be very funny:cus:

Next base on day 1 they sent me to get "3 feet of flight line". I just took the rest of the day off and went to the beach. When I got to Nam, someone said I need a "bucket of prop wash". I volunteered. ;)

Thank you in advance for sharing info.You haven't told us where you plan to live. This is a big place and it makes a difference.

We are in vcd 10 I Read the covanents. They DO require a mailbox fee for the original property owners, I was not. I refused to pay. Rules are rules, after all. The fee was 'waived' pending legal review. It went to legal and never a word was spoken. You do not have to pass the bar to have basic contract proficiency. That was ten months ago.

[newknees12]

I closed on a new house in May and there was a $90 Mailbox fee charged on the closing statement. Perhaps there is no fee if you buy a previously owned house.

[Wiotte]

I'm closing on our sold house this coming Monday. I'll be reimbursed for the mailbox fee and the new owner will be charged this fee.

If you don't mind, would you post a comment (in a new thread?) regarding what happens with your gate cards?

I have been told that you have to turn them in and pay a $125.00 fee and "maybe" -- you will get some money back at a later date.

Don't know it this is true, but I'm curious. It just doesn't sound right.

[Nucky]

No mailbox fee for us and no deposits on any utility. Welcome Home. Your first amenity bill may be a lot more than you're expecting depending on when you close. Amenity Bill levels out in the second month.

[Carla B]

There was no mailbox fee or gate card fees in 2008...but then those were hard times.

I was told to bring my gate cards to closing along with the mailbox keys. Since we purchased an extra gate card with the old house, they will reissue us an extra with our new house at no charge.

Whoa, I don't remember that one or I just overlooked that one. When moving to TV make sure new residents talk to veteran residents & find out ALL the Pro's & Con's, because TV aren't going to tell you the Con's & they're are some that some of us like & don't like. Overall most like it here, so I guess it just depends what part of the country you came from. Where I came from my highest water bill I ever got was $18. for one month & I lived in this place in Ohio for 17 yrs. Here you'll find out water is HIGH.

[thelegges]

No fees in 2010, but when we sold the house, if we did not turn in gate, mailbox key it was $198.00. Since the buyers agent gave them to new owners before closing (:a20:) we were charged. Took a month to fix it, till he admitted he had the keys and gate passes. Check sent out that week
