What is the Development District Assessment?

[lazynazy]

I'm new to this thread, and not yet living in The Villages (I will soon, I hope). I am familiar with the bond that is paid on each property, but I do not know what the Dev't District Assessment is...is it the same thing as the bond, or is it an additional expense to help with growth and infrastructure? Is it a "forever" payment, or a finite amount? Please advise.
Thank you so much for your help,

In St. Pete Beach now, but that should change soon...on to TV...

This comes on the tax bill and is called Asmt-Maint. I don't know what the charge is based on (i.e. value,location etc). Ours is almost $500 and then there is the fire district charge of $81 also on the tax bill along with the bond payment.
