2 Very basic questions. Construction of Villas & Taxes
1) Are ALL the vinyl sided Villas constructed of wood frame ?
2) Which county has the highest taxes ? Thanks, Will |

Along with county taxes, you may have 'city' taxes, Wildwood, Lady Lake, Fruitland Park and Leesburg I believe have these, hopefully someone will have a good resource to research this question. My understanding is that houses NOT located in these areas have lower taxes.
As for you first question I believe the answer is yes, but a quick call to the villages sales department should be able to confirm this as I have no idea about the new construction south of 44.

From what I have observed vinyl is on frame houses.
Marion county has the highest property taxes. Some areas have additional city taxes in addition to county taxes & those raise the tax bill quite a bit. Unincorporated Sumter county has the lowest property taxes. |

Go to the county and city sites and look up the tax. Try tax assessor or tax collector.

Taxes
Look for a used home in unincorporated Villages. All new construction areas have city taxes now. Wildwood extended their incorporation of city limits all the way to Middleton and even beyond to collect their windfall. A 500 k home is over 10,000 a year just in bond and taxes. Add insurances and utilities to that at about 600 a month? Wildwood charges around 1500 of that per year.

So many variables in TV looking for a home to buy. I feel I should budget an extra $1000 monthly for just for property taxes, city taxes, & bond payments if I purchase a Villa in the (right or wrong) area of TV.. When they say you are BUYING a Lifestyle.... they are not kidding !

These can be misleading as they take into account homestead exemptions and the Save our Home laws which limited tax increases

Actually, Marion county is 4.29 vs 5.0364 for Lake. However, Marion has a higher school tax levy and an additional 4.83 MUNI SERV levy, that Lake doesn't have as a separate item. Adding in either Lady Lake, Fruitland Park or Leesburg city levy will push those areas higher than Marion County, which has no city levy.
