Pretty close to my expenses now but future home insurance may be a get big increase.

Well my bond on a courtyard villa in Monarch Grove is $1300 per year, so that is a significant difference from your estimate. My monthly amenity bill is around $305 which includes water, sewer, trash and amenity fee.

Almost all older villas would fall into that category.

Your estimates seem a little on the high side but it’s good to operate that way.

They can't raise it too high, or I may just cancel it and pay them nothing.

1). Buy a courtyard villa. 3 bedrooms and two bath with an interior laundry 2). Buy one in Sumter County and one where the “bond” on the villa (which pays for the village infrastructure) has been paid in full 3). Buy a concrete block stucco (cbs) villa (better soundproofing). 4). get one where the lanai has been enclosed. You’re not going to want to sit out in a screened lanai in August heat or when the storms hit 5). Don’t get a corner villa but do try to get one on an oversized lot. Corner lots are larger but come with added landscape upkeep but oversized lots give you the extra room behind the courtyard wall. If you are buying your primary home, don’t skimp. If this is a seasonal home you might not want or need all the extras Wish I had taken my own advice |

I thought Marion County has the highest taxes?

It depends. See Post No. 15. I think the highest property tax rates are in the Villages of Pine Ridge and Pine Hills, which are in Lake County and within the City of Fruitland Park.

Not even close. While Marion is higher than Sumter, it is MUCH lower than nearly every county/city south of us. Fruitland Park, Lake County, etc are easily 30%-50% higher.
