It has taken ten years now, but looking at my TRIM notice, the proposed county taxes, added to the amenity fees, have now topped the $7K mark, just like the old homestead in DuPage County Illinois.
However, I still think the value for dollar paid is better here. There are almost no potholes and I don't have to shovel the rain, nor will I slip and fall on the frozen sunshine. |

So please subtract about $2400/year from that 7K false equivalency. And for the coup de gras---this is NOT Illinois. |

I hope you weren’t addressing that to me. It was the OP that created a false equivalency by adding the amenity fee to his taxes and posting it was now the same as his taxes in Illinois, I was telling him to take the amenity fee out of his tax equation

Our ANNUAL property tax bill in the Villages is just a little bit higher than our QUARTERLY property tax bill in taxachusetts. And what we get in the Villages for our monthly Ammenity fee is one of the best deals available anywhere.

No, it isn't. OP prob meant MAINTENANCE fee, which is a non-ad valorem assessment. I would consider this and the fire district fee to be a tax as it serves the same purpose. The bond is not a tax, but it "plays one on TV".
The taxes are way lower in FL than any northern blue state, even before you factor in zero income tax. |

As I said if the crime was under control.. I, personally, think it is still more fun to live in a vibrant area with mixed populations and movement. Living here is like we're all in a big kettle until we're done and then we're removed.
