Designers 24K
Cottages and villa's 14K

And the explanation above that Bogie Shooter gave is correct.

Bogie Shooter is ALWAYS correct.

AND so is KStew when he said that every home in the unit pays the same.

BTW I am not always right.............................
Your bond amounts are just estimates. It depends on what district the house is located.

There is a lot of information at the Villages Community Development District Web Site. Search VCDD or bond to find info. A very helpful excel spreadsheet was posted that will show you an example of what the costs add up to.

We can add recreation centers, swimming pools, executive golf courses, mail stations, tennis/pickleball courts and on and on to the list of what our bond and continued monthly maintenance fees pay for.

those are not in the bond... totally different fees.......they are in the ammenity fees..presently $147 per month....

The ammentiy fees can go up yearly,

the bond total fee will never change..you either pay it off when you buy or fiance it for 30 years..

The o.p. asks about the residential bond (which covers each home's portion of infrastructure cost in the residential "unit"/allotment" where the home is).

All the amortization schedules of a "unit" of homes can be seen here:

Amortization Schedules - Sumter

An example for a unit of villas is below. Shows interest rate at the bottom. Annual amount is billed with your county property tax.

I just scanned 44 pages of VCDD budget. I stand corrected...and have a headache

[tuccillo]

There is also an annual maintenance assessment to support the infrastruture. Presumably this can go up with time.

You can add them, but you would be wrong.

Those amenities are covered by your monthly amenity fee. There is a lot of misinformation about bonds in this thread. See Bogie Shooter's above quote from the District website for an accurate description. In defense of the erroneous posts, the system here is really complicated.

[justanormalgirl]

O.k. so maybe they weren't totally answered. So, there is no bond in the historic section, just the monthly amenity fees. Do I understand everything correctly then that if we buy on that side the only expenses we would have is the amenity fees to TV, insurance, taxes and utilities?

This is true of any Villages property in Lake County, not just that in the historic section on the east side of 441/27.
