New Fire district, Who Benefits.. YUP. You guessed!
Try are lying again. This is going to cost you plenty. Your not going to get any better service, But a lot less homes here will have to pay for all the equipment, and salaries READ UP ON THIS..
The fire department staffers calculated the new fire assessment fee. Based on the results of this analysis, she determined that Instead of paying $124.00, they will be paying $516.00. Your fee will be different from others because all properties ARE NOT being assessed the same fee. The fee will be based on the MARKET VALUE of your house. A home in your neighborhood may be paying more than you or less than you, even though you will be receiving the SAME SERVICES. If your house burns, or another house burns, both will still get the same number of responders and fire trucks no matter how much of a fee has been paid. There is no cap on the residential fees that will be charged, and they can increase yearly. There is a cap on commercial properties … Guess who that benefits? There ARE NO NEW SERVICES if the referendum passes! I am very concerned, and do not like the thought of paying this added tax on top of all the other taxes we already pay…......and based on MARKET value!! Here is the ARTICLE BELOW What a fire district means for Villages | News | The Villages Daily Sun | thevillagesdailysun.com |

For as long as this thread stays up....
You are paying more than $124 now. You are paying the additional today through your property tax, it just isn't broken out for you to easily see. You and your neighbor pay different amounts today because you and your neighbor have different taxable values today. As is clearly stated in the published information on the IFD, taxes are capped at $124 + 0.75 mils + a maximum of an additional 1 mil (0.1 mil is used in the tax estimator). When I looked at how much of my tax bill goes to fire protection services today and how much is likely to go to the VPSD, I will pay about $150 LESS for fire protection if the IFD passes. NOTE: The IFD has no control over what the BoCC does. They *should* reduce the tax rate to compensate for the removal of VPSD and SCFD expenses. We'll have to see if that actually happens.

Each parcel will be charged $124. The additional needed funding will be generated with $0.75 cents per $1,000 dollars of relative improvement value (market or ‘just’ value minus land value) in a second tier. In addition to the ‘Simplified Funding’, The Villages Independent Fire Control and Rescue District will have the legal ability to generate funding via an ad-valorem assessment, or property tax, based on the taxable value of your home. This is capped at a maximum of $1 dollar for every $1,000 dollars of the assessable value of residential and commercial properties |
