No it is not. When you walk out your front door, you are in Wildwood.

Correction to the welcome to Wildwood sign. It is important to note that we have to pay for our own fire services, unless you live within the city limits. Then fire service is done by the city. A subcontract lists station 31s jurisdiction. The border for protection is in commissioner’s minutes.

Are you saying you don't understand what "on paper" means? Yes, on the map it is Wildwood. Beyond that, when considering services, businesses, general bang for the buck, and look and feel, it is the Villages and not Wildwood.

If there is a fire in the Villages that are within the City limits of Wildwood, does Wildwood provide fire services? Does Wildwood provide our water? Our sewers, our garbage collection? Do they provide EMS? Do they maintain our roads?

I always thought taxes were there to provide for the people - roads, police, fire, utilities, etc.

Lol…utilities are Leesburg for us. If we get control of the city government through the elections, we can steer this in the right direction.

No, I did not say that.

However, it is true that I do not understand what 'on paper' means.

What does the bond money go to?
Shouldn’t wildwood be picking up our bond?

Quoting Goldwingnut, bond pays for
“This money paid for the infrastructure of the CDD during construction - roads, water and electrical distribution systems, retention ponds, etc.”

It’s pays for the original infrastructure, not the maintenance. If not bond, these costs would be embedded into the price of the home.

True. The amenity fees and CDD residual take care of everything else. For sure, Wildwood takes care of nothing! Except maybe traffic tickets lol
