Could be a lower purchase price, perhaps the neighboring house was bought in a different year?

Could be homestead exemption or carried taxes from another Florida house?

Could be a lot of things…

The money will come from the R&R (repair and replacement) fund, as it always does for this kind of work. That's what it's there for.
Additions to the R&R fund is included in every year's budget, as are withdraws.
The annual deferral rate was eliminated because prices continue to rise but revenue did not, we were 2-3 years away from having to withdraw from the R&R fund and apply it to the general fund budget just to cover operating costs (not adding additional to the R&R fund)

Considering that The Villages (with just a few neighborhoods that have exceptions) doesn't have ANY HOA fees at all, and the amenity fee is still under $200 for everything you get, I'd say it's a pretty good deal. HOWEVER - I also think money is being mismanaged by the CDDs, who *appear* to sign off on any necessary emergency infrastructure needs, even when it's clear those needs are the result of inefficient workmanship. Which is, or should be, the Developer's responsibility.

I'm talking about things like water main collapses in areas that are under 10 years old. That shouldn't happen, and if it does, then the Developer should be handling that. They're the ones who arranged for those faulty pipes to be put there.

And that mean most likely you will be living in Sumter County right above 44 and be paying the lowest taxes. Best to stay in Sumter County our of Wildwood and you will be paying the lowest taxes.

Each county has it's own "mileage rate". In Sumter County, the rate for 24/25 is decreasing from 5.19 to 4.89. Wildwood city tax is staying the same at 2.827. The fire assessment is going up as is the Sumter County School tax. My CDD (maintenance rate is also going up). Again you will pay a county tax no matter where you go. City tax may also be imposed if in a "incorporated" area. Homestead exemption in Sumter County is 50,000.00. You can also get a Vet, first responder and blind exemptions. Check each county property tax web site for specifics. Sumter County has an office on Powell and 466a. The copper domed building. There is a property tax office in there. (As well as DMV, Voter Registration, VA, Library, Dog registration, Master Gardner on Fridays).
