I don’t think most folks realize how much work the research is and how much information is available to the public via the freedom of information act. It’s just a matter of digging through the county and city websites. The drone footage is another matter all together. Flying to get decent footage and then editing. Your do put a lot into this. It does not go unnoticed. I think many do not appreciate what we have because they haven’t appraised what we have vs what other communities have and charge for their amenities. We did a final appraisal prior to purchasing our current home south of 44. I can promise every villager, there is no other 55+ community anywhere in Florida that the amenities fee vs the amenities available is as good as it is here. Thank you again for your efforts!

North of 466 - Village Center Community Development District Between 466 and 44 - Sumter Landing Community Development District South of 44 - The Villages of Lake-Sumter (the developer). None are maintained or owned by the residential/numbered CDDs or the residents. All explained in the first amenities video - The Amenity Fee (part 1) and The Villages 7-26-2020 Construction Update - YouTube

I attended the AAC meetings where the removal of the deferral rate was discussed. A presentation was given with a breakdown of how many homes paid which amount for their amenity fee. It was mentioned that there are a small number of homes with the guarantee of a very low amenity fee for as long as the home stayed owned. If I recall correctly, these are all (?) in the historic district (or in early Spanish Springs homes). And this was an early sales tool used to get customers. So the staff could then project going forward with the CPI increases, knowing which homes had these sweetheart deals. The rest of us did not have any such language in their contracts. Will be interested to hear how many take up your offer.

Similar scenario on ND when I asked some of the whiners to post a signed written document whereby their realtor or developer ever “promised” that the expansion would stop at xyz location...... Or that the bridges would be completed by xyz date ....or ...... the claims of “promises” goes on and on ...... ![]() Last edited by jarodrig; 08-21-2020 at 09:57 AM. |

There is nothing in any of the deed restrictions for the early units (or any other) that puts any limits on the Amenity Fee. This is another Urban Legend long circulated by uninformed residents. I've attached the relevant sections of these areas deed restrictions. The terms of these have basically remained unchanged for 50 years with respect to the CPI adjustments. What has changed, in the resident's favor, is the requirements for agreement on adding additional amenities, going from a 2/3 super majority agreement to a 1/2 simple majority agreement.

That I believe is the DZ Concrete prefab facility, there is also the Daily Sun's new printing facility, a general receiving warehouse for The Villages (developer), and some other companies going in there.
