CDDs Continued
Yes, there are different types of CDDs. There are independent and dependent CDDs, both of which we have in The Villages. Yes, you can also have a CDD without a bond. Unlike an HOA, having a CDD is the only way that "fees" can be collected by a government tax authority.
There seems to be a lot of misinformation on TOTV as to whether CDDs are allowed in Lake County. They are. The Villages Community Development Districts website has a drop down bar labeled "Your District". Click on it and go to District 11 (Fruitland Park). It has organized and they have begun having meetings, have a budget, and a Capital Service Fund and Debt Service Fund totaling $41 million plus. It isn't finished yet, (i.e. no map of the district), but from what has been said in their introduction to the CDDs meeting last week and what is on the official VCDD website, they intend to have CDD 11 run as the rest of the residential Community Development Districts they have organized. |

I have heard this said many times, that Lake County initially was not very cooperative or hospitable to the people developing The Villages in the past and The Villages avoided going back "into" their territory for some time.. I love living in Sumter County. Glad there is no pee in Lake Sumter too.

your absolutely right.....
You get what you pay for.........or do you? The recreation is available, but not for you due to over crowding, classes are offered, but full, and the most important to my Hubby.....the club he wanted, which I promised he would enjoy if he would just let me spend the extra money to be in the Villages, is available, but full with a 2 year wait list. Bummer........ So, the Villages offers the Illusion of clubs/recreation, but not the reality. get your name on the waiting list and then wait 2-3 years. You'll get to enjoy it eventually. |

I don't know where you live but I have lived in the Villages for a year and a half and: 1. I have never been unable to get a tee time. A lot of times it is not my first choice of location or time but I get a tee time. 2. During high season we just eat later when going out. Sometimes we have had to wait an hour, just like where we came from. (Toledo) 3. My wife likes to take art classes, sometime 3 or 4 a week. She has never been denied a spot. 4. I don't know about the club that is full you refer to. If it is full, start another one. The Villages makes it easy to do so. I think the illusion you refer to is the one you might get listening to the constant complainers on TOTV and even they might tell you they were embellishing their problems to make a point. |

we moved in in 2007 and out in 2009. Renting our Villages home to unsuspecting northerns is much more profitable to us. maybe in 10 years or so we will give it another try.
So glad you love it there. |
