I've been in the area for over a year and there's no odor discernable. It's a construction debris landfill.

You might want to check again. Before it was a construction landfill it was a dirt and clay borrow pit.

Rotting drywall causes a stench much like a land fill. Here's one example: Ohio EPA addresses rotten-egg smell near Lafarge demolition debris landfill

You can say what your experience is. Mine is that except in the dead of winter there is a horrible stench on Morse south of 466A and 466A east through mostof Pine Ridge. I drive these roads several times a week.

All depends upon the prevailing wind. Charlotte has been in its path, due west of the dump.

I'm sure you're right. But it's there, nonetheless, and IMO it's not coming from the golf course fertilization nor the ponds regenerating, etc., or we'd be smelling it 9 months a year in all parts of TV.

That is correct, it's not from Villages property. That has been confirmed from an earlier thread r/e this topic.

In general, do you think it is a good idea to avoid houses that are on the edge of the development? You never can tell what will be built on the land in the future.

The Village of Dunedin is still selling. Very friendly village with a good location. The construction landfill is a greater problem for Charlotte than Pine Ridge

Do you know for certain the taxes will be double? Where is the verification?

All of these post will give any one lots of questions to ask, just got to look around and decide what you really want, in your home here in The Villages.
What makes you happy is all that counts !!!

An easy way to check taxes is to go to Lake County Tax Assessor Tax Calculator, which I think is light years ahead of Sumter County's Tax page. If you put in $275,000 (a good average) for a purchase price of a house in Fruitland Park, it will provide you all the data and assumptions. (Exemptions, etc) Taxes are $4,015 per year (excluding bond).
Similar house in Sumter with a value of $275,000 would have ad valorem taxes (excluding bond) of about $1883 per year with a $50,000 exemption.
Yes there may be some small differences in Solid Waste, etc but it appears to be about double the taxes. If I am missing something here please inform us,
Bonds would add about $2200/year in Sumter based on type of property for that house price. Can't tell you what Lake county would be but I did hear they are a bit higher.
If this is correct...It is scary the taxes on the Ivy in Fruitland Park model center area with the pool asking now $815,000 , taxes would be $13,453 plus bond.
The new premiers... >$1.5 million houses. Taxes $25,426 plus >$60,000 bond. Hmmm, $2,700 for taxes and bond a month plus $400-500 a month to maintain and heat the pool! Ouch! If you got, use it.
