Muncle.

I agree with you again. I forgot to say that because Lady Kathleen got me sidetracked.

Oh boy.

My general rule of thumb is that if the POA supports a particular issue, I would be on the opposite side. My belief is that they work for the special interests of few whiners and don't support the positive vision of The Villages as a whole.

- These may be in addition to other taxes and assessments,
- The covenants and restrictions be disclosed,
- The additional taxes and assessments with 10 years be disclosed,
- A reasonable estimate of first 3 years of taxes and assessments be given,
- The disclosure be given within 10 days of the date of the purchase contract,
- Violations to be punished by fines of $2,500 per violation,
- Violation fines to be capped at a maximum of $10,000,
- Developers shall submit an annual report,
- Failure to submit annual report will incur up to a $50,000 fine.

So, other than the fact that the POA supports this legislation, does anybody have any problems with any of the points above? They seem reasonable to me, but, maybe I am missing something? As I understand it, this would apply to the 200+ CDD's in FL, not just TV.

Thanks,

It all comes down to doing your own homework before making a life altering decision, such as buying a home. I was a victim of my own ignorance in this respect in '81 when I bought a condo in Naples. Since then I got both an association managers license, and a real estate license in Fl. Neither one is current now, but thankfully, I feel I know most of the right questions to ask

Attaboy Muncie! My sentiments exactly.

Muncle, great post! I'm in total agreement.
