Florida has and still has a very serious problem with property taxes.

Have you read about how people have been taxed out of their homes?

And not being able to pay the very expensive Homeowners Insurance?

The Villages is simply a developement in central Florida.

People in Dade, Broward, Monroe and Palm Beach counties are getting

slaughered with high taxes and insurance.

I am sure Tampa and Naples area are high too.

Each and every homeowner who lives year round here and calls Florida home

has a 25,000 homestead excemption ( SAVE OUR HOMES )

If you are widowed or disabled ; an additional 500.00

We have give an additional break to the elderly who are barely getting by.

And we have plenty of elderly here in Florida who are in dire straits.

Sorry to go on and on.

I get a little nuts when I hear negative things about Florida.

I have lived in Florida for 37 years. This is home.

If you want a break in property taxes make us your permenent home.
