Isn't that what the bond is supposed to pay for?

Not roads. Bond pays for: Infrastructure includes storm water systems, underground pump stations, water retention areas, curbs, gutters, streetlights, transportation trails, underground piping, etc.

Do you have a homestead or other exemptions for your property?
If not, you should definitely apply for ones you are eligible to claim. |

Taxes
We bought our house 13 yrs ago. even with our tax increase our taxes are still less than 2006. They are also 50% cheaper than our taxes on the same value home in Milwaukee . I guess it's all in the math. Len

Unfortunately we moved from TV because we wanted to be closer to children, grandchildren & great grandchildren. But where we are now taxes are high but everything else is cheaper. For one thing gas is $2.04 two weeks ago $1.89. But here if your 65 or older your grandfathered in after one year, & taxes never go up. But to be up front with everybody or taxes this year was only $3,3??. Next year we’ll find out what we’re lock into. Also something that helps our property taxes is cable TV & Internet, it’s FREE. That saves me $165. a month!

Set aside so much money every month to pay property tax and then when the bill comes you will have the money to pay the bill.

That’s like comparing a Lexus to a Yugo, Len. You get far more bang for your dollars in Milwaukee than The Villages after doing an online search. Milwaukee features public transportation, excellent colleges, beautiful Lake Michigan lakefront, fine restaurants that include multicultural cuisine eateries, professional baseball, basketball and hockey teams and a short drive north to Lambeau field. The medical facilities and providers are top notch, fine hotels, beautiful golf courses in and around the city, mixed cultures, art museums, fine theaters, a Riverwalk, great shopping. The list goes on and on but it’s much nicer for it’s tax dollars vs The Villages. One gets what one pays for.

Four seasons are beautiful and btw, there there is skiing close by, water and SNOW. True that The Villages can offer some things including unbearable humidity and heat for 6-7 months out of the year, sinkholes and hurricanes but this is a comparison of value for your tax dollars. Just saying, taxes in Florida may be lower but you get what you pay for. Just checked the weather in Milwaukee, no snow and high in the mid forties to 50’s this weekend. Many golf courses are open.

There was no bond, but developers in NY rolled the cost of infrastructure into the home price, so that's a wash. There were no maintenance fees and garbage pick up was included in taxes, but...you had to separate your recyclables and each type was picked up once every 4 weeks, and trash collection was once a week Sales tax was 8%. There were no amenity fees, but then again, no amenities. The nearest "cultural centers" were in Rochester, 60 miles away. For "all that", I paid over 18K in property taxes. Here, I pay $4600, and my home here is assessed at 200K MORE than my home in NY. Oh, and I forgot, $90 each time it snowed more than 3 inches to plow the driveway---and we averaged 122 inches of snow/year. I'll pass on Milwaukee and stay here |
