Tax
If we in Duval pay Sumter county property tax, but if we buy in Fenny, would we pay Sumter county and wildwood city also?

Yes you would pay both taxes. Depending on the value of your home, it would add $1000-1500 to your bill.

Dang. I’m seeing less reason all the time to buy new in fenny. It also makes upgrading what we have look more attractive.

I add this site.
https://www.wildwood-fl.gov/vertical...Y_BOUNDARY.pdf More than the $1000 - $1500 added tax, I would be more concerned what the little country town of wildwood might do in the future. I could see Wildwood getting greedy when Fenny and sections south of Fenny that Wildwood has already annexed go under the taxation of Wildwood. Yep, I’m staying in the original Villages north of Route 44. Last edited by JimJohnson; 09-16-2019 at 10:11 AM. |

I don't think you can buy new in Fenney. I think all the new houses are sold.

I believe you are correct, they are working on the 5th or 6th Village maybe more over there.

Again, I fail to explain properly. I should say all the southern developments bing built on land annexed by Wildwood city. They have annexed way south of The original Fenny. I would be curious to know how they managed that with the power of The Villages Developers liking unencumbered control. Will buyers still pay an infrastructure bond or will wildwood city tax cover that with their newly found tax dollars. Huuummm?

2. Yes, buyer in TV will still pay an infrastructure bond. From an article in the online news site, dated Sept. 9, 2019: Wildwood commissioners voted Monday night to cut property taxes for the coming year during the first of two hearings on a proposed $56.9 million budget. Commissioners agreed to set the millage at 3.398 per $1,000 assessed valuation, which is equal to the rollback rate. That represents a reduction from the current rate of 3.658 and will be the lowest Wildwood residents have enjoyed in 30-plus years. The building of homes at a rate of about 175 per month in the Villages of Southern Oaks is one of the reasons Wildwood commissioners were able to cut property taxes. An example of what that means for residents is that the owner of a home assessed at $200,000 after homestead credits would pay about $680 in city taxes – down from about $740 this year. A property owner’s tax bill also includes levies for the county, schools and fire protection. The proposed millage rate will result in ad valorem revenue of about $5.3 million, up from the 2019 budgeted revenue of $3.7 million. That increase comes in large part because of the growth boom in the Villages of Southern Oaks, where The Villages Land Company is building about 175 homes per month. City Manager Jason McHugh said other elements of the economic boom that allowed for the cut in the millage rate include: The Center for Advanced Healthcare at Brownwood and the Brownwood Hotel and Spa. Those projects carry a permit value of $200 million and are the most expensive structures to ever be built in the city; Brownwood Professional Plaza; A 24-hour emergency center; Four new commercial buildings in Brownwood; The Lofts at Brownwood apartments; Trailwinds Village; Freedom Plaza; Growth in commercial areas such as the Cleveland Avenue corridor that will house new businesses and offer shopping, dining, entertainment and medical services; Expansion in various industries; Homes under construction in several areas and others that already have gone through the permitting process. <snip> |

Wildwood didn't cut taxes, they set it to the rollback rate. What that means is they decided to stay revenue neutral as last year even though the county raised the property values in forms of your appraisal this year. Long story short, you will probably pay the same or very close to the same amount in dollars this year to Wildwood as you did last year even though your home is appraised at a higher level. This was very commonly done where I moved from.
