It went into building the infrastructure. Would like to have it maintained now?

I think we are talking about annual maintenance, from the district site:
“Remember: Even if you pay off your bond assessment, there will continue to be an annual maintenance assessment that pays for the ongoing costs of maintaining the infrastructure.” |

Expansion has also helped raised everyone's property values with newer homes paying more in taxes. Effectively subsidizing the older areas. |

Thanks but I did search and found nothing. I’d also like to know the source of the “$341 increase for the average homeowner.” I’d like to see the math. Seems like all we have on this thread is speculation and knee jerk reactions. No offense intended but if someone has substantiated facts, please post. |

Unbridled growth of The Villages to blame for proposed 24-percent tax increase
By Villages News Editorial - July 24, 2019 ... Which brings us back to the 24-percent tax increase – about $341 per year for the average Villages homeowner in Sumter County. At Tuesday’s meeting, Arnold explained to the agitated crowd that while the county’s rapid growth provides more money in property taxes, revenue increases often lag behind infrastructure expenses $341 does not make sense, need to see the math. (Anyone know how to paste functional links to the Villages News?) Last edited by Altavia; 07-26-2019 at 01:17 PM. |

From the link I posted above:
“That rate is $1.67 above the rolled back rate of $5.03, which is the rate needed to collect the same amount of revenue as the previous year. The owner of a $300,000 home with a $50,000 Florida homestead credit would pay $1,675 in county property taxes next year, an increase of $340.88” |

I think that the 25% is probably a negotiation tool, you know, they want to raise taxes by 5%, maybe 10%. When it is announced that it is “only going to be...” everyone will clap and sigh with relief... what a game.
===================== Exactly, everyone will jump up and down when the Commissioners decide on 7.5 % and all will agree with their salary increase because they now became 'the good guys!' |
