The maintenance fee & fire protection as a separate line item on your yearly tax bill. When we moved to The Villages everyone talked about the amenity fee no ever mentioned the yearly maintenance fee. You will have an amenity fee of $144.00 (paid monthly). The maintenance fee $600.00, fire protection $85.00 and trail fee $140.00 if you play golf these are paid yearly. Give take a few dollars on the amounts and the maintenance varies from area to area.

Thank you all so much for the information. It is much appreciated. Just by all you friendly people, I know I'm going to love living at TV.

This is a strange place with many conflicting rules, fees and lots of other confusing things , such as you cannot ride your bicycle on most of the paths they are golf cart only, but there are NO SIGNS that say so!

Most MM paths are for golf carts, pedestrians, roller blades etc. AND bicycles.
