How did you make your money? How much do you have left?

Isn't that our business as how much the developer makes is yours?

We contacted the Villages and it took them a month to figure out and agree to send us the money they got back from Sumter County. SMH
Those evil developers. That must be how they make their wealth, scamming $3k tax refunds.

Wow.

The history of The Villages is unique and remarkable. I have read about it in a couple books and from other sources. Mark Morse was the driving genius IMHO.

Looks like you made the mistake by paying twice.

The Villages had nothing to do with your mistake.

Seriously?

I guess they should have kept the money that doesn't belong to them to punish us for not being familiar with how new taxes work on a new residence. Yeah right - they had absolutely nothing to do with it.

Either you have bad accounting or you deliberately paid it twice.

Any interest "they" made wouldn't buy a big Starbucks.

I am a bit confused. On your settlement sheet you should have been given credit for the prorated amount of property taxes (from the first of the year to your settlement date). You then pay the tax bill that comes in November. This would be the case for a cash purchase. If you have a mortgage then the property taxes were escrowed at closing by the mortgage provider. In that case, the mortgage provider would typically pay the taxes and not you. If you got a tax bill you would have sent it to your mortgage company to pay (from escrow) and not pay it yourself. Did this not happen?

Very Serious.

You paid it twice.

The Developer had nothing to do with it.......it was the County.

Mr. Serious.

Thanks for saying it can be confusing. Fortunately we figured it out in time (like doing yearly taxes). Hope other innocent homeowners who aren't accounts aren't missing their money. We're new to Florida homeownership and Florida taxes. I'm not going to respond any further since I don't want to suffer any more rude and inappropriate comments.

I am glad that it all worked out in the end.

They have very much improved on George Pullman's company town.
