Dining orientation

Method: destination coordinates are address matches; the village center averages current geocoded listings. Mileage is as the crow flies, rounded to one decimal. Verify the route from the specific home before relying on it.

Before an offer

Three records worth checking.

The asking price is only the front door. Taxes, build records and the district bond can change the real ownership cost.

01

County and property tax

Homes here sit in Sumter County, whose millage is 9.8685 — the rate behind every monthly-cost estimate on this site. How property tax works here →

02

Build-era evidence

When it was built

The homes we could match to county permits were built between 2024 and 2025. Construction here is recent enough that the village may still be filling in.

Based on 15 homes of 18 matched to a county permit record, platted as VOSO UNIT 218, VOSO UNIT 219, VOSO UNIT 220, VOSO UNIT 221.

03

District bond

The bond on these homes

The bond is the part of a Villages payment that catches buyers out: it is separate from property tax, it varies by plat unit, and it can be paid off or still owing on any given home. These are the district's own amortization schedules.

A schedule shows what a unit's bond was originally. Only the district's parcel lookup shows what is still owed on one specific home. How the bond works →
