Could property taxes REALLY disappear in Florida… and what would that mean for you in The Villages, FL?

You’ve probably seen the headlines about Florida eliminating property taxes—but what’s actually happening behind the scenes might surprise you. In this video, we break down the real proposal that’s been circulating in the 2026 legislative session, why it stalled, and what it could mean for homeowners—especially here in The Villages, FL.

If you’re living on a fixed income, thinking about buying, or planning your next move, this is a conversation you need to understand. Because while the idea of “no property taxes” sounds incredible, the reality could come with trade-offs that impact your monthly costs, your home value, and even your ability to move in the future.

We’re diving into:
• What the proposed property tax elimination actually included (and what it didn’t)
• Why the Florida Senate pushed back—and what happens next
• How this could affect your annual costs in The Villages, FL
• The potential rise in sales tax and other hidden costs
• What this means for homesteaded properties and long-term residents
• The truth about bonds, CDD fees, and non-ad valorem taxes
• Real numbers and examples from a Villages home tax bill
• How this could impact resale value and future buyers

This is one of the biggest financial conversations happening in Florida right now—and it’s far more complex than the headlines suggest.

If you live in The Villages, FL or are thinking about moving here, make sure you’re fully informed before making any decisions.

Whether you’re brand new to The Villages or you’ve been here long enough to call yourself a seasoned Villager, there are definitely a few unwritten rules that make life here smoother—and a lot more fun.

In this video, I’m sharing the real-life Do’s and Don’ts of Living in The Villages, Florida—from golf cart etiquette and roundabouts to social norms at the squares, parking, trash days, and even how real estate actually works here.

These are the things no one really tells you… but everyone eventually learns 😅

You’ll learn:
• How to properly park golf carts (yes, there’s a system)
• Who really has the right of way: cars vs carts
• The biggest roundabout mistakes I see all the time
• Social do’s and don’ts at Brownwood and the town squares
• Why you might actually need TWO agents when house hunting here
• The trash rule that could invite bears (not kidding)
• And the parking habit that drives everyone crazy

Whether you live here full-time, part-time, or you’re just Villages-curious—this one will help you blend in like a local.

So what did I miss? I know the longtime Villagers have a few more do’s and don’ts—drop them in the comments so we can all learn from each other.
