No Bond Homes for Sale in The Villages, FL
Homes with no remaining CDD bond — no annual bond payment carries over to you. Here's what that means, what you still pay, and every qualifying home in one place.
Most homes in The Villages carry a CDD bond — the cost of the neighborhood's roads, water and sewer lines, and streetlights, assigned to each home and billed on the annual property tax bill. A no-bond or bond-paid home has a zero balance, so no annual bond payment carries over to you. That's why buyers ask me for them: it trims the yearly cost of owning. The bond explained guide covers the full mechanics.
One thing I make sure every buyer understands: no bond does not mean no other costs. You still pay property taxes, the CDD maintenance assessment, a fire/rescue assessment where it applies, homeowner's insurance, and the amenity fee — about $204 per month for new buyers as of early 2026. The cost of living guide breaks down all five costs of ownership.
What does "no bond" mean in The Villages?
A no-bond home has no remaining CDD bond balance — no bond line appears on its tax bill. That covers three different situations. On most no-bond homes the bond existed and reached zero: a prior owner paid it off in a lump sum, or the 20–30 year term ran out. Districts 1 and 2 sit in this group — per districtgov.org, neither reports an outstanding bond assessment on any unit. In the nine Historic Section villages in Lake County, no bond has ever existed. Those neighborhoods sit outside every district boundary, so "paid off" is the wrong way to describe them — there is no payoff record to go find. And in a few District 3 sections, the district's published schedules simply show no bond for those homes. Whichever it is, always verify the specific home's status by address.
What's the difference between no bond and bond paid?
For a buyer, nothing meaningful — both mean you owe no annual bond payment. "Bond paid" usually signals that an owner paid off the remaining balance. "No bond" can mean the same thing, or that years of scheduled payments retired it, or that the home is in one of the nine Historic Section villages that never carried a bond at all. Listings use the two phrases inconsistently, which is exactly why I run both searches below.
Do no-bond homes still have CDD fees?
Yes. The bond is only one of the district charges — every home still pays the annual CDD maintenance assessment, which has no end date, and many districts add a fire/rescue assessment. A no-bond home still has a real monthly cost; it just doesn't include the bond line. Every current figure is on my verified Villages facts page.

How do I verify a home's bond status?
Start at districtgov.org — each district publishes per-unit bond schedules showing the annual assessment and remaining balance for that unit. Those schedules are per-unit, not per-home: an owner's early payoff won't appear there, and a few districts haven't published schedules yet. So confirm the exact payoff with the CDD district office, or send me the address and I'll pull the exact remaining balance and annual payment. Never rely on the listing remarks alone — two nearly identical homes on the same street can have different bond balances.
FAQ
No bond homes in The Villages — common questions
The home's CDD bond — the assessment that financed its neighborhood's infrastructure — has a zero balance, so no annual bond payment transfers to you at closing. That covers three different situations. On most no-bond homes the bond existed and reached zero, either through an owner's lump-sum payoff or because the 20–30 year term ended — in Districts 1 and 2, districtgov.org reports no outstanding bond assessments for any unit. In the nine Historic Section villages in Lake County, no bond has ever existed, because those neighborhoods sit outside every district boundary. And in a few District 3 sections, the district's published schedules simply show no bond for those homes.
Functionally yes — both mean you owe no annual bond payment. The label only hints at how it got there: an owner payoff, years of scheduled payments, a district like 1 or 2 with no outstanding bond assessments, or one of the nine Historic Section villages in Lake County, where no bond has ever existed. Because listings use the two phrases inconsistently, I run both searches on this page.
Yes — "no bond" removes only the bond line from the tax bill. The CDD maintenance assessment, any fire/rescue assessment, property taxes, homeowner's insurance, and the amenity fee of about $204 per month (early-2026 new-buyer rate) all continue.
Two routes: the district's published per-unit bond schedule at districtgov.org shows that unit's annual assessment and balance, and the district office can quote the exact payoff for a specific address. I pull both on every home we make an offer on.
It depends on the home. A bond an owner deliberately paid off is a selling point that may be reflected in the price; in the older neighborhoods, many homes simply retired the bond over the years with no premium attached. Compare the full picture: price, condition, location, county tax rate, and what a comparable home with a bond would actually cost you per year.
