Census geography identifies The Villages CDP across Sumter and Marion Counties. The broader community also includes homesites in the Town of Lady Lake and part of unincorporated Lake County. These area descriptions are not a parcel or court-venue determination: check the exact property’s county, municipal boundary, and applicable district before relying on an office route.
See the Census place geography and the CDD’s Lady Lake and Lake County overview; neither is a parcel lookup. Property valuation, unpaid taxes, recorded deeds, and court judgments also go to different offices, listed below.
If you are weighing a sale, compare the local situation pages, guide, article, and calculator below. Call 888-274-5006 or send the property address and ask for a cash offer.
Local records and offices
These are county routing references, not parcel findings or a promise of walk-in service. Use the Property Appraiser for assessment and valuation, the Tax Collector for tax search and payment, and the Clerk’s matching records or court route for deeds and cases. Confirm the property’s county and the service available before visiting.
Sumter County · assessments, valuation, and property records
Use the Property Appraiser for assessed value, assessment records, and parcel or property-record questions. That is different from paying an unpaid property-tax bill, recording a deed, or checking a court case.
Sumter County · property-tax search and payment
Use the Tax Collector for property-tax search and payment information. If a balance or payoff matters to a sale, confirm it for the specific parcel; no parcel balance was checked for this page.
The official site lists a Villages Sumter Service Center. Check its current service information before visiting.
Sumter County · probate, Official Records, foreclosure, and tax-deed routes
Use Probate for estate filings and Official Records for recorded deeds and other recorded documents. The foreclosure and tax-deed pages cover separate court and sale routes. For a court judgment, start with the court or case route named on the notice; that is not a property-appraisal or tax-payment task.
The Clerk lists its Villages Annex at 8033 E CR-466, The Villages, FL 32162 as “Limited Services.” Confirm that the specific service you need is offered there before visiting.
Sumter County · permitting, inspections, certificate requests, and code complaints
Use Building Services for permit, inspection, and certificate-request questions, and Code Enforcement for a county code complaint. The County describes service areas for these functions, so check whether the exact property is covered before relying on the county route.
Marion County · property assessment and valuation
Use the Property Appraiser for Marion County assessment, valuation, and property-record questions. For paying property taxes, use the Tax Collector instead.
Marion County · property-tax payment information
Use the Tax Collector for Marion County property-tax payment questions. Confirm any current balance or payoff for the exact parcel directly with the office.
Marion County · probate, Official Records, foreclosure sales, tax deeds, and evictions
Use Probate for estate matters and Official Records for recorded deeds and other recorded documents. The Clerk also lists foreclosure-sale, tax-deed, and eviction routes. Court cases and recorded land documents are different searches; use the route that matches the document or case you have.
Lake County · property assessment and valuation
Use the Property Appraiser for Lake County assessment, valuation, and property-record questions. Property-tax payment questions go to the Tax Collector.
Lake County · property-tax payment information
Use the Tax Collector for Lake County property-tax payment questions. Confirm the balance for the exact parcel directly with the office; this page does not check a parcel account.
Lake County · probate, Official Records, foreclosure, tax-deed, and landlord/tenant case routes
Use the Clerk’s probate and court pages for case routing, its Official Records page for recorded deeds and other recorded documents, and its foreclosure, tax-deed, and landlord/tenant pages for those separate matters. A court judgment and a recorded deed are not the same record.
A Florida sale-cost rule
Florida’s deed documentary stamp tax is 70¢ per $100 of consideration, or any fraction of $100, in most counties. Miami-Dade has a different rate. Florida says all parties to a deed are legally liable even if the contract assigns payment to one party, so ask the title or closing company to confirm the amount, any exemption, and the written allocation for your sale.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Florida documentary stamp tax and, where applicable, the Miami-Dade deed surtax. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

Check the actual parcel’s county, municipal boundary, and applicable district first. Census geography places The Villages CDP across Sumter and Marion Counties, while the wider community area also includes homesites in Lady Lake and part of unincorporated Lake County. Those descriptions do not determine a specific parcel or court venue.
Use the Property Appraiser for assessment, valuation, and parcel-record questions. Use the Tax Collector for property-tax search and payment questions. The page links the Sumter, Marion, and Lake County offices separately; confirm the property’s county and any current balance with the office.
Use the county Clerk’s Official Records route for recorded deeds and other recorded land documents. A court judgment is a case-record question, so start with the court or case route named on the judgment or notice. Property valuation, tax payment, recorded documents, and court cases are different tasks.
The Sumter Clerk lists its Villages Annex at 8033 E CR-466, The Villages, FL 32162, and marks it “Limited Services.” Confirm that the specific service you need is offered there before visiting.
