They were initially angry (several years ago) that they were annexed by North Port and not by Venice, which drove their property values down. Now it looks like they want to be unincorporated with Sarasota County providing all municipal services to the West Villages.

cannot annex without NP permission and would have to pay off over 200 million debt to NP. They will try and stack the commission and get the ok and release from debt. They want to be the new Lakewood Ranch !!!!!

Looks like when this happens NP jurisdiction about to get smaller then it already is. Unneeded traffic unit and the tank will have to be cut from the budget due to budget draw backs

The infrastructure in the West Villages was preexisting -- and was build and paid-for by the developer -- and those costs are reflected in the mortgages of each home. The City of North Port did not pay for any of the infrastructure in West Villages. Subsequently, where did this alleged 200 million in debt come from? Pray tell?

Deannexation looks very complicated -- and it looks like it favors the city, more than those who want to be deannexed. Not 100% sure though.

I think the City Attorney has been tasked with providing a high level outline of what the deannexation process might look like. I am looking to understand it better.

Hopefully she will do it in fat crayon format.

What is the legal status for the petition to "contract" or "de-annexation" or whatever the legal term is?
