One of the BEST Perks ABOUT LIVING IN THIS RETIREMENT COMMUNITY=YOU PAY NO PROPERTY TAXES!

The Indiana State General Assembly passed legislation to provide for a special form of living arrangement in age restricted communities - with a special provision within the law that exempts residents from paying property taxes!

The legislation does require that, in order to take advantage of this arrangement, title to the property remains in the not-for-profit corporation in the case of the Meridian Woods Retirement Community in Valparaiso, IN it is Pines Village Residential Communities, INC. (PVRC).

So, Instead of receiving a "deed", the 55 or older buyer enters into a Residency Agreement (Life Lease with Equity Interest).

  • Full use of enjoyment of a NEW Home!
  • Comprehensive maintenance and management of both your home and the entire community,
  • The safety and security of being affiliated with Porter County's premier retirement community management company.
  • A full range of comprehensive services provided within your monthly maintenance fee.
  • Access to all of Pines Village activities and services.
  • Use of meridian Woods Common Areas and facilities.
  • An Emergency Response System Within Each Residence.

Grace & Jeff....This looks to be an answer for many who are interested in this type of homestead.  Many amenities offered, too.  That snow removal at 2+" reads great to me right about now.  Though we are not interested in this type of living--it seems to beat some of the retirement-type offerings out there.  good for Indiana.
Do you represent this development--if so--best wishes for great sales.

This looks great I have a friend whose older parents live in the Indi area, I will refer her to this info in your blog.  I think this would  be an answer for many who want to still have a home and be independent without all the burdens of home maintenance.

Thanks for sharing:)
