How They Compare
Wildlight or Tributary?
Wildlight and Tributary are the two communities that define new-construction Yulee, and they sit on opposite sides of I-95 with opposite ideas of what a master plan is for. Wildlight is Rayonier’s town-scale plan at I-95 and A1A: a walkable Town District with the company’s own headquarters, shops, the Wildlight Elementary and the UF Health campus inside it, Del Webb Wildlight’s 55+ section, Westerly Park, and new sections still releasing. Tributary is the conventional amenity plan on US-17 north of the interchange, built from 2021, with a clubhouse and resort pool, trails, and lot sizes and price points a step below Wildlight’s Town District homes.
The bill is where they differ most. Wildlight’s infrastructure is financed through the East Nassau Stewardship District, a special district rather than a Chapter 190 CDD; it appears as its own line on the Nassau County tax bill and the fees page carries the adopted-budget figures by product type. Tributary carries a community development district assessment on the same bill alongside its HOA. Both reset to your purchase price in the first November after closing, both ride the county’s 1.66% effective rate, and the live tables above show how the two trade today. On any specific home I pull the parcel’s bill so the district line is a number, not a guess.
Torn between them?
The right answer depends on commute, schools, HOA/CDD costs, and lifestyle — Krista has walked buyers through both for years and will tell you straight which fits your situation.
