Default Re: TOPIC FOR DISCUSSION AMENITY FEES

Scooter,

My understanding, although not sure I ever saw it in blood/writing, is that once your fee is established, it cannot increase more than 3% a year. That doesn't mean that new owners (of either new houses or resales) won't have a much higher starting rate than someone who bought a year ago, but, once you establish your base, increase is limited to 3% a year.

So, in answer to how high it can go, do the math at 3% a year on top of what you're paying now and you can presumably project out a worst case fee.

I, too, am surprised that a new owner would have a $160/month amenity. That seems like too much of a jump in the past year. Dicky, Stiles, gfMucci, other recent buyers....what amenity fee are you paying?
