The amenity fee is set in the Declaration of Covenants, Condition and Restrictions for the Villages in the county of the real property and recorded in the official plat book.

Some excerpts from mine are: Article III "Each Owner hereby agrees to pay a monthly fee or charge (the "Contractual Amenities Fee") against each Homesite for the benefit and use of the recreation and other amenities in the amount per month set forth in such Owner's deed." "The monthly Contractual Amenities Fee as set forth in this section is based on the cost of living for the month of sale as reflected in the Consumer Price Index, U.S. Average of Items and Food, published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor (the Index). "There shall be an annual adjustment in the monthly Contractual Amenities Fee. The adjustment shall be proportional to the percentage increase or decrease in the Index. Each adjustment shal be in effect for the intervening one year period." There is more legalese language in that article but that is part of the what is recorded in the documents that you get when you are ready to buy in The Villages.

My fee is currently $130.
