Neither the bond principal or interest payments are deductible because they are included on the non-ad valorem part of the tax bill. For taxes or interest to be deductible they need to be based on the value of the house (ad-valorem), such as a home mortgage. The bond money is used to build the common area infrastructure, and has no direct correlation with the actual value of your house. Therefore, it is not deductible.
