Also, do you have golf cart insurance, home insurance, sink whole insurance, flood insurance (hurricane stuff), etc.? Any other surprises in costs in your experience? I looked in a lot of places and the answers are different wherever you look. I want to understand the categories and the approximate costs. Thanks in advance for your help!!!

Pine Hills is in Lake County-Fruitland Park go on the lake county website. They have a tax estimator, and you can estimate what your taxes will be. then add the advolurms and the Bond and the neighborhood maintenance.
The home we looked at I think had a 30K ? or maybe 28K
Bond. the sales agent can give you the exact amount or the yearly payment. They will usually say they do not know...make them look it up...its important information they should have that information at every open house.
Then you also have to add the
neighborhood yearly maintenancefee....differs in every neighborhood. Pine Hills where I was looking at a Creekwood was $800? a year, on your taxes.
Then you have your monthly
amenity fee $145....
Insurance differs, shop around.
Good luck with your search, its half the fun.
