$140/month is your amenity fee.... that covers rec centers, exec golf, pools, and village watch.
approx 60% of the $140 pays off bonds for the original cost of building the rec centers, golf courses, pools etc. The other 40% pays for ongoing operation, maintenance and staffing of these amenity facilities.
Amenities = fun stuff = monthly fee
CDD Maintenance = infrastructure and common areas (street lights, sidewalks, common area landscaping and irrigation, multimodal trails, etc) = annual assessment on property tax bill.
Clear as mud, right?
For everyone out there, newbies and wannabees, if you haven't already been, please consider attending the CDD orientation session -- held every Thursday at 10am at Sumter Landing District Offices across from Laurel Manor.
