I just consider all three of those fees as the taxes on the property since I'm paying once a year in a lump sum.

Here's a breakdown of my March 11th amenity bill, I live here full time and water the shrubs and trees by hand and use irrigation just a few minutes a week:

Water base $10.07
Water use (3300 gallons) $7.10
Irrigation base $6.75
Irrigation use (420 gallons) .98
Sewage base $14.34
Sewage use $16.96
Amenity Fee 155.94
Sanitation collection $22.94

Total $235.24
I wouldn't call that an amenity bill. It is a services bill that amenity is a part of.
