Close, the Amenity Fee has an annual CPI adjustment that determines how much it can go up year over year. You are however correct on the Maintenance Assessment; it is not limited like property taxes (Florida Save Our Homes Act) but instead changes with the expenses each year of the individual CDDs.

Here's a link to a YouTube playlist of videos that explain the fees here in The Villages.

Carpe diem quam minimum credula postero
Society is produced by our wants, and government by wickedness; the former promotes our happiness positively by uniting our affections, the latter negatively by restraining our vices. - Thomas Paine, 1/10/1776
