The maintenance assessment is properly explained in the last couple of posts. We just got a notice in the mail that CDD1 (our district) is proposing a 15% increase in the annual assessment. I support the assessment and understand that with everything costing more there is a reasonable need for an increase. That being said, I find it disturbing that the required public meeting, providing those paying the assessment an opportunity to take part in public comments on the proposed assessments, is conveniently held during the summer when approximately half the homeowners aren’t in the Villages and can not attend. It seems like they are trying to sneak it through? Why not hold the meeting during the busy season and give the most homeowners possible a chance to be involved in the process?
