Yes, really true.
This is covered in 4.1(a) and 4.1(b) of my deed restrictions. (a) says that a new owner will be obligated to pay the prevalent rate in effect. 4.1(b) says the amenity fee for existing homeowners will increase with the CPI. Unless the prevalent rate is recalculated each year to increase by the CPI, the existing homeowner is likely to always be behind the new purchaser.
(Now if only I could find the rate for the Villages of Sumter)
