Not complaining, but just wondering why folks that have been here the longest have fees that are more than newer residents.

It appears that the New Homeowner rate does not get increased every year. I believe the current rate is $179 so any home purchased this year will be set to $179. If it is not increased then any home purchased next year will also be set at $179. At the same time, the home purchased this year will have increase by about 10% and will be at about $196. The new home will be paying less than the one or two year old home.
Not a theory, that is exactly what happened when I purchased my home.
The $196 for the home less than one year may be due to adding a partial month for when the home changed hands. My first bill was quite high but then settled back to the New Homeowner rate in place at the time.
