We payed our bond off a couple years ago so only had the “maintenance”’ $498.
Fire Assessment $125.
Considering current inflation going on, I’m OK…

Ugh! First tax bill for me since buying a different house, mortgage free and bond paid off, and paying the tax directly instead of by escrow. Including the “maintenance” fee and fire, $3,400. Ouch! But it beats having a mortgage. So, that’s almost $300 a month, plus about $270 for amenities fee, water, and sewer, plus around $100 for electricity. That’s $670 a month. Home insurance on my courtyard villa brings that up to close to $900. I’m not complaining. It’s just interesting to me to see the numbers. I think most people here pay more.
