The $40k has nothing to do with an HOA. Every state I've ever lived in required developers to install infrastructure (roads, water, sewer, electric, etc.) for a development. That USUALLY gets factored/added into the base price of the house. In TV, it is debt attached to the land that you don't have to finance or pay up front. One way or another, EVERY homeowner always pays the cost of the infrastructure. Here it's just split out into a bond. I prefer this way, since I don't need to pay up front for it.
