Generally, the adjustment anniversary date is the original land sale date so fee adjustment dates will be different for each property. I just can’t figure why such a big difference from least to most.

I’m not complaining, I just like to play with numbers, but can’t figure out how this works. Guess I’ll contact district and ask them.
Post #2 mentions resales. I've heard that too: when a house is resold the amenity fee is recalculated according to some kind of formula. But whatever it is, $201 is incredibly cheap for all that TV has to offer. We have friends in a retirement village up in the panhandle who pay over $650 a month for a golf course, couple of tennis courts, landscaping and an ocean view!
