Everyone understood there is a cost/acre to mow, grounds care, etc., but TV should have been able to provide good faith non-binding estimates to home purchasers of the final amounts. Personally, it would have been nice to "see" this coming, but it wouldn't have impacted our decision to buy and build where we did. So, maybe disclosures should include estimates of likely increases as a CDD is built out or just an estimate of CDD maintenance fees on buildout.
Don't think it would have made a difference....the non-binding estimates would translate to "when we bought our house we were told ........". Followed by "Gary Morse is rolling in his grave" followed by "It's all about being greedy", followed by "The kids are ruining TV. Not sure that the CDD 14 commissioners were even in place to be able to do what you are asking.
