As was stated, it is CDD 15. We in CDD 14 (I am in Newell) was supposed to get a 56% increase in this annual fee in 2025. I have a designer home and in 2024 paid $546 annually. The full increase would have taken me to $837 - an increase of $301. While that is a really high, CDD 13 will pay $833 - virtually the same. Still, the amount of the revised increase after The Developer contributed $2M will be approximately 20% ($643 - up $107). This fee normally increases every year due to inflation, expected replacement of shrubs, etc.; CDD 13 had a 15% increase for 2025. I personally think there should be a 20% cap.
The maintenance fees cover lawn care for the public areas NOT on the property of recreation and other facilities owned by The Villages - roadsides, ponds, entries to Verandas, etc. It also is for the flowers and scrubs planted - and replanted - in these same areas and along walking trails (CDD 14 has no MMPs - we drive our golf carts inches away from speeders heading to the Florida Turnpike). The fee also covers weed and pest control.
NOTE: These dollar amounts are actual - rounded to the nearest dollar. The comparison was of my designer house (CDD 14 - Unit 44) with a designer home in Citrus Grove (CDD 13 - Unit 58).
