Default Amenity Fees and the "Cap"

Great explanation Don. You always have the information but there will always people who can't/won't understand. People need to be realistic, everything goes up and if you want to keep the amenities we enjoy, ALL of us need to fund them. If you don't understand how amenity fees differ in your neighborhood, head up to the District Office, they explained it to me very simply, the Amenity Fees vary widely in TV due to the "Beginning Amenity Fee" is tied to purchase date of your property. The original purchase date of our home was Dec 2020. We purchased the home in May 2022, and at that time I believe the Amenity Fee was $179 (and change), in December 2022, our Amenity Fee increased to $193.79. In December of 2023, our Amenity Fee increased to $200.89 and in December 2024 our Amenity Fee increased to $205.97. So we are paying more than some of our neighbors who have owned their homes since 2020 because of our purchase date in 2022. Still a good deal to us.
