I'll give it a try. Every home has a monthly accessment. A new villager would pay $145 per month per household. The CDD accessment is billed once a year on your tax bill. This pays for flowers, landscape in common areas, retention ponds, etc. This amount varies by which section you live in but mine runs around $570 per year. My guess is that when you see a monthly budget figure the $196 you reference is the $145 plus 1/12 of the annual accessment. Have I confused you enough?

My opinion is that it is the best deal around. We get a tremendous value for $145 per month plus the annual accessment.
