mea culpa, Cliff....I was one who erroneously answered that trash was part of amenity. Guess I was so focused on advising original poster they did not have to arrange for trash that I misplaced where it is billed.

The amenity fee is paid separately and includes pools, rec centers, exec golf; For newer neighborhoods it is about $130 per month.

In newer neighborhoods, you get a monthly bill that bundles water (potable and irrigation) and trash services. Trash services are approx $15/month; water is variable based on your usage.

Other monthly bills are Gas (if you have it), Electric, Phone (if you have a landline), TV (Comcast or Sat provider); other common services are Lawn Maintenance; Weed/Pest Control; Internet;
