Default Re: Amenities fees

pili...lots of prior discussion about amenity fees...you can do a site search.

In short, exec golf, rec centers, pools (neighborhood, family, sports pools....not the country club pools), sports equipment; part of the amenity fee goes towards paying for the purchase of the recreation facilities and golf courses from the developer; part goes towards operations and maintenance of these facilities.

things I'm not sure about on source of funding...polo field and softball complexes...though my guess is they are supported by the amenity fee (as well as deriving revenue from concessions, entry fees, league fees, etc.)

The wellness center is a separate facility located near the hospital; 3 of the amenity supported regional rec centers have fitness equipment but there is a fee to use them.

not covered: the multi-modal trails (that's under CDD maintenance)

and not the entertainment...that's paid by commercial property owners

At a current max of about $135/month for amenities I still think it's a bargain

Hope this helps....
