Amenity Fees
 

I live in the village of St. James. I thought my Amenity Fees were topped at $155.00 with the change that took place last year. I now see that The Villages has increased the Amenity fees in February to $158.18. An increase of $3.84. Did I miss something or is there no more caps on Amenity Fees.

:ho: You missed something.

From District Web Site:
"If you need the assistance of a customer service representative to understand your bill or any of these charges, please call 352-750-0000."

Amenity Information

Amenity charges are contractual charges billed monthly in advance as part of the combined bill that is sent by VCDD Utilities.

The contractual amenity fees provide funding for Villages Public Safety, Community Watch, recreation centers, pools and services, gate and postal station facility maintenance, water retention areas, Village Center Community development common areas, Sumter Landing Community Development common areas and the executive golf course operations and maintenance.

The contractual agreement does provide for the amenity fee to be adjusted by the increase/decrease in the Consumer Price Index (CPI).

The Consumer Price Index is reported monthly by the US Department of Labor, Bureau of Statistics and measures inflation as experienced by consumers in the day to day living expenses.

This adjustment is based upon the provisions found in each individual homeowner’s deed covenant. Generally, the adjustment anniversary date is the Original Land Sale Date, thus your adjustment may not occur at the same time as your neighbors.

:ho: Thread from about 1 year ago on the subject. GWN gives a lot of good information. :coolsmiley:
