Who is responsible for insuring all the amenities?
 

HOA's all over Florida are in big trouble due to rising insurance rates. Who is responsible for insuring all of TV Rec centers, Executive courses, Pools, Gaming courts, Golf cart paths in the event they are damaged by storms etc?

If that is supposed to be a click on link, it doesn't work.

There are 3 different entities responsible for this, VCCDD, SLCDD, and the developer. North of 466 the VCCDD via the RAD is responsible. Between 466 and 44 the amenities are owned by the SLCDD so the responsibility falls to them via the SLAD. South of 44 the developer still owns the amenities so the are responsible.

That would depend upon who owns it....Village Center CDD, Sumter Landing CDD, The individual CDD's or the developer who still owns most of the amenity facilities south of 44.

So, is there any responsibility paid directly by the residents that could be raised, like required by HOA's? Also how does someone find out the balances held to secure the infrastructure?

Aww, you're no fun.

We didn't want a clear, well informed answer. We wanted something to argue about until this thread, like all others, would deteriorate into complaints about dog poop and bad drivers going thru roundabouts.

No, it can’t come back on the residents due to the structure of the deed restrictions, they are very specific on how amenity fees/rates can be raised. The residents have no ownership of the amenities only a contractual agreement with the owning entities as stated in the deed restrictions.

Budgets and financial statements for the areas north of 44 are available at districtgov.org under the PWAC & SLCDD for the 466-44 area and RAD & VCCDD for north of 44.
For the area south of 44 that information is not available as they are owned by a privately held company and they are not required to disclose the information.

Sorry to spoil the party.

Thanks..
 

Thanks Don you are the best! :bigbow:

I would imagine as large and well funded as the Villages is, that they are self insured.

Some of the issues that the HOA’s are facing are related to the distance they are from the water. Another problem for some that you may be hearing about in the news is because of legislation that was passed that required engineering inspections on condo buildings 3 stories or higher within 3 miles of the water. Once the inspection is done the HOA budgets must be fully funded to address all repairs called in the report. This is a summary of what is expected. This has raised some issues for HOA ‘s where the repairs are more than the current value of the units.

TV doesn't have HOA's...... GWN explained it very well IMO.
