There are lots of MLS realtors outside TV real estate sales who would like to see a gripe like this b****ed about by a few hundred people for a week or so.
I think most of us who have lived 5 or more decades know we don't have to sign papers containing figures we don't agree with. We've always gotten an advance copy of our Settlement Statement accounting for every penny to be spent in a closing coming up for us. Also, TV sales reps do not get involved in the financial amounts the Closing Dept. puts together for the closing. To my knowledge, if a rep gives a bond amount like "2% or so", that is good enough because it's a ballpark figure that is close enough. |

These are not the Droids you are looking for...
Why do folks on this thread keep acting like the Agent did anything wrong? Unless I'm missing something, 3 folks have responded saying they did the math, and all 3 have agreed the Agent gave precisely the correct answer.
Jerseylady, if you pay 3%, maybe you would like to share your numbers so we can see why you are apparently paying 50% more than the rest of us. I know these terms were confusing to me when I bought; is it possible you included your amenities fee in the calculation instead of your maintenance fee?? |

How is it possible to do this if you're one of the first people in a new neighborhood? Even if you could see other people's tax bills, the first year's property taxes are only on the land and therefore just a portion of the full amount.

The rule of thumb of 2% is a good percentage to "estimate" what the annual r/e taxes and annual bond payments will be. I can not imagine that the Rep included maintenance.

The special assessment Maintenance is included ,,, it works for me

I have bought two new homes in TV inthe last three years. In my case the 2% is in the ballpark. Only if amenity fees are added do I get to nearly 3%

Doesn't matter if you look at the same neighborhood only if you look at the same county and then a home that is valued in the same range as yours. You might not be able to calculate the exact tax but you sure can come close.
