I was looking at The Villages website on the cost of living. It says that the amenity fee is $179. My current fee is $164. Does anyone know if it is going up to $179 this year??

I think the fee goes up every year by the cost of living (i think the consumer price index). Also, the amenity fee is increasing for new construction.

CPI for Nov was 6.8% - so $164 *1.068 = $175.

Which bear? Why he or she or it in the woods to begin with? I have no idea what it does when it is in the woods. The only thing I'm fairly sure of is the Pope is Catholic.

Read it in today's daily Sun for new and resales as of the first of the year.

Definitely amenities fees are going up to $179.00 mo. for new and resale homes. The Developer controls and “pulls the trigger” on this increase. I understand the control on new homes but the resales seems a stretch. However, it’s probably in the “fine print” we signed somewhere. No needs to fret over something which we have no control. Fore…

Does that mean that it will not go up to $179 for those of us who currently own?

That is correct. Current owner's fees are tied to the CPI.

I'm guessing that as the cost maintaining our amenities goes up, so will the fees. Cost of living, ya know.

[MrFlorida]

Yes, mine went up as well...

Not immediately.

Your amenity fee will go up every year, in the anniversary month of when you bought, by the CPI index percentage.

So in a few years your fee will be more than $179.
