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


Well, that would mean that my current rate of $165 a CPI increase of about 8.5% would put me at about $179. Not likely but.....

Yes, they will never go down. So say only if you buy new or resale. But in my district it went up anyway. So far pretty good bargain, but we see in couple years of inflation?

Also they removed the cap so it can go up any time.

#2. The word " is" is problematic. Pres. Bc said, " it depends upon what the definition of is, is". So i think that clears it all up.

Yea, they will probably continue to go up as things keep getting older. I hope nobody really thought the adult play toys would get cheaper. TV say there’s 2,000 things to do there plus clubs. Nobody really thought amenities would get cheaper did they. Everybody will get to old to do anything TV offers, then it’ll get expensive to pay to do nothing. Remember TV have expenses too!

TOTV is a great forum. I read it every day but for factual info I recommend you go to the source. While several answers to this were correct, you could go to
District Customer Service Center at (352) 753-4508 or stop by the office at 984 Old Mill Run in downtown Lake Sumter Landing.

When is the increase calculated?

If its Dec, CPI went up by 7% in Dec 2021 - so your $164 amenity fee isn’t going to $179 - it’s only going to $175.

Thanks for the transparency. which is needed before we look to buy at the villages.
