Just starting? you have a lot of patience.

Are you positive it isn't them? :shrug:

You and your wife's experience very closely resembles how my wife and I came to be homeowners here in TV. Visiting friends, then renting, then buying. I was pretty much sold many years ago when I first drove up Morse from 466A (before there was any Villages development south of 466A), and seeing the golf courses on either side of Morse. My wife wasn't sold on the place until many years later, after we rented a couple of winters. Now she loves it and occasionally will even tell me I was "right". (Wow! just wow.)

One really learns a lot by renting for a season or longer. I got past the "honeymoon" delirium, but still found it worthwhile, and my wife moved past her misgivings about the place to deciding it was a good place for our winter migrations. We sort of met in the middle.

In addition to the big question about whether TV was right for us at all, we learned a lot about what kind of home, neighborhood, etc. we'd want to buy into.

That kind of rental experience fits well into the overall TV model. I certainly wouldn't want to be next door to a revolving door **** rental unit.

Dealing with "patients" for close to 40 years tends to give one "patience"... :icon_wink:

Will need to create new agency and call it "Village Enforcement" and they will need to enforce all of the BNB Operations, golf cart speeders, independently investigate Morse Blvd cart vs car accidents, enforce crosses and other similar things, monitor all round abouts, etc and all at a cost which will not increase amenity fees by no more than $5.00 a household.

Oh Boy. Smh

There isn't any arbitrary increasing of the amenity fee. The amenity fee changes according to the CPI, as per your deed restrictions.

Not if they add more functions that add to expenses

Youve been on a lot longer than me....you never know whos kidding and who isn't ;)

Well, "Sarcasm" -is- my 2nd language, so...

Doubtful. You have some language that supports that assertion?

I have this language in my deed restrictions:

4.1(c) Each Owner agrees that as additional facilities are requested by the Owner, and the erection of such additional facilities is agreed to by the Developer, that upon a vote of 1/2 of the Owners approving such additional facilities and commensurate charges therefore, the monthly Contractual Amenities Fee provided for herein shall be increased accordingly. For the purpose of all votes, the Developer shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each Homesite owned by the Developer.

Additional facilities -> additional costs -> increased amenities fee. Of note, the addition of these facilities must be approved by 1/2 of the owners so not exactly arbitrary.

Yes, my deed restrictions say that. It isn't clear to me that a facility is the same as a service since they use the term "erection", such as building something. What is being discussed is a service and not a facility. Regardless, the CDDs cannot arbitrarily increase the amenity fee unless additional facilities are requested by the owners and agreed to by 1/2 the owners. I have lived here for 10 years and have never seen that happen. Good luck with that.

This thread and any additional costs have no connection to amenities fees. The numbered CDDs have nothing to do with amenities fees - they don't levy amenities fees, they don't receive amenities fees, and they don't spend amenities fees.

This thread has to do with the possibility of numbered CDDs taking on additional duties.The activities of the numbered CDDs are funded through the annual maintenance fee.

Amenities fees can be increased beyond the CPI adjustment as detailed in the deed restrictions. However, since the topic of this thread has nothing to do with additional amenities, the topic of this thread cannot result in an increase in amenities fees.

I never said the numbered CDDs. I was also responding to the post suggesting that the amenity fee could be increased by $5 for an additional service. It can't. Reread my post.

Just trying to tie things together for anyone who has become lost in all the extraneous information.

I read and understood your post. I even agreed with it to a point. What I didn't understand was the post you responded to, it seemed like an April Fool's joke.
