Trash pick up and sewer use is on the same bill as water and amenity fees. Sumter Utilities

You will receive your CCD bill for amenities, trash, water, sewer, sprinkler all on one bill showing each individual charge

That is all not paid each month. The bond and taxes are paid in November. The insurance is paid separately to whatever insurance company you deal with. Your MONTHLY charges should be around $300.00.

Not so much
 

It's actually really inexpensive for FL - go look around or make calls to other over 55 communities in the area. I have friends who live both north and south of TV in other age-related communities - one of them pays well over $600/mo for the same services. Ours averages about $260, but our house is larger. TV, for all it offers, is incredibly reasonable.

Back to topic - can you get your $2500 back.

When we purchased in 2015, it was made very clear, both by our agent and by reading older TOTV post that the developer was very strict about their sales policies. I recall a thread when buyer said they lost their $18,000 / 10% down because they backed out for medical reasons.

My advice, ask your sales agent, not us on TOTV and more important read the documentation defining what occurs with the $2500. I would also look carefully for words like "non-refundable" and would take the written word as the real answer.

Years ago you could get the deposit back within three to 10 days. After that time period you could only apply it to another new home purchase.

They will hold it. Do not know for sure if you would get money back.

No I believe you can not get a refund as i recall--and I bought in December

Why would you put a deposit on a house, then ask what the costs are ? You need to talk to your agent .

I would ask your Sales Representative, they would be able to answer better than anyone on this forum.

Typically you can apply the deposit to another home, whether existing or new a home.

That is why due diligences is extremely important before you put money down.
 

explain what that $2500 gives you and why they won't give it back.

Thanks very helpful
