HOA and CDD fees in Country Club East
On top of your mortgage and property taxes, here is what Country Club East asks of you every month, and who takes care of the outside of your home.
- CDD, Country Club East carries one. It is an infrastructure assessment collected on your annual property tax bill rather than on the HOA invoice, which is why it catches people by surprise. The line on your tax bill is the Lakewood Ranch Stewardship District assessment rather than a numbered community CDD. That district covers most of Lakewood Ranch, and it is why a builder can tell you there is no CDD here and still be right while an assessment arrives anyway. It usually carries two parts, one for operations and one for the bond that paid to put the infrastructure in the ground.
- Lawn and exterior upkeep, this one depends on which neighbourhood you land in. Some inside Country Club East are maintenance free and some are not, so it is worth pinning down for the specific address. Country Club East's own residents' manual puts roughly a quarter of its twenty neighbourhoods outside the maintenance free arrangement, so those owners hire their own landscaper.
Fees shift by home type and they change year to year, so I would rather give you real numbers than a guess. Once you find a place in Country Club East you love, I will pull the current estoppel and we will look at the exact figures for that home together.
