What are the benefits of an HOA and a CDD?
HOA Benefits:
Maintains Property Values: By enforcing rules that ensure homes are well-kept and aesthetically pleasing, the HOA helps maintain or increase property values within the community.
Consistency and Order: The HOA ensures that the community remains orderly and that properties do not fall into disrepair, keeping the neighborhood attractive for current and future homeowners.

Protection of Interests: The HOA can help protect homeowners' interests by enforcing rules that prevent disruptive behaviors, such as unsightly properties that could affect the enjoyment of their homes.
CDD Benefits:
Upfront Infrastructure Development: Homeowners benefit from a well-planned community with high-quality infrastructure that may have otherwise been difficult to finance.
Long-term Maintenance and Care: CDDs are tasked with ensuring the upkeep of the community, which can help maintain property values over time.
What is a CDD and how does it work?
What is a CDD?: A Community Development District (CDD) is a special-purpose government entity that exists to finance, manage, and maintain infrastructure and services in certain communities. It is commonly set up by developers in new or planned communities, especially those with amenities like parks, roads, water management systems, and other common areas.
How does a CDD work?:
Funding Infrastructure: The CDD collects funds from homeowners through annual assessments, which are used to pay off bonds issued for building and maintaining the community's infrastructure, such as roads, utilities, and recreational facilities. These assessments are paid annually through your property taxes.
Operation and Maintenance: The CDD is responsible for maintaining common areas, landscaping, and amenities like pools, tennis courts, basketball courts, dog parks, clubhouses, etc.
Payment: CDD fees are collected as part of the homeowner’s county tax bill and the county tax collector’s office can assist with any questions related to making a payment. The fiscal year's operating budget is posted on the CDD website, which provides detailed information about the CDD fees.
