HOA, CDD & the cost of living here

How much are Sunchase HOA fees?

The available Pulte-branded fee sheet is dated December 9, 2025. It shows monthly HOA dues of $262.41–$278.87 before amenities and restaurant, and $402.66–$419.95 afterward, depending on collection. These are historical published figures, not a verified current quote. The table below preserves the collection-specific amounts and document date.

What is included in the HOA—and what is not?

The published sheet covers community facilities, common areas, roads, gate monitoring, homesite landscaping/irrigation maintenance and bulk internet/streaming. It does not establish roof replacement or home exterior maintenance. The reviewed August 2026 community addendum separately assigns the homeowner the reclaimed irrigation-water bill, as well as potable water/sewer and gas charges. Maintenance of the irrigation system is different from paying for the water.

What is the $500 restaurant charge?

The older fee sheet identifies a $500 annual food-and-beverage charge once Beachwood Tap is operating. Do not assume it is a refundable dining credit, a spend minimum, or a fee already included in monthly dues. Obtain the current restaurant policy and billing treatment before adding it to a budget.

How much is the CDD assessment?

The adopted FY2027 budget contains a projected Phase 1 assessment table: $1,380.86 annually for 40-foot lots, $1,649.65 for 50-foot lots and $2,052.83 for 60-foot lots. That fiscal year runs October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. Future phases do not have homeowner totals in that table. Verify your exact parcel, rather than apply these figures community-wide.

Is the CDD part of the HOA or property tax?

The CDD and HOA are separate. The CDD is a public special-purpose district; the HOA is the community association. The reviewed purchase disclosure says CDD non-ad valorem charges can appear separately on the county tax bill. When a lender escrows them with taxes, avoid counting them twice in your monthly budget.

Can HOA and CDD charges increase?

Yes. The FY2027 Phase 1 projection is $61.20 higher per lot annually than the FY2026 comparison. The contract’s community disclosure also anticipates HOA budget changes, possible special assessments and changing closing fees. Neither an early budget nor an advertised monthly payment promises a fixed long-term obligation.

What extra association charges can appear at closing?

The reviewed community addendum provides for an operating-capital contribution and management-company estoppel, transfer and other fees. It does not supply a universal dollar total. Ask for each charge, who receives it, whether it is refundable, and whether any builder credit can cover it. Add association prorations and prepaid/escrow items to cash needed at closing.

Why might the tax bill rise after buying a new home?

Florida values real property as of January 1. A prior bill may reflect land or an unfinished improvement rather than your completed home. Use the Manatee Property Appraiser’s estimator for the actual parcel and expected value. A seller’s old bill, or an early lender escrow estimate, is not a reliable forecast of your stabilized bill.

How does Florida homestead work in 2026?

For a qualifying permanent residence, the first exemption is up to $25,000. Florida DOR lists the 2026 additional, non-school exemption as up to $26,411, applied above the relevant assessed-value threshold. Establish qualifying residency by January 1 and generally apply by March 1. A seasonal home should not be budgeted as automatically eligible.

Can I bring my Save Our Homes benefit with me?

A qualifying Florida homeowner may transfer an assessment difference through portability, subject to timing, a $500,000 cap and proportional treatment when downsizing. It is not a transfer of the old tax bill. Apply for portability as well as homestead and have the Property Appraiser calculate your situation.

What should my complete monthly budget include?

Include principal and interest if financed, completed-home property taxes, CDD once, HOA at the applicable amenity stage, homeowners/flood coverage, utilities, any separate dining charge, maintenance reserves and lifestyle spending. Divide annual costs by 12 for comparison, but keep their actual due dates on a cash-flow calendar. Cash buyers still have every ownership cost other than mortgage principal and interest.
