CDD assessments and HOA dues are different obligations. A CDD charge may appear on the property-tax bill and can include debt and operations, while an HOA collects dues under its governing documents for specified community services and reserves.
What to include in your estimate
Before buying, obtain the latest tax bill, CDD budget, HOA budget, reserve information and assessment history. Add both charges to the monthly ownership estimate and ask about pending increases or special assessments.
