A CDD is not an HOA, and the difference costs money
An HOA is a private association. It maintains the amenities, it can raise your dues, and it can levy a special assessment — but it is a contract between neighbours.
A CDD is a unit of local government created under chapter 190 of the Florida Statutes. It issued bonds to build the roads, the drainage and the utilities before the first house was sold, and your lot carries a share of that debt. Three consequences buyers from out of state consistently miss:
- It arrives on your property tax bill, not as a separate invoice — so it does not appear in the HOA figure the sales office quotes you.
- It is not optional and not negotiable. It runs with the lot.
- Part of it can often be paid off in a lump sum, and part of it — the operations and maintenance portion — cannot. Ask for both figures separately.
What the numbers look like across the catalog
Of the 938 Florida new-construction communities we track, 152 publish an HOA fee and 111 publish a CDD. The medians: $194 a month for the HOA, $168 a month for the CDD, and $392 a month combined in the 108 communities that have both.
Where these numbers come from
Our own catalog of 938 Florida new-construction communities, built from what the builders publish on their own community pages and refreshed monthly. 152 publish an HOA fee and 111 a CDD; the rest publish neither, which is not the same as not having one. CDDs are created under chapter 190 of the Florida Statutes.
