I always thought HOAs were a ripoff. I'd be mad too if I found out what this lady found out.

I don't like homeowners associations, but oh well.

I get double whacked. I have an HOA AND a CDD fee to pay every month to the tune of about $403 monthly.

 

My HOA fee is $225 for the year

 

Yeah, but do you live here:

There is not swim and tennis, but I don't need that. My tennis center is right around the corner from me, and it's cheaper than paying a HOA fee to maintain tennis courts.

A pool would be nice to have, but honestly I'd rather save my money. That way I'll be able to get tickets to the SECCG and watch Auburn beat Florida 3 years in a row

 

My HOA is 250/yr and includes use of the outdoor pool, tennis courts, and basketball courts. Its also supposed to maintain the "common" grounds, but they only show up maybe once a month if that. I take turns with my neighbor cutting the grass between our yards thats considered common area.

and YES HOA's are a rip off
If I had the choice I would opt out of the HOA since I don't go to the pool or any of that stuff.

 

The majority of HOA fees around here are $300+ each month. I think that's just nuts. And that's on top of the ridiculous taxes, too.

 

I paid about $175 a quarter when I lived in Jersey. But they actually did a good job at keeping the place clean and tidy. I couldn't complain.

 

HoA fee to my building....and one to my community

its $$$

but it does support a lot of things, since we are fairly self contained.

 

It seems like the problem is that she does not have an HOA, but was paying monthly dues to the local golf club. I guess she didn't read the disclosures or notice the absence of an HOA when she bought the place.

 

Awww das some bullchit!

It'll be UF vs. LSU
