Robin:

Our Homeowners Association dues (regulated by the CA Dept. of Real =
Estate) cover the costs you note except for maybe snow removal. They =
also include maintenance of the outsides of our privately owned homes =
(re-roofing and painting) and hence are variable with house size.

If I recall they run between $130 and $175 a month. (we are to move in =
this summer).

Subject:        On going costs

Hello all,

 We are in the midst of try to update our Pro forma, and questions have =
come up
about on going costs once the community is build.  Many folks are trying =
to
grapple with what their monthly expenses might look like.

I realize we have two basic questions:

One:  What are the categories of on going costs? =20

 I imagine there are;
taxes/insurance
Common house utilities
Maintenance roads, infrastructure and common facilities
On going landscaping
Snow removal [in our climate anyway]

Am I missing anything?

Second:  What kind of costs are groups seeing out there?

I understand Taxes will be highly variable as will utilities.   But it =
would be
nice to see what the range of monthly expenses looks like.

thanks in advance
