Many Parrish neighborhoods have both HOA dues and CDD assessments, so we check these details with you line by line:
Tax bill and assessments. Ask for the latest property tax bill and check for CDD, stewardship district or other special assessments. Florida taxes also reset after a sale.
Association documents. Review the HOA budget, reserves, what the dues cover, and the leasing, pet and architectural rules before your inspection period ends. Condos and some neighborhoods have an extra association.
Insurance and flood zone. Get insurance quotes, and flood quotes where needed, before you're under contract. Flood zones are assigned home by home. Our post on whether Florida home insurance rates are coming down explains the current picture.
