HOA & CDD Breakdown

Understanding Your True Monthly Costs

CDD vs. HOA:HOA fees cover community amenities and maintenance. CDD assessments are a separate tax-like charge that pays for infrastructure built by the developer. CDDs appear on your property tax bill and are not optional.

Pro Tip:When comparing homes, calculate total monthly cost including HOA + CDD + property taxes + insurance. A lower-priced home with high fees costs more monthly than a pricier home with no HOA.

Flood Zones & Insurance Impact

What Every Buyer Must Know

🔴 🔴 Zone AE (High Risk)

Limited flood zones. Codfish Brook area has mapped zones.

🟡 🟡 Zone X-Shaded (Moderate Risk)

Minimal shaded flood zones.

🟢 🟢 Zone X (Minimal Risk)

Majority of town in Zone X with low risk.

Insurance Tip:Homeowners insurance averages $900-$1,200 annually. Flood insurance not typically required.
