Your Horizon West home payment might be higher than expected, and this single fee is usually why 🚩The CDD
A CDD (Community Development District) pays off the bond that built the neighborhood’s roads, utilities, and amenities.
But here’s what most buyers miss before making an offer:
👉Debt Portion: Pays down the bond and eventually falls off.
👉Operations & Maintenance: Covers upkeep and NEVER ends.
In areas like Waterleigh, this adds roughly $700–$2,000+ per year to your tax bill. Worse? Your lender counts this in your debt-to-income ratio, directly reducing how much home you qualify for.
Don't fall in love with a floor plan before checking the CDD fee!
