HOA and CDD

Did you know that you live in both an HOA and a CDD community?

A Homeowners Association (HOA) is a resident-run organization that manages shared spaces and enforces community rules. Homeowners pay dues to cover maintenance of common areas and services. The HOA is led by a board, often made up of elected volunteer homeowners, and may hire a management company to assist with operations.

Residents pay HOA dues separately on a quarterly basis via a property management company.

The HOA manages:

• Street parking waivers
• Vehicle gate clickers and pedestrian gate keys
• Landscaping concerns inside the gated community (including sprinkler issues)
• Violations of community covenants
• Manages requests for home and/or landscaping modifications (Please see DCCRs (Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions) and ARC (Architectural Review Committee) guidelines on Westcoast portal)
  • DCCRs found under Documents /Governing Documents /Rules and Regulation
  • ARC requests found under Documents/Forms

A Community Development District (CDD) is a special-purpose government entity created to plan, finance, construct, and maintain infrastructure and community facilities in a specific development or neighborhood — often in newer residential communities. A CDD is responsible for things like: Stormwater management, water and sewer systems, community amenities (clubhouses, pools, etc.).

The CDD handles these services during early development and continues to maintain them after the developer leaves.

Residents pay the CDD through special assessments on their property tax bill.

The CDD manages:

• Pool issues
• Pool and Cabana access cards
• Reserving the Cabana
• Concerns about exterior entrances and dog parks
