Residents have full access to all of the resort-style amenities and community-sponsored activities and no additional community HOA fees (some communities have a resident-formed and managed HOA and they may require some small fee for being a member) or resort fees, everything is included in the monthly lot rent. You will be living with friendly neighbors and have the support of your Village management team.
When it comes to moving into a lifestyle community, there are a lot of things to consider. Living at a Cove Community provides you an opportunity to purchase a beautifully appointed vacation home or year-round home, while freeing up money so that you can make the most of this new lifestyle choice.
Yes, purchasing your home at a Cove land lease community provides you with the peace of mind that you own your own home, but you don’t have to spend the money on buying the land and paying large annual real estate taxes.
Camelot Lakes Village has Non-Ad Valorem and Ad Valorem assessments that are similar to property tax; these amounts are included in your monthly fees and run about $100 per month.
Yes, you can rent out your home. You will need the operator’s written permission to do so before entering into a site agreement and the renters have to comply with the terms and conditions set out in the agreement signed by the homeowner. These include caring for the premises and reporting the need for any repairs and maintenance, paying utility bills on time, not using the premises for illegal purposes, and not interfering with the peace, comfort, or privacy of neighbors.
There is no community ownership-run HOA. There is an independent resident HOA group that organizes and runs a number of activities and events in addition to community-sponsored activities. The HOA also serves as a negotiating group relative to lot rent.
