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 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.
A small pass-through property tax is included in your monthly lot rental fee, so you do not have any large tax bills to pay semi-annually.
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 at Estero Bay Village. There may be an independent resident HOA group that organizes and runs several activities and events in addition to community-sponsored activities.
