Millage Book 2025 · sampled 2025 bill

Association fees are billed separately by the association and are not part of this worked county example. Varies by lot and home; never a quote.

County roll math, one sampled tax bill and each association’s own published figures — we publish fee amounts only from official documents; amounts change annually and vary by home and exemptions. Never a quote, never tax advice.
