Florida property taxes

CDD fee

Also called: Community Development District

In short

A Community Development District fee funds infrastructure in many newer Florida communities. It's billed with your property taxes and is separate from any HOA dues.

A Community Development District, or CDD, is a special-purpose local government that finances the roads, water, and amenities in many newer Florida developments. Homeowners in the district repay that cost through a CDD assessment.

The assessment usually appears on the annual property-tax bill and is separate from homeowners-association dues, which cover ongoing services. A community can have both, and together they add to the true monthly cost of owning there.

Because a CDD assessment can run for years and varies by community, it belongs in your budget from the start — and it's collected through the tax bill, so it flows through escrow like the rest of your taxes.
