Dues and Fees at Tampa Bay Golf and Country Club

There is a one time initiation fee of $2500.00. This initiation fee must be paid to become a golf member or a social member for all new residents or resale homes. This fee is paid at closing. It can be paid by the seller in a real estate transaction. This money is put into a fund for the future needs of the clubhouse. It can be decorating or repairs.

There are Homes Association Fees for the new construction homes of $238.00 per month. This fee includes all lawn maintenance for the homes. It includes use of the pool and the spa, tennis and shuffleboard and all social amenities. It pays for street lights, cable television, fertilization of the lawn, exterior bi-monthly pest control and road maintenance. It also pays for common area maintenance, the security guard gate, common area landscaping and pond irrigation maintenance.

For the resale homes there are many individual neighborhood communities throughout Tampa Bay Golf and Country Club. Each neighborhood determines their own dues for the neighborhood. Each homeowner pays the overall dues to the main Tampa Bay Community Association of $182.00 per month. This charge covers maintenance of the clubhouse and cable television. It also pays for street lights and road maintenance. In addition, most areas have dues that are in the neighborhood of $85 per month. This covers lawn maintenance and spraying. For the most part, $267.00.00 would be a good amount to plan on for your Homes Association Dues. It could vary a little by which neighborhood you choose. Some of the older neighborhoods do not include lawn maintenance in their fees and so they are lower.

There is a one time Homes Association Management Set Up Fee of $250 which is due at closing.

There are no CDD fees at Tampa Bay Golf and Country Club. Flood Insurance is not required. No impact fees are paid by the buyer. These are really big savings not to be overlooked.

A Community Development District (CDD) Fee is paid annually (added to your Property Tax bill in November) by all home-owners living in a master-planned development where a CDD has been formed to take care of the things that, in other developments, are taken care of by the local county, such as road and sidewalk maintenance, street lighting, storm drainage, etc. A CDD is a local, special-purpose governing body, authorized as an alternative method for managing and financing the infrastructure of a development. Not all developments have CDD fees. Tampa Bay Golf and Country Club DOES NOT HAVE THESE FEES. This is a big savings.

An annual full golf membership fee for a couple would be $1500.00. The annual full golf membership fee for a single would be $1200.00. There is a $800.00 three month full golf membership fee for a couple and a $650.00 three month full golf membership fee for a single. These are OPTIONAL and cover your golf so you pay no green fees during your year or your six months. If you don't play that much golf then you can just pay as you play.
