Where Do My Property Tax Dollars Go?

Where Do Taxes Go Feature

I received the following question from a resident recently:

“What percentage of my property taxes go to pay for the clubhouse?”

It’s election season, so as per usual there tends to be quite a bit of misinformation flying around. I’m putting this together to hopefully provide some info and to correct some misunderstandings.

The short answer to this question is ZERO. Not a single dollar of your property taxes goes to the clubhouse.
