and the city.
SID FEES - All Summerlin residents (with the exception of Sun
City residents) pay an annual assessment known as Special Improvement
District. When Summerlin was first developed, Del Webb built all the infrastructure
including major roads to the development. Consequently as each homeowner
moves in a new home, there is an annual assessment paid up to the year
2016. The amount varies on the builder and how they decided to allocate
it. Average fee for a $150k home- approximately $600 per year. These association
fees cover the costs of greenbelts, parks, and in some cases security
gate fees.
