What Else to Check
- Golf membership Membership in the course is separate from owning a home as far as we have found; we get the current terms in writing on request.
- Layered associations Country Club and Racquet Club phases may have their own associations under Martin Downs; we confirm every assessment from the disclosure summaries.
- Taxes and insurance After a sale the assessed value resets the following January. Flood zone and roof age drive insurance quotes, so we check both for the address.
- Estoppel The closing agent orders an estoppel certificate from each association, which confirms what is owed at closing.
Documents to Review Before Closing
- Before you sign: the association disclosure summary and the parcel’s tax bill, including any non-ad valorem lines
- Before you sign: leasing and approval rules if you may rent, and architectural rules for exterior changes
- Before closing: estoppel certificates from every association that applies
