Pro-Tip: CDD Fees vs. HOA

Most new communities in Bradenton (especially in Lakewood Ranch and Parrish) have CDD fees (Community Development District) which are added to your property taxes to pay for infrastructure. If you want to avoid these, look at communities like Eagle Trace or The Willows, which are known for being “No-CDD” options.
