Answering Google Users’ Most Pressing Questions about Nocatee
Google’s autocomplete feature, sometimes referred to as predictive search, offers great insight into specific questions people have around a particular topic. We recently looked at some predictive search queries centered around the keyword “Nocatee”, and we’ll attempt to answer a few of those questions here.
- What are Nocatee CDD fees?
It’s hard to determine whether people are looking for a specific number here, or just an explanation of CDD fees in general. So let’s tackle both, briefly.How much a homeowner will pay in CDD fees in Nocatee varies by community and lot size. If you have a lot with larger frontage, you’ll typically pay a bit more in CDD fees.
The CDD fee itself is part of your annual tax bill, and is comprised of two distinct parts. One is the bond fee, which is designed to help pay off the bond floated by the developer to put in the basic infrastructure of the entire community. The second part is for operations and maintenance. This part of the fee pays for ongoing upkeep of all community amenities and infrastructure. These are things like community pools and clubhouses, sports courts and fields, exercise facilities and even landscaping and the like.
These are important distinctions, as it’s not uncommon for a homebuyer to run across a real estate listing that states “CDD bond paid off”. This can be somewhat misleading if you don’t know the two parts of the CDD. In short:
- Part 1 of the CDD is the actual bond portion, which is finite, and can be paid off.
- Part 2 of the CDD is the operations and maintenance, which is ongoing, and cannot be paid off in one lump sum.
- What County is Nocatee In?

- How Far is Nocatee from the Beach?

The Nocatee Farmer’s Market takes place the 3rd Saturday of every month. Currently, the Farmer’s Market takes place on the field behind Publix, but once the new Spray Water Park is completed in 2018, behind the Jr. Olympic pool, the Farmer’s Market and other larger scale events will move to that area, as well.

Do Nocatee neighborhood HOA fees include entrance to community waterparks, etc?
Typically, Nocatee communities have both an HOA fee and a CDD fee. HOA is specific to your particular neighborhood, while CDD is an overarching fee, paid annually with your tax bill, that gives you access to all Nocatee amenities. It’s a little confusing, I know, so if you have more questions, shoot us an email or give us a call and we can walk through the details with you!

Hi, Sal –
Yes, you can pay off the bond portion of the CDD in one lump sum, if you like. The developer of Nocatee, and the CDD, get asked this question quite a bit and have posted this informational video on YouTube in response. Might be worth taking a look.
