What the Listing Shows vs. What You Actually Pay
Del Webb Bexley listings show the HOA fee — $290–$488/mo depending on home size. That's one number and it's accurate. What it doesn't show: whether CDD applies to the specific parcel (it does in some sections), property taxes on a Pasco County resale, and homeowner's insurance. Combined, these push the true non-mortgage monthly obligation significantly above the HOA line alone.
The good news for Bexley specifically: lawn maintenance is included in the HOA. That's a real offset — professional lawn service in Pasco County typically costs $100–$180/mo if you're hiring it separately. When comparing Bexley to communities where lawn is not included, adjust accordingly.
Lawn maintenance is included in the Bexley HOA. When comparing Bexley's HOA to communities where it's not included, subtract ~$100–$180/mo from Bexley's fee for an apples-to-apples comparison. A $390/mo Bexley HOA with lawn included compares to a $210–$290/mo HOA elsewhere plus separate lawn service.
Every Mandatory Cost — Mid-Size Home
CDD caveat: If your specific parcel is in a CDD-encumbered section, add $100–$167/mo to the total above. Always pull the Pasco County tax records for the specific parcel before finalizing your budget. The listing agent should be able to provide this — if they can't, pull it yourself at the Pasco County Property Appraiser website.
Bexley Cost by Home Size
Add $100–$167/mo to any scenario if the specific parcel has a CDD assessment. Golf is off-site at Bexley — budget separately if you play regularly.
What Included Lawn Care Is Actually Worth
Bexley's HOA includes professional lawn maintenance — mowing, edging, fertilizing, and weed control. In Pasco County, professional lawn service for a standard single-family lot runs $100–$180/month depending on lot size and service frequency.
When a competing community shows a $200/mo HOA without lawn included, the apples-to-apples comparison to Bexley's $390/mo HOA (with lawn) is actually $390 vs. ($200 + $140 lawn) = $390 vs. $340/mo — a $50/mo difference, not $190/mo. Many buyers miss this calculation entirely when comparing communities.
