The first question almost every PGA Verano buyer asks is: "What are the fees, and what do I actually get for them?" It's a smart question — and one where vague answers kill deals. Here's a clear, resident's breakdown of HOA dues, the CDD, and golf costs in PGA Verano (PGA Village Verano), built by Kolter Homes in Port St. Lucie.
I'm Danny Divito — a licensed Florida broker who lives in PGA Verano. A quick note before the numbers: fees change over time and can vary by section and home type, so treat the figures below as a 2026 guide and always confirm the exact current amount for any specific home before you write an offer.
PGA Verano HOA Fees (2026)
As of 2026, PGA Verano HOA dues generally run in the range of roughly $500–$650 per month, depending on the section and home type. That sounds significant until you see what's bundled in — this is a true "lifestyle included" community, not a bare-bones HOA.
What the HOA Fee Includes
This is where Verano's dues earn their keep. Your monthly HOA typically covers:
- Full lawn care — mowing, fertilization, and pruning (a big deal — no lawn service to hire or DIY)
- Pest control for the grounds
- Manned, gated security at the entrance
- Cable TV & high-speed internet (bundled — a real monthly cost most communities don't include)
- All common areas & street lighting
- Community management
- Recreational facilities — Club Talavera, the 27-court pickleball center, Har-Tru tennis, indoor lap pool, resort-style pool, and the EGYM fitness center
"When you subtract lawn care, cable, internet, gated security, and resort amenities you'd otherwise pay for separately, the real 'net' cost of the HOA is a lot smaller than the sticker."
What's the CDD — and Why Is It on My Tax Bill?
Many master-planned Port St. Lucie communities, including PGA Verano, have a Community Development District (CDD). A CDD is a special district that financed the community's infrastructure — roads, drainage, utilities, and amenities — through bonds. Homeowners repay it through an annual assessment that appears on your property tax bill (not your HOA statement).
In PGA Verano, the CDD assessment runs roughly $1,400 per year (confirm the exact figure for any specific address). A few things buyers should understand:
- It's separate from your HOA dues and shows up on the tax bill.
- Part of it can be a bond/principal portion that may be payable over time or, in some cases, paid off — ask for the specifics on the home you're considering.
- It's a normal, disclosed cost in this type of community — not a red flag — but you should budget for it alongside taxes and insurance.
Golf: Available, Not Required
PGA Verano sits next to the PGA Golf Club, with a private golf-cart pathway from inside the community. Golf memberships are available but not mandatory — you only pay for golf if you want to play. So a non-golfer isn't subsidizing the course, and a golfer gets exceptional access. Membership tiers and fees are set by the club and are separate from your HOA.
Cresswind (55+) Extras
If you're looking at Cresswind, the 55+ neighborhood within Verano, residents there also enjoy their own neighborhood pool with sundeck, a putting green, and outdoor fitness equipment — on top of the community-wide amenities. (See our Cresswind 55+ vs. family sections guide.)
Quick budgeting checklist for buyers:
- Monthly HOA (confirm exact amount for the specific home/section)
- Annual CDD assessment on the tax bill (~$1,400; confirm)
- Property taxes & Florida homeowners + flood insurance
- Golf membership only if you want it
For Sellers: Have These Ready
If you're selling in PGA Verano, have your current HOA statement and the home's CDD figure ready before you list. Out-of-state buyers especially ask early, and clean answers keep deals from stalling at the closing table.
