Property tax savings – estimated tax savings over $5,000 per year compared to Twin Buttes.

Low HOA dues – the estimated annual dues are estimated to be less than $500. At other communities, the HOA has a much more expansive role and maintenance responsibilities, and annual dues can exceed $1500 per year.
-
Tax rebates – Homeowners can claim a tax rebate equal to 30% of the total installation cost of the photovoltaic system and connected energy storage systems such as Tesla Powerwall. This could be a $10,000+ tax credit, and it rolls over if not used in the first year. To learn more about the numerous incentives for energy efficiency, check out Rewiring
