Villages of Seloy does not have a builder to call for fee information. The original developer is no longer in business. The HOA is run entirely by resident homeowners, and fees are set by the board's annual budget process. Current HOA fees are not publicly listed anywhere online — they must be requested directly from the HOA or through a listing agent representing a seller. This page tells you exactly what documents to request, what numbers to look for, and how to assess whether the community's finances are in good shape before you make an offer.

Talk to a Specialist →| Document | What to Look For | Red Flag |
|---|---|---|
| Current HOA fee schedule | Monthly or quarterly fee, what is included (exterior maintenance, roof reserves, pool, landscaping) | Fee recently increased by more than 10–15%, or increases are scheduled without reserve justification |
| HOA reserve study (current) | Reserve funding percentage — industry standard is 70%+ funded | Below 50% funded: near-term special assessments are likely. Below 30%: near-certain within 3–5 years |
| HOA annual budget (current year) | Operating expenses vs income, reserve contributions | Operating at a deficit, or reserve contributions below what the reserve study recommends |
| HOA financial statements (2–3 years) | Trend in fees, expenses, and reserve balance | Declining reserve balance year over year, or unexplained large expenditures |
| HOA meeting minutes (12–24 months) | Pending capital projects, deferred maintenance, disputes, special assessments discussed or voted | Roof replacements, repaving, pool equipment, or HVAC system repairs discussed but not funded |
| Seller tax bills (2 years) | Actual annual property tax amount, any special district assessments | Unexpected CDD or special assessment lines not disclosed upfront |
| Home inspection | Roof age and condition, HVAC age, plumbing, structural — shared wall inspection too | Roof within 5 years of end-of-life, HVAC over 10 years old, moisture or structural issues |
In an attached-home community like Villages of Seloy (duplex and quad construction), the HOA fee structure typically covers significantly more than a single-family detached HOA. Common inclusions for attached communities in Florida:
This broader coverage is why attached-home HOA fees tend to run higher per month than detached single-family HOAs. At Villages of Seloy, the fee you pay covers exterior maintenance you would otherwise hire and pay for directly. The effective cost comparison is not just HOA fee — it is HOA fee minus what you would pay independently for exterior maintenance, painting, and roof reserves on a standalone home.

The realistic cost comparison for Villages of Seloy requires knowing: the current HOA fee, whether a CDD applies, and the correct property tax figure including any city millage. Until you have all three numbers confirmed, you cannot meaningfully compare Seloy to Parkland Preserve or Reverie on cost. The location value — St. Augustine proper, not suburban — is real and may justify the higher carrying cost for buyers where city proximity is the primary draw. Run the confirmed numbers first.
Request the HOA financials and reserve study before you tour Villages of Seloy. A local agent familiar with this community can get the current fee schedule and tell you what the reserve funding level looks like.
