Do most homes in Sun City Center have an HOA or CDD?

Of listings that say whether a CDD applies, 12% have one, median $1,967 a year on the tax bill. A blank fee on a listing usually means no association but isn't confirmed, so these are shares of listings that report a fee, not of all homes. Fees vary a lot by community, so check the community pages below before you compare homes.
