They cover the amenities, landscaping and irrigation for the common areas and your homesite, the lakes, the staffed gate and management. The Kingston One CDD is billed yearly on your property tax bill.

The food and beverage minimum is $480 a year, prorated in your first year (Esplanade at Kingston’s is $800). One-time fees at closing on new construction are a $5,000 amenity fee, a $750 initial contribution to the master association, a $1,500 irrigation fee and a $200 panther mitigation fee. These are 2026 estimates per the Kingston South HOA fee sheet shared by the builders’ sales team (Sept 2026), and they’re subject to change.
