Encore Resort HOA Fees: 2026 Buyer Guide

Owners can choose their own pool-service provider during the POA's June and December opt-in/opt-out windows; the association supplies the exact dates. The published 2026 assessments differ by $160 per month, but that is a reduction in association charges, not an automatic net saving. If you opt out, you remain responsible for arranging and maintaining pool care and paying your replacement provider. Compare that provider's cost and service scope with the POA's weekly cleaning and chemical checks. For seasonal owners in particular, the decision is about how pool care will continue while the home is not in personal use.

The separately operated Encore Reunion West Club provides recreation rather than the household and community services funded by the POA. Its waterpark, sports courts, gym, playground and splashpad offer options for everyday exercise and second-home enjoyment, alongside restaurants and bars. Mandatory Club dues are separate: the published monthly rates are $118.52 and $137.20, depending on participation in the Club's preferred property-manager rental program. Ask the Club which rate applies to your arrangement. Membership does not mean every meal, activity or service is included in those dues. Keep these amenities distinct from Reunion Resort golf and its separate waterpark, neither of which should be assumed to come with Encore membership.

Reunion West Community Development District, or CDD, assessments appear on the annual county property-tax bill, separate from monthly POA and Club charges. The district funds and maintains infrastructure such as roads, stormwater systems and street lighting. Its assessments may include both operations-and-maintenance costs and capital or debt-service components. When comparing homes, review the specific property's tax bill for its CDD assessment rather than applying one community-wide dollar figure. Keeping that annual charge separate from the monthly fee comparison helps you account for it without mistaking the POA-plus-Club total for your complete ownership budget.
