Are there any gated neighborhoods in Talega?
The master community of Talega is not a gated community. However, the neighborhoods of Careyes, Catania, Vittoria, Lucia and the 55+ communities are gated. The guard stations at Calle Saluda & Avenida Fresas and Avenida Talega & Camino Vento Fuerto are faux gates and they are not constructed to become a future gated station.
Is there Mello-Roos in Talega?
Yes. In our current Increment, we have benefits of three Community Facility Districts (CFD’s), which are the same thing as Mello Roos. The Mello Roos is different in every neighborhood. When buying a resale home, you can estimate the annual Mello Roos Tax at approximately $1.05 to $1.79 x the home’s square footage. For example: a 3000sf home x $1.05 = $3,150 per year. The Property Tax Base in Talega is approximately 1.011%. The most accurate tax information can be obtained on the Orange County Tax Collector’s web page.
