Fairfield Glade versus Tellico Village parcel worksheet

Put one actual property in each column. A published community figure is a starting line, not a parcel total; leave every unresolved amount blank.

Every figure verified

Nothing you type is sent anywhere or kept after the page reloads. Print it or save the printout locally.

Use one column for an actual Fairfield Glade property and one for an actual Tellico Village property. The printed figures below retain their different units and limits. They are not promises about either candidate parcel.

Association identity and mandatory charge

Fairfield Glade

Reported 2026 monthly assessment: $137
Reported 2026 annual assessment: $1,644

Those figures apply to a Fairfield Glade home receiving sewer and trash service. Other property classes require their own current rate. 1

Tellico Village

Published 2026 monthly assessment: $186.98
Published 2026 annual assessment: $2,243.76

The declaration establishes a per-lot or living-unit method. The published amount is one line, not the complete cost of a particular property. 3 4

One-time and closing charges

Fairfield Glade

Reported home-purchase amenity reserve fee: $6,000 at closing.

A 2024 local report says buyer and seller may negotiate who ultimately pays, including splitting the charge. The contract should say. 1 2

Tellico Village

Current public at-closing club-membership amount: unresolved.

Public Chapter 727 changed a statutory definition. It did not create a TVPOA charge, set an amount or identify a payor. Keep the line blank until the POA or closing agent supplies the current written answer. 5

Blank does not equal zero. Keep an unresolved closing charge outside the confirmed total and label any separate household stress allowance as an allowance, not an estimate.

Confirmed annual total

Do not put a one-time entry charge into the steady-state annual total. For Fairfield Glade, do not automatically add sewer or trash again: use the parcel ledger to identify any amount outside the confirmed assessment class. Include a household reserve allowance in the total only when it is the household's deliberately chosen recurring allowance and is labelled as such. Do not fill a missing parcel quote with a community average, listing claim or zero.

Do not assume the mandatory association payment includes the household's chosen golf, recreation, dock, cart or storage use.

Utilities, credits and service boundaries

Fairfield Glade

The $137 line is scoped to the stated home-with-sewer-and-trash class. Confirm that the exact property fits it, and do not count sewer or trash twice.

Tellico Village

TVPOA approved refunds of previously collected WSIAF payments. The public handling depends on the utility account; it does not say a seller's refund belongs to the buyer. 7

Reserves, capital work and assessment exposure

Fairfield Glade

Ask for the current adopted budget, capital plan and any property-specific assessment or service notice. Do not infer the answer from Tellico Village's reserve study.

Tellico Village

Starting reserve balance: $18.44 million
Fully funded level: $23.9 million
Funding for included assets: 77 percent
Zero-funded assets excluded: approximately $312 million

The 30-year study projects no special assessment. That is a model result, not a guarantee. 6

Measure these from the actual property at the time the household would travel. A community-wide drive estimate is not a parcel or care-access promise.
