Centerra, Loveland: The Toll You Pay Three Ways
Centerra isn't a neighborhood, it's McWhinney's integrated shopping-and-living machine, and it tolls a move-up buyer three ways: a metro-district mill on the tax bill, a 1.25% retail PIF on every receipt at its own shops, and the urban-renewal financing beneath both.

TPC Colorado, Berthoud: The Golf-Club Carry to Price
At Heron Lakes / TPC Colorado, a golf-community lot carries three obligations, not one: the negotiable price, the fixed metro-district mill, and a private PGA-TOUR golf club whose optional dues sit on neither the tax bill nor the HOA statement. Total the stack before you tour.

Living in Berthoud, Colorado? The Mill Levy Decides
In Berthoud's move-up band you're almost always buying a new build inside a metro district. The number that decides the deal isn't the sticker price. It's the district's debt mill levy, and it's the one cost in the whole deal you can't negotiate.
