Fees as quoted by the builder
| Item | As quoted |
|---|---|
| HOA (as quoted by builder) | SeaFlower Homeowners Association $300.88 per month includes front and rear lawn maintenance. Excludes amenity fees. |
| CDD (as quoted by builder) | $2,095.84 per year (Bungalow Homes page); $2,660.36 per year (Classic Homes page) |
| Tax rate (as quoted) | Taxes: 14.671 (millage as shown on DWH's pages). Verifier note: 14.6710 is Manatee County's 2024 millage for tax district 0302 (Cedar Hammock Fire Control); the 2025 adopted rate is 14.6100 and the 2026 proposed rate is 14.5666. |
DWH's figures are primary. Third-party listing site Jome (Sept 3, 2026) shows different numbers — HOA $299.78/month (ICON Management), CDD $1,853.56/yr (Bungalow) and $2,337.31+/yr (Classic), tax rate 1.47%+. DWH's 14.671 millage is the 2024 figure, not current, and SeaFlower's membership in tax district 0302 is inferred only from that match. Confirm current HOA and CDD assessments with the sales office. Full HOA and CDD tables by phase and lot are on the costs and fees page.
Warranty, lender, design center and construction
| Program | Details |
|---|---|
| Warranty | Multi-level 1-2-10 warranty: Year 1 — 'David Weekley Homes one-year limited warranty, plus the appliance manufacturers' warranties'; Years 1–2 — mechanical systems ('plumbing, electrical, central air conditioning and heating systems'); Years 1–10 — 'major structural defects' ('foundation, columns and load-bearing walls'). Each homeowner gets a personal Warranty Service Representative (the Home Team also includes a dedicated Warranty Service Manager). Tampa warranty contact: TWarranty@dwhomes.com, 813-422-6136, after hours 813-422-6199. Transferability and exclusions are not stated on the page. |
| Energy / construction | EnergySaver homes: DWH Tampa homes average a 71 on the HERS Index and are 'on average 29% more energy efficient than a home built in 2006.' Program features (corporate page): Low-E windows; formaldehyde-free insulation with fresh-air ventilation; low/zero-VOC paint, carpet and wood products; cement-based backer on shower/tub walls; advanced air sealing; right-sized HVAC; jump ducts / pressure balancing; duct blaster test (leakage ≤3% before drywall); blower-door test; third-party inspections of insulation, thermal envelope and ductwork before drywall; Environments For Living heating/cooling energy-use guarantee certificate at closing (all-electric homes may not qualify). |
| Structure | unverified — concrete-block construction, impact-rated glass, finished-floor elevation and flood-zone status are not stated on any DWH SeaFlower page. Natural gas service (TECO Peoples Gas) is listed for the community; plan marketing mentions 'energy-efficient windows' and 'expansive sliding glass doors'. |
| ADU / casita option | SeaFlower permits accessory dwelling units (owner must occupy the primary residence one year before renting; six-month minimum lease per the HOA), but whether David Weekley offers an ADU or garage-apartment option at SeaFlower is unverified. |
| Design center | Tampa Design Center, 9006 Brittany Way, Tampa, FL 33619, 813-422-6150: buyers 'browse through a variety of Custom Choices™ with the help of a professional Design Consultant'; options are pre-priced ('Cabinets, countertops, appliances and more – it's all under one roof'); 'Preview Night' events mentioned; hours not published. MyDWH.com wish-list site before appointments; most selections are finalized before construction because 'materials are ordered early in the build process.' A SeaFlower-specific included-features list was not found — unverified. |
| Affiliated lender | Preferred lender Grace Home Lending (prequalify at https://www.houseloan.com/ghltampa/; contact named on DWH's Tampa financing page: Tori Messina). Disclosure: David Weekley Homes 'has a 75% ownership interest in Grace Home Lending, LLC' and 'you are not required to use Grace Home Lending as a condition for purchase of a home from David Weekley Homes.' DWH's FAQ says buyers can use any lender but preferred lenders offer 'added convenience, a more streamlined process and potentially access to special incentives.' No title-company requirement is stated. |
| Build timeline | DWH's FAQ: 'most new homes take several months from the start of construction to completion,' with the home team providing estimated timelines early; buyers meet their Personal Builder at the Pre-Construction Meeting, with a pre-drywall walk and final orientation. Quick move-in 'Ready' dates observed on 2026-09-03 run from 10/14/2026 to 1/25/2027, i.e., homes now under construction are scheduled roughly 1.5–5 months out. |
