<p>I'd like to know if you own your land when you purchase a home in irvine or if it is still rpoperty of TIC. Sorry for the dumb question, but I've been told it's some kind of perpetual loan done by TIC.</p>
<p>Also, I assume the property taxes are fixed by the city. Do these typicaly stay flat forever or do some cities decide to increase the percentage (I think it's 1.04% right now) once in a while.</p>
<p>Now, what about HOA and Mello-roos? Are Mello-roos fixed for something like 30 years so they can build infrastruture, schools, ... Are HOA set by the builder and become responsibility of the owners, therefore less likely to increase in the future.</p>
<p>I'm asking all this because if the taxes, mello-roos, or HOA increase, well somwhow that decreases the face value of your property. Thanks.</p>
