Sun City Grand Homes & Community Guide — Surprise, AZ

What does it cost to own in Sun City Grand?

There are three separate costs, which buyers often confuse:

The annual association assessment — $1,921 per home (fiscal year July 1, 2025–June 30, 2026), which includes two resident activity cards and covers community operations, common-area maintenance, landscaping, reserves, and base access to the recreation centers.

A one-time CARE fee — about $5,000 — paid at closing. CARE stands for Capital And Reserve Enhancement; it’s a one-time, non-refundable fee that funds the community’s long-term capital projects, and it’s customarily paid by the buyer. A few smaller closing fees apply too — disclosure, transfer, and architectural-review fees, together roughly $400.

Sub-association dues — only on some homes. Most homes pay only the master assessment. Some pockets carry additional monthly dues — for example, the La Solana condominiums and neighborhoods where the association maintains front-yard landscaping. HOA status varies by home, so we confirm it on any specific property.

Golf is not included in the assessment: the courses are association-owned but funded through separate resident passes and green fees.

Fee figures are current as of June 2026, per the Sun City Grand Community Association, and are deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Amounts change — confirm current figures with the Association and during escrow.
