As many of us know in private associations, our roadways are probably the biggest budget expense. Not sure how it works in your state, but in New Jersey a private qualified association is due reimbursement from the
municipality for the municipality's cost to remove snow, the municipality's cost for street lighting, and trash pickup. Quoted from the link below, "The purpose of the Municipal Services Act is simple – eliminate double taxation of community association residents."

Perhaps your state has similar rulings in favor of your association, perhaps not. Either way you may benefit from the information above, and that one state in our country recognizes the unfair concept of double taxation. You're already paying taxes to your municipality once, why not get something back for relieving the municipality of it's obligation to provide you the services it provides every other resident outside of your association's borders?
