Skye Canyon dues are commonly quoted around $90–$120 a month for single-family homes, higher for townhomes. Some newer northwest parcels also carry a Special or Local Improvement District (SID/LID) assessment on the tax bill. Nick checks this by parcel number before you make an offer.Buying in the Northwest with Nick
