What is Mello-Roos and will it affect my purchase?

Mello-Roos is a special tax district in newer San Diego communities — it paid for the roads, schools, and parks, and homeowners repay it through an extra property-tax line item. It can add hundreds a month and typically lasts decades. It surprises buyers who focus only on price. Stone Real Estate Group flags Mello-Roos and all carrying costs for every buyer.
