3. What goes into each of the Limited Expense Assessments?

The limited assessments are only paid for by the sections that take advantage of those activities.  For example, a single-family home on a VDOT street only pays for trash removal.  A single-family on a Cascades private street pays for trash removal, snow removal, and a reserve contribution.  A townhouse would pay for trash removal, snow removal, a reserve contribution, and an additional landscaping expense.
