How much is property tax in Auburndale?

Do most homes in Auburndale have an HOA or CDD?

Of listings that say whether a CDD applies, 9% have one, median $2,200 a year on the tax bill. A blank fee on a listing usually means no association but isn't confirmed, so these are shares of listings that report a fee, not of all homes. Fees vary a lot by community, so check the community pages below before you compare homes.
