How much is property tax in Eagle Lake?

Do most homes in Eagle Lake have an HOA or CDD?

85% of recent listings report an HOA or condo association fee, median $1,416 a year. For single-family listings it's 86%, median $1,416 a year. Of listings that say whether a CDD applies, 61% have one, median $1,796 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.
