How much does it cost to own a home in Lady Lake, FL?

Owning a single-family home at the median sale price in Lady Lake ($327,000) costs about $2,291 a month with 20% down at 6.8%: $1,705 for the mortgage, $422 property tax and $164 insurance.

How much is property tax in Lady Lake?

Sellers in Lady Lake report a median tax bill of about 0.99% of the price. That number is low for a buyer: Florida's Save Our Homes cap holds down a long-time owner's assessment, and it resets after a sale. We budget 1.55% of the price for a new owner until the county's estimator says otherwise.

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

60% of recent listings report an HOA or condo association fee, median $2,064 a year. For single-family listings it's 66%, median $1,980 a year. Of listings that say whether a CDD applies, 29% have one, median $2,463 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.
