How much is property tax in Minneola?

Sellers in Minneola report a median tax bill of about 0.89% 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 Minneola have an HOA or CDD?

93% of recent listings report an HOA or condo association fee, median $1,160 a year. For single-family listings it's 93%, median $932 a year. Of listings that say whether a CDD applies, 49% have one, median $1,762 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.
