How much does it cost to own a home in St Cloud, FL?

Owning a single-family home at the median sale price in St Cloud ($418,400) costs about $2,931 a month with 20% down at 6.8%: $2,182 for the mortgage, $540 property tax and $209 insurance.

How much is property tax in St Cloud?

Sellers in St Cloud 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 St Cloud have an HOA or CDD?

83% of recent listings report an HOA or condo association fee, median $1,140 a year. For single-family listings it's 83%, median $1,020 a year. Of listings that say whether a CDD applies, 45% have one, median $1,766 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.
