What is an HOA and should I expect one?
Homeowners associations are common across Southwest Orlando's master-planned communities. They manage shared common areas and set community rules, though the specifics vary from one community to the next. I'll go over each home's HOA details before you make an offer so you know exactly what you're getting into.
What is a CDD?
A Community Development District is a special taxing district that funds community infrastructure like roads, utilities, and amenities. Homes in newer master-planned communities often carry a CDD assessment. I'll show you the exact CDD for any home you're considering so there are no surprises at closing.
How does home insurance work in Florida?
Florida home insurance works differently from most other states. Policies typically bundle dwelling, windstorm, and liability coverage, and flood insurance is usually a separate policy. Premiums vary by location, the age of the roof, and the coverage you choose, so I can point you to local carriers and include insurance estimates in your offer review.
How do property taxes work, and what is the homestead exemption?
Florida property taxes are set by the county, and owner-occupants who make a home their primary residence can apply for a homestead exemption, which reduces the assessed value taxed for most purposes. That exemption applies only to your primary home; investment and second homes are taxed at the non-homestead rate.
