What homes of your size have sold for in CITRUS HIGHLANDS PH I SUB
The same recorded closings, split into thirds by living area.

At CITRUS HIGHLANDS PH I SUB’s $410,000 median and Lake County’s adopted 16.65 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $6,830 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $6,160 with the full Florida homestead exemption — a buyer’s first-year figure; a long-time owner’s Save Our Homes cap can be far lower, which is one reason resale taxes jump at closing.
