What it costs to own in Palms at Windermere
On a median-priced Palms at Windermere home ($1.07M), property taxes at Orange County’s typical millage of 16.6738 run roughly $17,091 a year with the homestead exemption applied — before any CDD or special-district charges, which vary by community.

Run the real numbers before you commit: what selling nets you, whether your Save Our Homes benefit moves with you, and rent vs buy in Orange County.
At Palms at Windermere’s $1,075,000 median and Orange County’s adopted 16.67 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $17,920 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $17,250 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. Municipal and special-district millage varies inside the county; see the Orange County tax page.
Rents and the investor math
Typical asking rent across Orange County sits near $1,949 a month (Zillow’s rent index). Rents are moving about 0.5% year over year.

If you’re buying in Palms at Windermere
Come pre-approved, not pre-qualified, and be ready to move within days of a new listing.

You have leverage, but overpricing still kills momentum — homes that sit past the median days on market start fielding lowball offers. Price at the data, prep properly, and make buyers compete in week one. Your listing agent’s first-week marketing plan matters more than their commission number.
