What homes of your size have sold for in SIGNATURE LAKES INDEPENDENCE

The same recorded closings, split into thirds by living area. Find the row your home falls in: the $/sqft figure times your square footage is the recorded-sales bracket for homes like yours here — a starting range from real closings, not a valuation of your specific property. Price per square foot is nearly flat across sizes here ($261 to $260), so square footage alone explains most of the price spread.

At SIGNATURE LAKES INDEPENDENCE’s $470,000 median and Orange County’s adopted 16.67 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $7,840 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $7,160 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. Municipal and special-district millage varies inside the county; see the Orange County tax page.
