At Tavares Chelsea Oaks South Tavares’s $301,000 median and Lake County’s adopted 16.65 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $5,010 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $4,340 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 Lake County tax page.
Current asking prices run a median $284,999 against the $301,000 recorded sold median (-5%) — the gap between what sellers hope and what the record shows. The market is carrying about 1.5 months of supply at the current sales pace. Demand check: 0% of Tavares Chelsea Oaks South Tavares’s listings are under contract, against 18% for ZIP 32778 and 25% for Lake County as a whole — the community is currently absorbing slower than its surroundings, which is negotiating information.
Asking prices here currently sit -5% under the recorded sold median — sellers are pricing to move, and the closed record above is the number a buyer's appraiser will see.
