Estimate: asking price less the $50,000 homestead exemption × Polk County rate (16.19 mills, adopted 2025 millage). Not a bill.
⚠️
Property taxes in Florida are reassessed after a sale, so a buyer’s first full-year bill can be higher than the seller’s. Budget from this estimate, not the current bill, before you make an offer.
Current owner’s estimated bill $1,950/yr ($162/mo) — taxable value $120,630 × 16.19 mills
$2,100 more each year
(+108%)
Most of this comes from Florida’s Save Our Homes assessment cap resetting when the home sells — the current owner’s protected assessment does not transfer to a new buyer.

The Messtimate™
The Messtimate
Insufficient local evidence for an automated estimate. The Messtimate is a deliberately simple range — living area × recent closed-sale $/sq ft from comparable homes nearby — and it only renders when at least 3 defensible sales exist within about 10 miles in Polk County in the last 18 months. Only 1 qualifies for this home, so no dollar range is shown. It is not an appraisal or a valuation.
Want a property-specific value review? A licensed Momentum Realty agent can prepare a free comparative market analysis using the home, the lot, its condition, and the live market.
Methodology: the range would be 1,258 sq ft × the interquartile $/sq ft of comparable closed sales (same property type, living area within 30%, closed within 18 months, nearest verified subdivision, 3-mile, then 10-mile same-county stage). Estimate for general information only; never an appraisal, valuation, or offer. Updated September 30, 2026.

Jul 2026 · Development
Lakeland Commissioners Approve Zoning Changes for Hallam Drive and Laura Road Projects
Lakeland commissioners unanimously approved zoning changes on July 20, 2026 for two projects. One rezones 17 acres at 1212 Hallam Drive for 24 single family homes on 1.5 acre lots, and the other rezones 3.87 acres at 559 Laura Road for a proposed self storage facility.
Why it matters: Rezonings clear the way for new low density housing and commercial storage in Lakeland, adding to residential lot supply and local commercial infrastructure. The project is about 22 miles west of Zz Stellar Polk Unassigned, elsewhere in Polk County.
Haines City Data Center Proposal on Hold Over Water Capacity
Texas based Cielo Digital Infrastructure has proposed a data center on Marion Road and State Road 544 East in Haines City, requesting 150,000 gallons of potable water per day. City officials say the project remains preliminary, is awaiting additional water allocation from the Southwest Florida Water Management District, and has not yet come before the commission for approval.
Why it matters: A proposed data center signals commercial and industrial interest in the Haines City area while highlighting water infrastructure limits that could shape the pace of future development. The site is about 2 miles southwest of Zz Stellar Polk Unassigned.
Hillpointe Opens Pointe Grand Apartments in Davenport
Hillpointe has begun leasing at Pointe Grand Champions Village, an approximately 445 unit apartment community at 2010 Celsius Way in Davenport. As of late June 2026 the project was about 50 percent built and had started moving in residents, featuring one bedroom cottages, two bedroom units, and three bedroom townhomes with resort style amenities.
Why it matters: A large new apartment community expands rental housing supply and adds amenity rich multifamily inventory to the Davenport market. The project is about 9 miles north of Zz Stellar Polk Unassigned, elsewhere in Polk County.
Haines City Commission Reviews Lake Eva Estates Subdivision
Haines City reviewed a preliminary plat for Lake Eva Estates, a 31 lot single family subdivision on 16.68 acres west of 10th Street South by Lake Eva. The project is zoned low density residential and includes an approved traffic study.
Why it matters: A new single family subdivision adds for sale housing supply in the Lake Eva area and reflects continued residential platting activity in Haines City. The project is about 1 mile west of Zz Stellar Polk Unassigned, elsewhere in Polk County.

Items worth confirming for 828 Osceola Street, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.
Built in 1938 (88 years): ask for the roof and HVAC replacement dates — insurers commonly ask for roof age on homes this old, and it changes the premium.
The listing reports no HOA: confirm with the county record that no deed restrictions or mandatory association apply to this parcel.
FEMA flood zone X: flood insurance is not usually required, but get a quote anyway — FEMA reports roughly one in four flood claims come from outside high-risk zones.
Get a homeowners insurance quote for this specific address in Polk County; a wind-mitigation inspection and, on older homes, a four-point inspection can change the premium.
Listed living area is 1,258 sq ft: verify it against the property appraiser's record and measure before relying on it.
Order a survey to confirm lot boundaries and easements.
Review permit history with the county.
Property taxes: the estimate on this page (about $4,050/yr) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Estimated buyer taxes are about $2,100 more per year than the current owner’s estimated bill (+108%). Exemptions and portability change the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser.

Frequently asked questions
How big is 828 Osceola Street and when was it built?
Per the listing record, 828 Osceola Street was built in 1938 and has 1,258 sq ft of living area, 2 bedrooms and 1.0 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.
What community is 828 Osceola Street in?
828 Osceola Street is in Rosedale Add in Lakeland, Polk County. Too few comparable closed sales exist nearby for this page to show local sales statistics; a licensed agent can prepare a comparative market analysis.
Does 828 Osceola Street have an HOA?
The listing reports no HOA. Confirm with the county record that no deed restrictions or mandatory association apply to the parcel.
Why might property taxes on 828 Osceola Street differ from the current owner's?
The estimate on this page (about $4,050 per year) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Estimated buyer taxes are about $2,100 more per year than the current owner’s estimated bill (+108%). Florida reassesses a home after it sells; for a homesteaded seller the Save Our Homes cap on their assessment does not transfer, and a buyer's own exemptions and portability are applied separately, so the two bills usually differ. Any tax figure shown here is an estimate, not the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser and tax collector.
Is 828 Osceola Street in a flood zone?
The FEMA flood map places this parcel in Zone X, outside the special flood hazard area, so flood insurance is not usually required by a lender. It is still available and worth quoting; confirm the parcel's status with FEMA and your insurer.
Can I rely on the figures on this page?
No. Estimated taxes, insurance, payments, and any market or comparable-sales summary are opinions and estimates for general information only and should not be relied upon. Verify all information independently before making any decision.

Opinion & estimate — do not rely on this page. Any figure on this page that is not a verbatim fact from the listing or a public record — including estimated property taxes, insurance, CDD/HOA amounts, mortgage payments, comparable-sales summaries, and market statistics — is an opinion and estimate provided for general informational purposes only. These figures may be inaccurate or out of date, are not appraisals, valuations, or financial, legal, tax, or investment advice, and should not be relied upon. Do not make any purchase, offer, financing, or other decision based on this page. Independently verify everything — price, square footage, lot size, year built, taxes, CDD/HOA, flood status, school assignments, permits, and community rules — with the listing broker, the county, your lender, a licensed inspector, an insurer, and your own advisors before acting.
Estimate methodology. Tax estimates apply county millage to the list price (less the homestead exemption where the parcel is matched to the certified roll) and will differ from the actual assessed bill. Cost and market figures are derived from available data and simple calculations, not a professional appraisal. We make no representation that any estimate reflects fair market value.
