The real monthly cost of owning in Clermont
Take the median $427,000 home with 20% down at today’s 7.28% 30-year rate: principal and interest run about $2,337/month. Lake County’s typical total millage is 16.65 mills, so after the $50,000 homestead exemption the property tax is roughly $6,276/year ($523/month) for a new owner — the seller’s capped bill on the listing will be lower and is not your number. Citizens Property Insurance’s average premium in Lake County is about $1,756/year; private-market quotes vary with roof age and wind mitigation. 65% of current Clermont listings carry an HOA, with a median of $138/month where one applies. All in, budget on the order of $3,145/month to own the median Clermont home including a typical HOA.

Schools, taxes, and insurance: where to verify
School assignments change; check the Lake County school grades page for the district’s current grades, and confirm zoning for a specific address directly with the district. Property tax figures on this page use Lake County’s typical millage of 16.65; municipal and special-district millage varies inside the county. Insurance uses Citizens’ Lake County average of $1,756/year; a wind-mitigation inspection and roof age can move a private quote a long way in either direction.
