Palmera is in Sarasota County within Wellen Park, so property taxes follow the county millage plus the master plan's community assessments.
Expect a CDD: Wellen Park villages fund infrastructure and amenities through community development district assessments on top of the HOA. Confirm the per-lot CDD and HOA before you budget. For context, the Sarasota County figure in our FY2025-26 millage file is a typical total of about 13.48 mills, and actual parcel totals vary by municipality and taxing district, so treat it as a planning number, not a quote.
