Silver Lake is in Palm Beach County, so property taxes will follow the county millage plus the community's assessments once they are set.
Confirm the HOA and any CDD once GL Homes publishes them; a new master-planned neighborhood with an amenity center typically carries community assessments, so factor them into any future carrying cost. For context, the Palm Beach County figure in our FY2025-26 millage file is a typical total of about 18.72 mills, and actual parcel totals vary by municipality and taxing district, so treat it as a planning number, not a quote.

The land basis is documented: GL Homes assembled the site in stages, including an earlier 120-acre Westlake purchase in early 2024 for about $29.4 million.
