Buying new construction in Groveland
Groveland has seen a lot of new subdivision building. If you buy new construction, read the builder contract closely, ask what the warranty covers and for how long, and hire your own inspector before the drywall goes up and again before closing. Most of these communities have an HOA, and many also carry a CDD assessment on the property tax bill. Ask for the exact yearly amount, because it is part of your real monthly cost.
A Groveland mailing address does not always mean the home is inside city limits, so check the parcel on the Lake County Property Appraiser site. That record shows the taxing district and whether city or county rules apply. Homes near Lake David and the area’s other lakes and wetlands may sit in a flood zone, so check the FEMA map. Most commuters use State Road 50 east toward Clermont and Orlando, with Florida’s Turnpike and State Road 429 beyond that.
