What we could verify
We did not find an official HOA, CDD or builder source for Lakeshore Preserve during our research, and its HOA website did not load. That does not mean information is unavailable, only that you should get it from the seller, the HOA management company or the county directly. Ask for the declaration, rules, budget and most recent tax bill.
City, county and tax
Much of the newer housing with Winter Garden and Windermere addresses sits in Horizon West, an unincorporated Orange County planning area of about 20,704 gross acres. Parcels there generally pay Orange County rather than City of Winter Garden millage (4.8565 mills for 2026-27). We could not confirm from an official source whether every part of Lakeshore Preserve is inside or outside city limits, so look up the specific parcel on the Orange County Property Appraiser site.

HOA and CDD
Florida law requires the initial sale contract for a home inside a Community Development District to carry a bold disclosure that the district may levy taxes or assessments. For a resale, read the latest Orange County tax bill, where CDD charges appear as separate lines. As a reference point, the Stoneybrook West CDD in west Orange County set FY2027 totals of $366.82 to $1,074.31 per home; districts with newer bonds are often higher.
Lake and preserve lots
- Confirm whether a lot backs onto a lake, pond or conservation area, and whether that land is protected from future building.
- Check the FEMA flood zone and get an insurance quote.
- Ask about any dock, boat or lake-access rules in the HOA documents.
Questions to ask the seller or HOA
- What are the current HOA dues, and what do they cover?
- Is there a CDD, and what are the operations and debt amounts for this lot?
- Are any special assessments planned or under discussion in recent board minutes?
- What are the rules on fences, pools, parking, short-term rentals and exterior changes?
- Is the association still controlled by the developer, or has it passed to residents?
Other checks before you buy
- Look up the parcel on the Orange County Property Appraiser site and note the millage code and any non-ad valorem assessments.
- Read the latest property tax bill. CDD assessments, where they exist, usually appear there as separate lines.
- Ask the seller or HOA for the current HOA budget, dues and what they cover.
- Order an HOA estoppel certificate early in the contract period.
- Check the FEMA flood zone for the exact lot, especially near lakes and ponds.
- Confirm school zoning with the Orange County Public Schools locator for the exact address.
