The FY2027 figures are unchanged from FY2026. The debt portion relates to the district's Series 2018 bonds. Confirm the amount on the actual tax bill, because a lot's classification can differ from what a listing says.

CDD and HOA are separate

A CDD is a unit of local government that maintains district-owned infrastructure and repays bonds, with its board elected under state law. An HOA is a private association that enforces deed restrictions and maintains common areas it owns. Homes in Stoneybrook West may pay both, so ask for the HOA budget and dues alongside the CDD figures above.

Homes and prices

The spread of lot types, from townhomes to 90 ft lots, means prices vary widely inside the community. Zillow's typical home value for Winter Garden was $566,535 in August 2026, down 1.0% on the year, and $570,875 for ZIP 34787. Zillow does not publish a separate figure for this neighborhood in our data, so use closed sales inside the community over the last six months as your guide. Across the Orlando metro, homes took a typical 70 days to go pending and 28.0% of listings had a price cut, which gives buyers some room to negotiate.

What to check 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.

Because homes here are older than new Horizon West builds, ask for the age of the roof, HVAC and water heater and review permits. Our inspection checklist helps. Compare costs with newer options in our new construction guide and see the Orange County tax guide.
