Buying a home in Apopka: what to know

The steps are the same everywhere. These are the Florida and Apopka details that trip people up.

Get pre-approved →
  1. Look for a CDD fee. Many newer communities charge a Community Development District fee on the property tax bill. Ask for the full tax bill.
  2. Older home? Plan a 4-point inspection. Insurers often require a 4-point inspection of the roof, electrical, plumbing and heating and cooling on older homes.
  3. Bigger lot? Check the septic. Many homes outside newer subdivisions use a septic system and sometimes a well. Inspect the septic and test the water.
  4. Near a lake or spring? Check the flood zone. Ask for an elevation certificate and a flood quote before your inspection period ends.
