What HOA, CDD and tax costs come with a Lake Star home?
HOA dues vary by home series and homesite, and M/I Homes doesn’t post current dues on its Lake Star pages. Call 407-706-5000 and we’ll pull the current HOA dues for the home you’re considering. Our HOA fees guide explains what to ask for.
A Lake Star at Ovation Phase 1B parcel showed no CDD for tax year 2026, with county assessments of $778 a year: $430 garbage, $78 stormwater and $270 street lights (Orange County Property Appraiser). Phase 1B parcels are in mill code 35, a 2025 final total of 16.1366 mills. On a homesteaded home assessed at the $636,990 median, that is about $9,620 a year, or about $10,280 without homestead (OCPA; Florida Department of Revenue). Our CDD fees guide explains how to read the bill.
What incentives is M/I Homes offering?
On Oct 2, 2026, M/I’s Lake Star page listed its “Game Time” sales event, running Sept. 8 to Oct. 11, 2026 on select homes. It also listed a 5.875% rate (5.962% APR) on a 30-year fixed conventional loan through M/I Financial on select quick move-in homes. The rate terms require a contract written Sept. 14 to Oct. 11, 2026, a loan application within 48 hours, closing by Dec. 31, 2026, 20% down and a 720 credit score, and use a $449,990 example price (M/I Homes). M/I says these offers can change or end without notice. Have your agent get the exact incentive for your home and lot in writing, and compare the builder’s loan against an outside lender’s Loan Estimate.
Can I bring my own agent to the Lake Star model?
Yes, and timing matters. M/I Homes’ Orlando agent policy says “first visit accompaniment and presence at purchase contract is required to earn commission and/or bonus.” It gives a 60-day protected registration when the agent accompanies the buyer on the first visit, requires the agent to attend the entire purchase contract, asks to know about any transaction fees at purchase, and requires a Florida license at closing (M/I Homes). If you’ve already visited on your own, tell your agent before you go back. See our buyer’s agent guide and our new construction guide.
What should I ask at the model?
Ask for the current HOA budget and what it covers, the lot premium for the homesite you want, which options are included in the base price, and the estimated completion date. Ask how the offer you were quoted applies to that specific home, and whether it requires M/I Financial. Ask for the CDD disclosure, if any, and the homesite’s tax parcel so you can look up its county assessments.
