Minneola, directly north of Clermont, is a separate incorporated city with its own city hall on US Highway 27 and its own ZIP code, 34715. Building permits and inspections there are handled by the Minneola Building Department, whose services the city contracts to SAFEbuilt, and code cases go to Minneola’s own code enforcement staff, not to Clermont or Lake County. A Clermont permit search will not show a Minneola house’s history.
Much of Minneola’s newer housing sits in community development districts, including the Hills of Minneola, which the city lists among its CDDs. A CDD’s assessments appear on the property tax bill and are confirmed in title work. Florida’s Turnpike has a Minneola interchange at Hancock Road (Exit 278). We buy Minneola homes on the same terms as Clermont ones.
