Homes & Real Estate - Bannon Lakes, St Augustine, FL

The confirmed public anchor is the Bannon Lakes Community Development District in St. Johns County. For homebuyers, that matters because the district assessment is tied to each home’s tax bill. The live listings above show current photos, prices, and availability. The district record tells you which extra cost to check.

The Community Development District assessment appears on the St. Johns County tax bill, and the amount varies by home. For a Bannon Lakes home, you are checking how much is billed, not whether a district applies. St. Johns County tax bills go out around November 1. The gross amount is due by March 31. Early payment can earn up to a 4% discount.

Check the exact street address, not the neighborhood name. Use the FEMA Flood Map Service Center for the federal flood-zone lookup. Then use the St. Johns County Flood Zone Viewer for the county flood zone, storm-surge zone, and evacuation route. The county iMap layers add hazards such as wind-borne debris areas. One Bannon Lakes result should not be used for a different home.

Ask for a wind quote tied to the exact home and the OIR-B1-1802 wind-mitigation form. In Northeast Florida, that form documents hurricane-resistant features that can earn credits on the windstorm part of the premium. Pair the quote with the address-level flood result. If an offer uses a Florida Realtors/Florida Bar contract, ask your agent and attorney how the AS IS or Standard version handles inspections, repairs, and exit rights.

A Florida primary residence can qualify for the homestead exemption, which can take up to $50,000 off assessed value. The application goes to the county property appraiser by March 1. Once granted, Save Our Homes caps annual assessed-value increases at 3% or the change in CPI, whichever is less. For a Bannon Lakes purchase, ask the property appraiser or a CPA how the rule fits your situation.

Use the St. Johns County Property Appraiser search for assessed value, tax history, ownership, exemptions, and the property map. That search helps a Bannon Lakes homebuyer compare the listing description with what St. Johns County has on file. For bills, payment timing, discounts, and any Community Development District assessment lines, use the St. Johns County Tax Collector bill too.
