By the numbers (as of Nov 10, 2026)

43 houses and no condos sit on the Cloud Lake roll (Florida DOR 2026 NAL, accessed Nov 10, 2026) [1].
$404K: median Cloud Lake house just value, with the middle half of houses between $323K and $567K [1]. Just value is the appraiser's market-value estimate, not a sale price.
1953: median year built for a Cloud Lake house; 7% were built in 2020 or later [1].
44%: share of Cloud Lake house parcels with a homestead exemption [1].
0.0000 mills: the 2025 final millage table lists Cloud Lake with no town levy; county, school and other taxing authorities still apply [3].

What should a referring agent know about Cloud Lake homes?

Cloud Lake is a tiny town: 43 house parcels on the roll, a median house just value near $404K, and no town property tax levy on the 2025 final millage table [1][3]. Its residents voted to incorporate in 1951 [4]. Every residential parcel on the roll is a house, so the lot, the roof and the insurance quote come first, and association rules depend on the subdivision.

How does Cloud Lake compare with the rest of Palm Beach County?

Cloud Lake holds less than 0.1% of Palm Beach County's 385,987 house parcels on the 2026 roll [1]. Its $404K median house just value runs 13% below the $465K county median [1]. The median Cloud Lake house was built in 1953 (1989 countywide), and 79% were built before 1980, against 27% across the county [1]. Homestead covers 44% of Cloud Lake house parcels, against 74% countywide [1].

With 43 house parcels, the roll supports a snapshot, not a price trend or a sale median, so this page makes no claim about market direction. Town rules and current listings are not on the roll: ask Brian what is available for your client, or start with the West Palm Beach page for a wider search.

Does your Cloud Lake client have a home to sell first?

Send the referral details, or choose a time for a 15-minute seller call with Brian. Sellers can also read the Stress-Free Sale guide and request a free home valuation.

How do property taxes work for a Cloud Lake buyer?

Property values come from the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser [5] and bills from the Palm Beach County Tax Collector [6]. Millage: the 2025 final table lists Cloud Lake at 0.0000, so there is no town levy to add; the rest of the bill depends on the county, school and special districts for the address [3].

What can a buyer expect on the tax side? Four rules cover most of it.

Homestead exemption: up to $50,000, with the first $25,000 on all levies and the rest on non-school levies above $50,000 of assessed value [7].
Eligibility: ownership and permanent residence by Jan 1, with the application due March 1 [7].
Cap on homestead growth: the lesser of 3% or CPI, which is 2.7% for 2026 [8].
Cap without homestead: 10% a year except school levies, with a reset to just value after a sale [9].

Voters approved Amendment 3 on Nov 3, 2026, and it applies starting Jan 1, 2027. For non-school taxes the homestead exemption becomes $150,000 in 2027 and $250,000 in 2028, and the cap on non-homestead assessment increases drops from 10% to 5% [10]. A buyer who was not a Florida resident on Dec 31, 2026 gets the $25,000 school exemption plus up to $50,000 against non-school taxes at first, and the larger exemption starts in the fifth year [10]. The property appraiser can say how that lines up with your client's move date. General information, not tax advice. Flood zones are address by address, so use FEMA's Flood Map Service Center [11].

How do I find the school assignment for a Cloud Lake address?

Assignment is the district's call, not a real estate site's. Look the address up with the School District of Palm Beach County [12] before telling a client which school applies.

What nearby places do referrals cover?

Your client may also look at West Palm Beach, Glen Ridge or Haverhill. Each has its own page. The Palm Beach County referral page has the Palm Beach County view, and the national agent referral page has the full process. For a client coming from out of state, the Florida relocation timeline lays out the steps. More about Brian is on the about page.
