What stands out about how Eatonville is run
Read from the town’s budget and official records.
Orange County School District
Eatonville’s K–12 school district, shared with Apopka, Bay Lake, Belle Isle, Edgewood, Lake Buena Vista and more. It’s its own government, with a budget separate from the town’s.
Of the $12,678 per pupil, $7,148 goes to the classroom (teachers, aides, supplies); the rest to buses, buildings, counselors and administration. Building projects and debt payments aren’t in the per-pupil figure.
Florida districts overall: 55% local, 29% state, 15% federal.

No comparison or trend for Eatonville yet
The fair comparison uses 2022, the last year the Census Bureau counted every government (later years are a sample), and Eatonville’s 2022 operating figures are mostly a Census estimate, so they aren’t compared. It reported 2022 only, so there is no trend yet either. The next full count is 2027.

Every local property tax on the home: town, schools and county. About 0.70% of the home’s value, vs 0.76% across Florida.
Typical yearly bill next door and statewide
The Housing page’s calculator splits a monthly payment into loan, tax and insurance at Eatonville’s rate.
Can I afford it? →The median bill homeowners report to the Census survey (bills of $10,000+ are reported as “$10,000+”). The effective rate is that bill ÷ the median home value: a rough guide, not the official tax rate. In a town this small the estimate has a wide margin.
