03The Orlando Atlas · Maitland
A city of small lakes on the SunRail line.
Maitland sits on Lake Maitland, with Winter Park to the south, the Town of Eatonville to the southwest and Interstate 4 crossing the west side of the city. The dashed line is the city limit. Pick a nearby area to read its guide.
Three lakes worth knowing
The city looks after 21 lakes, canals and waterways. About three quarters of Lake Maitland lies in Winter Park; it is the lowest lake of the Winter Park chain, and a navigable canal runs from it to Lake Minnehaha. Ft. Maitland Park on Lake Maitland has the only city boat ramp. Motorized boats need a City of Maitland boat pass; canoes and kayaks use the lakes free.

Much of Maitland’s housing is fairly new: the median home was built in 1996 (Census, 2020 to 2024). About a third of homes (34.4%) are detached houses, 8.6% are townhomes and other attached houses, and a quarter are in buildings of 50 or more units. These are the points Zoya checks with buyers before an offer goes in.
-
Inside the city, or only a Maitland address?
Only about 69% of ZIP 32751 is inside city limits. The rest is Fern Park, Eatonville, small parts of Casselberry and Altamonte Springs, and other unincorporated land, and a quarter of the ZIP lies in Seminole County. Homes on the city’s west side are in ZIP 32810, most of which is outside Maitland. Look the parcel up on the Orange County or Seminole County Property Appraiser site.
-
Condo and association papers
With more than half of the city’s homes in apartment or condo buildings, many purchases come with an association. Ask early for the budget, the fees, recent meeting minutes and the rental rules. A community development district, if there is one, shows up on the tax bill.
-
Living on a lake
Lakefront owners need a city permit before they alter a shoreline or remove water plants, and the city bans lawn fertilizer with nitrogen or phosphorus from June 1 to September 30, with no exception for certified applicators (City of Maitland Lakes Management).
-
Flood zone and insurance
Look up the exact address on FEMA’s Flood Map Service Center, since zones can differ between neighbors, and get flood and homeowners insurance quotes while your inspection period is still open.
-
The city part of the tax bill
Maitland’s own rate was 5.0465 mills, plus 0.1960 for voted bonds, for October 2025 to September 2026. The city’s draft budget for the year that began October 1, 2026 keeps that rate and adds 0.289 mills for the new library bonds, so ask what the next bill will be, not only the last one.
-
Rental plans
The City of Maitland sets its own short term rental rules. If rental income is part of the plan, read the question on short term rentals and check the current city code first.
05Selling
Selling a home in Maitland
Homes sold in a median 35 days and close to their asking price in the three months to August 2026. With only 74 sales in August, one quarter can move the median a lot, so your price should come from homes like yours.
Redfin, Maitland housing market: days and sale to list for the 3 months to August 2026; homes sold for August 2026. Read October 7, 2026.
Compare like with like. A detached house by a lake and a unit in a large condo building sell to different buyers at different prices. Zoya prices from recent sales of the same kind of home nearby, so the list price holds up when buyers check it.
Name the lake. If your home is on a lake, say which one and whether a boat can reach the Winter Park chain, and have any dock or shoreline permits ready to show.
Mention what is a walk away. If your home is a short walk from the SunRail station, Lake Lily Park or Independence Square, put the distance in the listing.

The Census value is what owners think their home is worth, over 2020 to 2024, so it is not a sale price and does not compare with Redfin. Redfin does not say whether its Maitland figures follow the city limits or the mailing address, and here that matters, because ZIP 32751 reaches well beyond the city. Closing costs are covered in the buyer closing costs guide.

11Questions
Maitland real estate questions
What buyers and sellers ask about Maitland, answered with the official source for each.
What county is Maitland, FL in?
Orange County. The whole city is in Orange County, but its main ZIP code is not: only about 69% of ZIP 32751 lies inside city limits, the rest takes in Fern Park, Eatonville, small parts of Casselberry and Altamonte Springs and other unincorporated land, and about a quarter of it is in Seminole County. The city’s west side is in ZIP 32810, which is mostly outside Maitland. So a “Maitland, FL 32751” address does not prove a home is in the city or in Orange County. City limits decide which city rules and taxes apply, so check the parcel on the Orange County or Seminole County Property Appraiser site (Census 2020 ZIP code areas and Vintage 2025 estimates).
How much does a home cost in Maitland?
The median sale price was $609,597 in the three months to August 2026, with homes selling in a median 35 days at 97.2% of list price (Redfin). That median mixes condos, townhomes and detached houses, and with only 74 sales in August it can move a lot from one quarter to the next. For comparison, owners put the median value of their homes at $523,200 in the Census survey for 2020 to 2024.
What are property taxes in Maitland?
For October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2026 the city levied 5.0465 mills for operating costs and 0.1960 mills for its voted bonds, about $5.24 for every $1,000 of taxable value, for the city part of the bill only (city tax schedule). The city’s draft budget for October 2026 to September 2027 keeps the operating rate and adds 0.289 mills for the library bonds voters approved in 2024, which the draft puts at about $145 a year on a home with a $500,000 taxable value (FY 2027 draft budget).
School, county and other levies are added on top and vary by parcel; see any parcel on the Orange County Property Appraiser and Tax Collector sites. If the home will be your permanent residence, the homestead exemption can lower its taxable value; you apply to the county property appraiser (Florida Department of Revenue).
Which public schools serve a Maitland home?
Homes inside the city are in Orange County Public Schools, and the assigned school depends on the exact address. Check each address in the OCPS Find My School locator; OCPS notes that it does not show rezoning approved during the current school year. A home with a Maitland mailing address in the Seminole County part of ZIP 32751 is in Seminole County Public Schools.
Can I keep a boat on a Maitland lake?
Yes, with a pass. A motorized boat needs a City of Maitland boat pass to use any lake in the city, while canoes and kayaks are free. The only city boat ramp is at Ft. Maitland Park on Lake Maitland, which is part of the Winter Park chain, and Lake Minnehaha connects to it by a navigable canal. Owners also need a city permit to alter a shoreline or remove water plants (Ft. Maitland Park, Lakes Management).
How far is Maitland from the Orlando airport and Disney?
About 36 minutes (18.3 miles) to Orlando International Airport and 48 minutes (31.2 miles) to Magic Kingdom without traffic, and 15 minutes (7.8 miles) to downtown Orlando. These are free flow car routes from the city center (OSRM, October 2026), so allow more time at rush hour. SunRail trains stop in Maitland on weekdays.
Can I rent out a Maitland home short term?
It depends on the city code in force when you buy. The City Council took up an ordinance on short term rentals in homes of one to four units in November 2018, and the current rules are in the City of Maitland Code of Ordinances. Association rules can be stricter. If rental income is part of your plan, ask a Florida real estate attorney how the rules apply to the home you want before you sign.
