Public data reviewed August 2026

Public safety

Clermont and unincorporated Lake County use different agencies

Clermont has its own police department; a Clermont mailing address outside city limits is generally served by the Lake County Sheriff. The latest annual crime report currently linked by the city covers 2022, so address-level research is more useful than repeating an old citywide ranking.

Schools

Lake County earned an A district grade in 2026

Twenty-one district schools earned an A and 17 earned a B—72% of graded schools. Individual Clermont assignments and grades vary, especially for homes outside incorporated city limits, so buyers should verify the exact attendance zone.

Shopping and daily errands

Downtown and the highway corridors offer different experiences

Downtown Clermont provides independent restaurants, breweries, boutiques and a Sunday farmers market near the waterfront. Most large-format retail and routine errands are concentrated along SR 50 and US 27.

Traffic and commuting

The average commute is 31.3 minutes

Clermont residents identified traffic as a leading planning concern. The city and Lake-Sumter MPO are studying SR 50 between 12th Street and US 27, and the SR 50/US 27 area is the key local bottleneck to test during a weekday drive.

Broader Clermont mailing market

Fast growth layered onto an established Lake County housing market

The Census Bureau estimates that Clermont grew 22.8% from its 2020 estimate base to July 2025. That rate helps explain the area's mix of new construction, recently completed subdivisions and older homes where roof, electrical, plumbing and HVAC documentation may span several ownership cycles.

Clermont also has the highest share of residents age 65 or older among these five profiles at 23.6%. That does not describe any individual home, but it helps explain why the local market includes both conventional family housing and age-oriented communities with different access, maintenance and insurance considerations.

ATTOM's Clermont sales count covers a broader three-ZIP mailing market, not just incorporated Clermont. City-limit verification remains essential for permit research and short-term-rental questions.

Data sources and boundaries

Census and ACS figures are estimates; margins of error are available at the linked sources. Postal areas, Census places and incorporated city limits are not interchangeable. Sales figures are labeled with their reported geographic scope and should not be treated as a parcel-level market analysis.

Clermont vacation-rental and permit resources

The City of Clermont publishes a vacation-rental application process and building-permit information. Buyers should confirm city limits and current requirements directly with the applicable authority.

Public records and regulations can change. Hometown Inspections does not determine zoning, licensing, code compliance or association approval; verify those matters with the responsible authority.
