About Windermere

Windermere sits on an isthmus between Lake Down and Lake Butler, part of the Butler Chain of Lakes, and the water shapes much of what property owners here deal with. Rain that runs off roofs, driveways and streets reaches storm drains and then the lakes untreated, so the Town asks residents to keep yard debris out of streets and ditches. Many town streets are still unpaved. Owners of lakefront property are told to contact the state and county agencies before any dock or seawall work, since permits may apply.

Not every Windermere address is inside the town. The incorporated town is small compared with the wider area that uses a Windermere address, so many properties sit in unincorporated Orange County, Isleworth among them. The Town does not supply water or sewer, so residents either rely on private wells and septic tanks or connect to Orange County Utilities. Landmarks such as the Cal Palmer Memorial Building and the historic Town Hall show that parts of downtown are many decades old. Confirm which jurisdiction covers an address, and check with your local building department or HOA before bigger projects.
