What's New Clermont

09/04/2026

It seems like many conversations around Clermont business relate to Historic Clermont and the major highways. But there is so much more to our community than just those limited areas:

Citrus Tower
Verde Ridge
The College
The Hospitals (all 3 of them!)
Waterbrooke
Kings Ridge
Hartwood Marsh
Wellness Way
Hammock Ridge
Legends

If you live OUTSIDE of Historic Clermont, let me know what matters most to you as we head into this budget cycle (don’t worry, if you’re concerned about traffic, I’m paying attention already); tell me something I haven’t heard yet! How can those in your government help make your life a little better this coming year?

I ❤️ Clermont

What's New Clermont:

🚸 Back to School = Bus Stop Safety 🚸

It’s that time of year again! School is back in session, which means more kids walking, biking, and waiting at bus stops in our neighborhoods.

Please slow down, stay alert, and watch for children crossing the street. Also remember to STOP — especially when buses are stopped with their lights flashing and stop arms extended.

Let’s keep our kids safe this school year!

What's New Clermont: A Lower Millage Rate!!!!

A proposed lowered millage rate was approved at the City Council this week. See further information below 👇

For the second consecutive year, the Clermont City Council approved a lower proposed millage rate.

This decision reflects the City's continued commitment to strong financial stewardship while maintaining the high quality services our community expects.

City Manager Rick Van Wagner shared:
"I am proud of the progress we have made over the past two years. Since becoming City Manager, strengthening the City's financial position has been one of my highest priorities. Together, we have reduced the millage rate, earned three nationally recognized financial awards, and built a stronger financial foundation for the future. This proposed millage reduction reflects our commitment to responsible financial management while continuing to invest in the services and infrastructure that make Clermont the Choice of Champions®."
