These two figures are 22% apart. These two figures count different things and have not been reconciled. The roll counts parcels inside the boundary matched to this name; the community figure may cover plats the roll matched separately, or an association roster. Neither is presented here as the size of the community.

Michael’s Take
No CDD, confirmed against the county roll. Amenities are minimal by design; the product is the house and the lot.
How Country Meadows compares
From the county records
$730,000
Median of 32 recorded sales since October 2023, the middle eighty percent between $575,000 and $880,000.
87%
Of the 314 matched residential units here claim a homestead exemption, which reads as most homes here are claimed as a permanent residence.
Newest completion recorded 2018. The roll records no completions here in the last three years. Most of what trades is resale, though an absence of recent completions is not by itself proof a community is closed to new building.
Arm’s-length sales recorded with Manatee County, read October 2026. Quitclaims, foreclosures, family transfers and pre-construction sales are excluded. Homestead requires the property to be a permanent residence, so the share carrying one is reported here as a share of matched residential units rather than as a count of who lives here. Homestead is a tax filing, not an occupancy count. A rented home can house full-time residents and will never carry the exemption, and an owner who lives here but never filed does not appear in it either. Read it as what share of matched residential units claim the exemption, not as who lives here.
At an estimated $909 a year in combined HOA and CDD, Country Meadows sits about 49% below the Bradenton median of $1,783, ranking 7 of the 23 Bradenton communities whose fees this site tracks. There is no CDD assessment here, which is what keeps that figure down.

Country Meadows Community Association, Inc.
Master associationMatched to Country Meadows because: Florida’s Division of Corporations register records this as an ACTIVE not-for-profit corporation, document number N04000003938, filed on 20 April 2004, with its principal address at 431 12th Street West, Bradenton, FL 34205. THE ADDRESS IS THE EVIDENCE, NOT THE NAME, and it refused candidates in this batch as well as passing them: a Braden Woods OFFICE PARK association is commercial, a River Place condominium association is registered at ELLENTON rather than Bradenton, and a 1980 Crossings condominium association does not match a Neal Communities neighbourhood of 225 homes. None of those was written.

No officer, director or registered agent is listed here. The corporate register publishes all three by name, and several give a home address; none of that belongs in a public directory of community documents.
Board members and officers are not listed here. They change often, and their names are on the association’s own records and in the state’s corporate filings, which is where they should be read from rather than from a page that cannot keep up.
Country Meadows Community Association, Inc.
No public documents have been located for this association yet.
Nothing found is not the same as nothing in force. Every community in Florida with an association has governing documents; this says only that they have not been found in a public place.
The governing body is known and nothing it publishes is public. That is a gap in what has been published, not evidence that the community has no restrictions. This list records what has been found in public, not everything that governs the property. Before an offer I pull the full document set for the specific address along with the association’s budget and financials.

Country Meadows FAQ
Who builds homes in Country Meadows?+
Country Meadows is built by Medallion Home. Those homes now trade as resales rather than through the builder, so the original warranty has usually expired and the condition of the specific house matters more than who built it. Roof age is the first thing to establish, because Florida insurers weight it heavily.
What kind of homes are in Country Meadows?+
Country Meadows offers single-family. As single-family housing, the roof, the exterior and the insurance on the structure are yours rather than an association's, which is the main practical difference from a villa or condominium. What a specific home includes, and what the association maintains, is set out in that community's documents and is worth reading before an offer rather than after.
Is golf membership required at Country Meadows?+
Golf is central to Country Meadows, but living in a golf community and holding a golf membership are two different things and the distinction costs real money. Membership structures vary: some are required with the home, some optional, some sold separately to non-residents, and some carry a waiting list. Confirm which applies to the specific address, and the current dues, directly with the club before relying on it.
What amenities does Country Meadows have?+
Country Meadows offers Large lots, 90% of homes have a private pool, Deed-restricted. Worth separating two things that often get blurred together: amenities the HOA maintains and which every owner pays for, and club or golf facilities that may require a separate membership on top. Which category each amenity falls into determines your actual annual cost, and it is set out in the community documents rather than in any listing.
What have homes in Country Meadows actually sold for?+
32 arm's-length sales have been recorded in Country Meadows since October 2023, at a median of $730,000. The middle eighty percent of those sales fell between $575,000 and $880,000, which is a better guide to the range than the extremes. These are prices recorded with Manatee County, not asking prices, so they describe what buyers and sellers actually agreed. Figures read October 2026; quitclaims, foreclosures and family transfers are excluded.
Do people live in Country Meadows year round?+
87% of the 314 matched residential units in Country Meadows claim a homestead exemption, which Florida grants only on an owner's permanent residence, read from the Manatee County roll in October 2026. That reads as most homes here are claimed as a permanent residence. Homestead is a tax filing, not an occupancy count. A rented home can house full-time residents and will never carry the exemption, and an owner who lives here but never filed does not appear in it either. Read it as what share of matched residential units claim the exemption, not as who lives here.
Is Country Meadows still being built?+
The most recent home the county records in Country Meadows was completed in 2018, across 346 platted parcels of which 314 carry a finished home. The county records no completions in Country Meadows in the last three years, so what trades is resale. An absence of recent completions is not by itself proof that no further building is permitted. Build year matters more in Florida than buyers expect, because insurers weight roof age heavily and it drives what a property costs to carry rather than just what it costs to buy.
Does Country Meadows have an HOA or CDD fee?+
Country Meadows has an HOA fee estimated at $630 - $1,188 yearly, and the fee data for this community records no CDD assessment. A community development district bills through your property taxes rather than through the association, and its assessment can carry two separate components: debt service, which repays the bonds that funded roads, drainage and amenities, and an operations and maintenance charge, which does not end with the bonds. A community without a district avoids both as currently assessed. Figures are estimates, assessments are set annually, and both vary by home and phase, so confirm them for the specific address before relying on them.
What flood zone is Country Meadows in?+
The flood zone recorded for Country Meadows is X. Zones beginning A or V are the higher-risk categories, where a federally backed mortgage generally requires flood insurance, while zone X is lower risk and coverage is usually optional. Flood zone is assigned per property rather than per community though, and elevation can change both the requirement and the premium substantially, so get the zone and the elevation certificate for the exact address rather than relying on a community-level figure.
