How Club Longboat compares
From the county records
$850,000
Median of 15 recorded sales since October 2023, the middle eighty percent between $575,000 and $1,005,000.
19%
Of the 101 finished houses here carry a homestead exemption, which reads as largely second homes and seasonal owners.
Newest building completed 1999. The roll records no completions here in the last three years, so this is a built-out community rather than one still being delivered.
Arm’s-length sales recorded with Sarasota 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 a strong proxy for how many owners live here full time, not a census of them.
At an estimated $24,682 a year in combined HOA and CDD, Club Longboat sits about 23% above the Longboat Key median of $20,000, ranking 42 of the 62 Longboat Key communities whose fees this site tracks. There is no CDD assessment here, which is what keeps that figure down.

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.

What have homes in Club Longboat actually sold for?+

Do people live in Club Longboat year round?+

It is a strong proxy rather than a census, since an owner who lives there but never filed does not appear in it, but it is the most direct public signal of how occupied a community is outside the winter.
Is Club Longboat still being built?+
The most recent home the county records in Club Longboat was completed in 1999, across 104 platted parcels of which 101 carry a finished home. The county records no completions here in the last three years, so Club Longboat is built out and what trades is resale rather than new construction. 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 Club Longboat have an HOA or CDD fee?+
Club Longboat has an HOA fee estimated at $23,364 - $26,000 yearly, and the fee data for this community records no CDD assessment. That matters more than it sounds: a CDD is a bond repayment attached to the land and billed with your property taxes, so its absence is a permanent annual difference against communities that carry one. Figures are estimates and vary by home, so confirm them for the specific address before relying on them.
What flood zone is Club Longboat in?+
The flood zone recorded for Club Longboat is AE. 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.
