A boater's address first, a house second. The county roll assesses 389 lots across ten recorded plats, with homes built from 1962 to 2025, in Sarasota County.

Michael’s Take

County roll: 389 assessed lots across ten recorded plats (Country Club Shores Units 1 to 5, plat book 16 page 22 onward), homes built 1962 to 2025, Sarasota County. The spread of build years is the story here: an early-1960s Arvida canal plat that owners have been rebuilding on ever since. No CDD; Longboat Key carries none.

How Country Club Shores compares

From the county records

$2,925,000

Median of 48 recorded sales since October 2023, the middle eighty percent between $1,750,000 and $5,500,000.

30%

Of the 369 finished houses here carry a homestead exemption, which reads as largely second homes and seasonal owners.

Newest building completed 2025. 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 $188 a year in combined HOA and CDD, Country Club Shores sits about 99% below the Longboat Key median of $20,000, ranking 1 of the 62 Longboat Key communities whose fees this site tracks. There is no CDD assessment here, which is what keeps that figure down.

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 Club Shores?+

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 Club Shores actually sold for?+

Do people live in Country Club Shores year round?+

30% of the 369 finished homes in Country Club Shores carry a homestead exemption, which Florida grants only on an owner's permanent residence. That reads as largely second homes and seasonal owners. 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 Country Club Shores still being built?+

The most recent home the county records in Country Club Shores was completed in 2025, across 388 platted parcels of which 369 carry a finished home. The county records no completions here in the last three years, so Country Club Shores 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 Country Club Shores have an HOA or CDD fee?+

Country Club Shores has an HOA fee estimated at $100 - $275 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 Country Club Shores in?+

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.
