How Sea Grape Inn compares
From the county records
0%
Of the 8 finished houses here carry a homestead exemption, which reads as almost entirely second homes, rentals and investors.
Newest building completed 1983. 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 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 a strong proxy for how many owners live here full time, not a census of them.
At an estimated $28,886 a year in combined HOA and CDD, Sea Grape Inn sits about 44% above the Longboat Key median of $20,000, ranking 48 of the 62 Longboat Key communities whose fees this site tracks. There is no CDD assessment here, which is what keeps that figure down.

The county records no completions here in the last three years, so Sea Grape Inn 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.

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 Sea Grape Inn in?+
The flood zone recorded for Sea Grape Inn 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.
