No officer, director or registered agent is listed here. The register publishes them 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.

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.

Fairways at Imperial Lakewoods FAQ
Can you still buy a new home in Fairways at Imperial Lakewoods?+
Fairways at Imperial Lakewoods is essentially sold out of new construction, so homes here come up as resale. I can set you up with alerts the moment one hits the market and give you an honest read on value before you offer.
What kind of homes are in Fairways at Imperial Lakewoods?+
Fairways at Imperial Lakewoods 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 Fairways at Imperial Lakewoods?+
Golf is central to Fairways at Imperial Lakewoods, but living in a golf community and holding a golf membership are two different things and the distinction costs real money. The course here is Imperial Lakewoods Golf Club, which is public. 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 Fairways at Imperial Lakewoods have?+
Fairways at Imperial Lakewoods offers Imperial Lakewoods Golf Club (membership optional), #18 hole: Manatee County's best · Golf Hole Hall of Fame, Club restaurant open to all residents, Golf-course, pond & tree-canopy views, Not gated · low HOA · pet-friendly. 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.
Does Fairways at Imperial Lakewoods have an HOA or CDD fee?+
Fairways at Imperial Lakewoods has an HOA fee estimated at $564 - $700 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 Fairways at Imperial Lakewoods in?+
The flood zone recorded for Fairways at Imperial Lakewoods 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.
