Median of 199 recorded sales since October 2023, the middle eighty percent between $363,000 and $480,000.
79%
Of the 434 matched residential units here claim a homestead exemption, which reads as most homes here are claimed as a permanent residence.
Still delivering. 37% of the parcels here were completed in the last three years, the most recent in 2025.
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 $3,716 a year in combined HOA and CDD, Aviary at Rutland Ranch sits about 32% above the Parrish median of $2,808, ranking 33 of the 42 Parrish communities whose fees this site tracks.

Filed with the state rather than published by the district, which is why the source page is the Auditor General’s site rather than a district website. It establishes the district’s legal creation and county; it does not give a per-lot assessment.
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.

Both are billed with your property taxes rather than by the association, and both are separate from the HOA. Assessments are set annually and vary by home and phase, so confirm the current components for the specific address.
What flood zone is Aviary at Rutland Ranch 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.
