THE ADDRESS IS THE EVIDENCE, NOT THE NAME.

- Not-for-profit corporation registered with the Florida Division of Corporations
No officer, director or registered agent is listed here. The corporate register publishes all three 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.
Bent Tree Village Association, Inc.
No public documents have been located for this association yet.
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.

Bent Tree FAQ
Can you still buy a new home in Bent Tree?+
Bent Tree 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 Bent Tree?+
Bent Tree offers single family, villas & condos. Attached homes carry an association that maintains the building itself, so the fee covers more than it would on a single-family home and the association's reserves matter to you directly. 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 Bent Tree?+
Golf is central to Bent Tree, 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 Bent Tree Country Club, which is semi private. 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 Bent Tree have?+
Bent Tree offers 18-hole Bill Lewis golf course (1975), Community center & pool, Tennis courts, Gated entry · 9 subdivisions, Hammocks at Bent Tree, 55+ section (186 units), among others. 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.
