How Bent Tree Village compares
From the county records
$660,000
Median of 88 recorded sales since October 2023, the middle eighty percent between $455,000 and $1,175,000.
57%
Of the 726 matched residential units here claim a homestead exemption, which reads as a mix of homes claimed as a permanent residence and homes that are not.
Newest completion recorded 2016. The roll records no completions here in the last three years. Most of what trades is resale, though an absence of recent completions is not by itself proof a community is closed to new building.
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 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.

Bent Tree Village Association, Inc.
Neighborhood associationMatched to Bent Tree Village because: Florida’s Division of Corporations register records this as an ACTIVE not-for-profit corporation, document number 731745, filed 1970s or 1980s, per the register’s old document-number series, with its principal address at 5602 Marquesas Circle, Suite 103, Sarasota, FL 34233. The address is in Sarasota, a few doors from the Palmer Ranch master’s own managing office on the same circle. THE PRINCIPAL ADDRESS IS A MANAGEMENT OFFICE RATHER THAN AN ADDRESS INSIDE THE COMMUNITY, so the address could not do the confirming and the match rests on the other facts named here. This site describes Bent Tree Village as ONE OF NINE SUBDIVISIONS within the 450-home Bent Tree community, and the register supports that shape: it also holds Bent Tree Village Unit 2 and Unit 3 maintenance and property owners associations, Bent Tree Villas East and West condominium associations, and a Bent Tree Water Management Association. Establish which of those a specific address answers to before quoting a fee.

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.
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 Village FAQ
Can you still buy a new home in Bent Tree Village?+
Bent Tree Village 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 Village?+
Bent Tree Village offers 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 Village?+
Golf is central to Bent Tree Village, but living in a golf community and holding a golf membership are two different things and the distinction costs real money. 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 have homes in Bent Tree Village actually sold for?+
88 arm's-length sales have been recorded in Bent Tree Village since October 2023, at a median of $660,000. The middle eighty percent of those sales fell between $455,000 and $1,175,000, which is a better guide to the range than the extremes. These are prices recorded with Sarasota County, not asking prices, so they describe what buyers and sellers actually agreed. Figures read October 2026; quitclaims, foreclosures and family transfers are excluded.
Do people live in Bent Tree Village year round?+
57% of the 726 matched residential units in Bent Tree Village claim a homestead exemption, which Florida grants only on an owner's permanent residence, read from the Sarasota County roll in October 2026. That reads as a mix of homes claimed as a permanent residence and homes that are not. 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.
Is Bent Tree Village still being built?+
The most recent home the county records in Bent Tree Village was completed in 2016, across 733 platted parcels of which 726 carry a finished home. The county records no completions in Bent Tree Village in the last three years, so what trades is resale. An absence of recent completions is not by itself proof that no further building is permitted. 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.
