How Burns Court Villas compares
From the county records
$1,526,000
Median of 7 recorded sales since October 2023, the middle eighty percent between $1,310,000 and $1,562,000.
30%
Of the 23 matched residential units here claim a homestead exemption, which reads as a minority of homes here are claimed as a permanent residence.
Newest completion recorded 2007. 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.
At an estimated $18,384 a year in combined HOA and CDD, Burns Court Villas sits about 34% above the Sarasota median of $13,676, ranking 55 of the 90 Sarasota communities whose fees this site tracks. There is no CDD assessment here, which is what keeps that figure down.

Burns Court Villas Condo Assn Inc
Condominium associationMatched to Burns Court Villas because: Florida’s register of condominiums records this association as the managing entity of Burns Court Villas, a condominium in Sarasota County, and the unit count agrees EXACTLY, 23 against 23. THE COUNT IS THE GATE, NOT THE PROOF. Three other candidates in this batch had an agreeing count and were still refused: Isles of Sarasota matched Harbor Isles on the word Isles alone, Bay Point matched Vista Bay Point which this site lists separately, and St. Armands matched a four-unit building called St Armands Place. The name has to mean the same thing as well.
Who to contact
- Contact role
- Condominium association; the state register names it as the managing entity
No individual officer, director or manager is listed here. The register names the managing corporation; the current board is a matter for the association or Sunbiz.
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.
Burns Court Villas Condo Assn 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.

Burns Court Villas FAQ
What kind of homes are in Burns Court Villas?+
Burns Court Villas offers burns court villa. 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.
What have homes in Burns Court Villas actually sold for?+

The middle eighty percent of those sales fell between $1,310,000 and $1,562,000, 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 Burns Court Villas year round?+

That reads as a minority of homes here are claimed as a permanent residence. 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 Burns Court Villas still being built?+
The most recent home the county records in Burns Court Villas was completed in 2007, across 24 platted parcels of which 23 carry a finished home. The county records no completions in Burns Court Villas 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.
Does Burns Court Villas have an HOA or CDD fee?+
Burns Court Villas has an HOA fee estimated at $18,384 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 Burns Court Villas in?+
The flood zone recorded for Burns Court Villas 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.
