Sarasota, FL
Condo on the Bay
Two 18-floor towers on Boulevard of the Arts, both completed in 1982, assessed by the county as 136 units at 888 and 138 at 988, roughly 274 homes in total across the pair. Each tower is its own recorded complex, so fees and reserve positions are read tower by tower rather than for the property as a whole. The site sits on the bay just north of downtown, near the Van Wezel and the Quay district.

community record
County-roll figures are withheld for this community: the parcel set matched to its name describes a different building, so the sales, homestead and completion figures derived from it would describe that place rather than this community.
Michael’s Take
Tower I (888 Blvd of the Arts, 136 units) and Tower II (988, 138 units) are separately recorded. Confirm which tower, the numbers differ.

Condo on the Bay Management Corporation, Inc
Condominium associationMatched to Condo on the Bay because: Florida’s register of condominiums records this association as the managing entity of Condo on the Bay Tower I, Tower II and Marina Suites at 888 and 988 Boulevard of the Arts, which is the address this site gives for the community, and the register counts 300 units against the 274 this site reads from the county roll, close enough to be the same building and recorded as the small difference it is. THE ADDRESS ALONE WOULD NOT BE ENOUGH: the register sometimes stores the managing entity’s mailing address in that field rather than the building’s, which is how two unrelated condominiums both came back for one Cocoanut Avenue address during this research. The unit count is what confirms it.
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.

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.

Condo on the Bay FAQ
What kind of homes are in Condo on the Bay?+
Condo on the Bay offers bayfront condominium. 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.
Does Condo on the Bay have an HOA or CDD fee?+
Condo on the Bay has an HOA fee estimated at $17,576 - $37,880 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 Condo on the Bay in?+
The flood zone recorded for Condo on the Bay is AE. 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.
