How Pinestone compares
From the county records
$286,000
Median of 34 recorded sales since October 2023, the middle eighty percent between $249,000 and $370,000.
20%
Of the 310 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 2000. 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 $6,048 a year in combined HOA and CDD, Pinestone sits about 56% below the Sarasota median of $13,676, ranking 25 of the 90 Sarasota communities whose fees this site tracks. There is no CDD assessment here, which is what keeps that figure down.

Pinestone at Palmer Ranch Association, Inc.
Neighborhood associationMatched to Pinestone because: Florida’s Division of Corporations register records this as an ACTIVE not-for-profit corporation, document number N95000003567, filed 27 July 1995, with its principal address at 3701 South Osprey Avenue, Sarasota, FL 34239. The corporate name says "at Palmer Ranch" outright, which settles the place. 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. The register also holds several numbered Pinestone at Palmer Ranch CONDOMINIUM associations, numbers 10 through 15 among them, all inactive for management purposes, and a four-unit Pinestone #2 at Palmer Ranch condominium on Glenrose Way. So parts of this community are condominium and parts are not.

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.
Pinestone at Palmer Ranch 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.

Pinestone FAQ
Can you still buy a new home in Pinestone?+
Pinestone 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 Pinestone?+
Pinestone offers single family & villas. 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 amenities does Pinestone have?+
Pinestone offers Community pool & tennis courts, Central Sarasota Pkwy location. 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.
What have homes in Pinestone actually sold for?+
34 arm's-length sales have been recorded in Pinestone since October 2023, at a median of $286,000. The middle eighty percent of those sales fell between $249,000 and $370,000, 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 Pinestone year round?+
20% of the 310 matched residential units in Pinestone 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 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 Pinestone still being built?+
The most recent home the county records in Pinestone was completed in 2000, across 311 platted parcels of which 310 carry a finished home. The county records no completions in Pinestone 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 Pinestone have an HOA or CDD fee?+
Pinestone has an HOA fee estimated at $5,436 - $6,660 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 Pinestone in?+
The flood zone recorded for Pinestone 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.
