What Does It Take to Buy a Home in Marsala at Tiburón?

Buying a home in Marsala at Tiburón means buying one of 56 detached pool homes on Marsala Way, Naples FL 34109, the only Tiburón neighborhood east of Livingston Road, under a Chapter 720 homeowners association, outside the Pelican Marsh CDD, with a lot-by-lot flood record to read. Five sold in the last year at a $3,500,000 median.

The full record of the neighborhood, the recorded declaration and its fifteen amendments, the four WCI plans, the flood letters and the permit history, is on our Marsala at Tiburón guide, which this buyer page sits beside, and the community around it is on our Tiburón community guide. This page is about the purchase: what to check, in what order, and what it costs to own. Owners on the other side of the table should read how we sell Marsala at Tiburón homes or start with a free Marsala at Tiburón home valuation. Call Marc Comisar at (239) 287-5873 to talk through a specific home.

If you are searching for the best buyer’s agent for Marsala at Tiburón in Naples, Florida, McGreevy and Comisar represents homebuyers across Naples, Estero, Bonita Springs, Fort Myers, Collier County and Lee County. Whether you are relocating, buying a seasonal home or moving up to a detached golf home, including in Tiburón, Pelican Marsh and the North Naples corridor, our team provides honest market guidance, pre-market awareness, partner-level negotiation and a clear plan to help you buy confidently.

Fifty-Six Detached Homes on One Private Street

Marsala is a platted neighborhood of detached single-family homes, not a condominium: its association was formed “under Chapters 617 and 720, Florida Statutes,” and each owner holds a platted lot on Plat Book 47, Pages 11 to 14. Every home is on Marsala Way, a private association street with two cul-de-sacs. If you are comparing teams before you tour, our guide to the best real estate agents in Naples sets them side by side on the public record.

A Gate of Its Own, and a Tax Bill Without a District Line

Marsala has its own gated entrance on Livingston Road, not behind Tiburón’s staffed gatehouse, and the association owns the gate, the street and the entry. Its recorded declaration places it outside the Pelican Marsh Community Development District, so a Marsala tax bill carries the county’s solid-waste charge and no District line at all.

What Marsala Does Not Have

Marsala has no neighborhood pool, clubhouse, tennis court or fitness room, no mandatory club membership, no buyer-approval process and no vacant lot left to build on. The recreation is your own pool, 55 of the 56 homes have one, and the Black Course behind every lot. A buyer who wants shared amenities or a new build should look elsewhere in Tiburón, and we cover every neighborhood in it.

Why Do Marsala at Tiburón Buyers Work With McGreevy and Comisar?

Marsala at Tiburón buyers work with McGreevy and Comisar because a Marsala purchase turns on documents a general agent rarely reads: the lot’s FEMA panel and letter, the $3,000 resale capital assessment, the two estoppels, the club transfer window and the plan behind the square footage. Jesse McGreevy and Marc Comisar are Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008.

What a Buyer’s Agent Owes You at Marsala

Your agent should tell you which lot you are really buying, lake or fairway, standard or cul-de-sac; which county square-foot figure sits under a listing’s price per foot; which FEMA panel and letter govern the home; what the $3,000 resale capital assessment and the master contribution add at closing; and whether the home’s club membership can transfer. That is the job, and it is the job we do.

Who Does the Work

Marc Comisar runs the buy side in the field: tours through Marsala’s gate, inspections, contractor quotes and the walk-through. Jesse McGreevy runs the data, the documents and the association and club paperwork. Reach Marc at (239) 287-5873 or Jesse at (239) 898-6072, and read more on our about McGreevy and Comisar page.

Key Takeaways for a Marsala at Tiburón Buyer

The key takeaways for a Marsala at Tiburón buyer are short: a small, active market at the top of Tiburón’s detached tier, a recurring cost stack without a District line, two one-time charges at closing, and a flood record that differs lot by lot. Each figure below names its source and window.

  • 56 detached homes, 61 parcels: built 2007 to 2020, median 2013, on lots of 0.32 to 0.89 acre, median 0.37 (Collier County Property Appraiser public roll, 2026 preliminary).
  • Prices: 5 MLS closings in the 12 months to September 18, 2026, median $3,500,000, range $2,800,000 to $4,000,000; 10 qualified county resales in 36 months, median $3,187,500.
  • Two listings were active on September 18, 2026, asking $2,795,000 and $3,675,000.
  • No CDD line: Marsala is outside the Pelican Marsh CDD by its recorded declaration; the 2025 bills carry only the county’s $261.91 solid-waste charge.
  • One-time charges: a $3,000 resale capital assessment, owed by the buyer unless the contract says otherwise, plus the master association’s capital contribution of one quarter of its annual assessment.
  • Flood: 49 of 56 address points read Zone AH on the effective maps; three 2013 FEMA letters cover 47 lots; six homes have mapped AH and no letter.
  • Club: optional; the association says “Club memberships are not required for Marsala homeowners.”
  • Schools: Pelican Marsh Elementary, North Naples Middle and Aubrey Rogers High; Marsala is the only Tiburón neighborhood zoned to North Naples Middle.

How Do We Track the Marsala at Tiburón Market for a Buyer?

We track the Marsala at Tiburón market for a buyer from two independent records: the Southwest Florida MLS for closings and listings, and the Collier County recorded sales and 2026 preliminary roll for every qualified Marsala deed back to 2008. Each figure on this page names its window, its count and its date. We tracked every recorded county deed in that window alongside the MLS closings, so the figures above are the full public record, not a sample.

Data updated: September 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS Matrix, Tiburón development report, pulled September 18, 2026; Collier County Property Appraiser public roll, 2026 preliminary, and DOR-qualified recorded sales, files dated August 29, 2026)

The Window Rule We Follow

A median needs ten or more sales behind it before we call it a market figure. Marsala has five sales in 12 months and seven in 24, so the county headline window is 36 months, the first with ten or more qualified sales. Where a window holds fewer than ten, we list the sales individually.

Why the Numbers on This Page Are the Market’s, Not Ours

We publish no McGreevy and Comisar purchase count for Marsala or for Tiburón. The Matrix pull behind this page did not record the listing or buying office on each closing, and a buyer needs the whole neighborhood’s record to judge a price, not a number about us. The whole record is what follows.

What Is the Marsala at Tiburón Market Like for Buyers Right Now?

The Marsala at Tiburón market is tight but not fast for buyers: the Southwest Florida MLS counts five closings in the twelve months to September 18, 2026 at a $3,500,000 median, the highest in Tiburón, two listings were active that day, and supply ran about 4.8 months against 7.5 for Tiburón as a whole.

Data updated: September 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS Matrix, closed September 18, 2025 to September 18, 2026, pulled September 18, 2026; Collier County recorded sales, files dated August 29, 2026)

Window: the 12 months to September 18, 2026. Five sales, median $3,500,000, a median of $809.79 per square foot of MLS living area. With five sales, read them one by one rather than as a rate. The $4,000,000 sale was the highest closing anywhere in Tiburón in the window.

The Headline Window: Ten Recorded Sales in Three Years

The Collier County sales file carries ten DOR-qualified Marsala resales from September 2023 to August 2026, median $3,187,500, range $2,550,000 to $4,950,000. Every one was a resale; no builder sold a new Marsala home in the window. Five water-lot sales carried a $3,200,000 median and five non-water sales $2,800,000, too few a side to price a lake view.

What Is for Sale Right Now

On September 18, 2026 the MLS showed two Marsala listings: one on a water lot on the entry-road lake at $3,675,000, 6 days on market, and one on a wooded golf-edge lot near the gate at $2,795,000, 142 days on market. Listings change weekly; your search is set up to catch the next one the day it appears.

Months of Supply and Days on Market

Two listings against five closings a year is about 4.8 months of supply, and about 7.2 months at the three-year county pace (our arithmetic). Tiburón carried 20 listings against 32 closings, about 7.5 months, with a median of 86 days on market for homes that sold (Southwest Florida MLS Matrix, September 18, 2026).

What the Record Says About Negotiation Room

The Matrix pull recorded no Marsala sale-to-list ratio, so we publish none. For Tiburón as a whole the twelve-month median closed at 93.84 percent of list. At Marsala, the 142-day listing is the market’s own evidence of how Marsala treats a price above its sales; a buyer negotiates with the ten recorded sales in hand.

What Do Marsala at Tiburón Homes Cost, Lot by Lot and Plan by Plan?

Marsala at Tiburón homes have cost $2,550,000 to $4,950,000 in the last three years of qualified county resales, and the lot, the plan, the storey count and the build year explain most of that spread. A standard third-of-an-acre WCI plan home and a custom home on a cul-de-sac lot are different purchases on the same street.

Data updated: September 2026 (Collier County Property Appraiser public roll, 2026 preliminary, and qualified recorded sales, files dated August 29, 2026; WCI Communities archived 2013 sales pages; Southwest Florida MLS Matrix, pulled September 18, 2026)

Water Lots and Golf-Edge Lots

WCI’s recorded Developer Guidelines classify Lots 4 to 41 as “water lots” and Lots 1 to 3 and 42 to 56 as non-water lots. Every one of the 56 lots backs onto one 109.76-acre golf parcel owned by Tiburon Golf Ventures, carrying nine holes of the Black Course.

Hole positions are approximate; frontage is not the same as view, and lake width, planting and orientation decide what a buyer sees from a specific lanai.

The Seven Big Lots

Seven lots measure 0.69 acre or more, all on the two cul-de-sacs: Lots 25 to 28 at the east end and Lots 39 to 41 at the southwest end. The median Marsala lot is 0.37 acre, about twice Serafina’s 0.18 and about 60 percent of Escada’s 0.62. If a buyer wants room at Marsala, it is on those seven lots.

WCI built about 29 of the 56 homes from 2011 to 2014 to these plans; the rest were custom-built by other builders or owners from 2007 to 2020. For most homes the plan is a claim until the original permit plans or the listing history back it.

Which Square Foot Figure Is Which

On single-storey Marsala homes the county’s base area matches the listing’s living area within about 2 percent; on two-storey homes it records roughly the ground floor, 71 to 79 percent of living area. The same $3,500,000 sale works out to $1,128 per foot of county base area and $700 of county adjusted area. We quote per-foot figures only on living area, labelled.

What the County Roll Assumes

The 2026 preliminary roll puts Marsala’s median just value at $2,166,654, down 8.6 percent from 2025, with 50 of 56 homes lower. Every Marsala sale of the last twelve months closed 36 to 56 percent above its home’s 2026 preliminary just value. A falling county value is a mass-appraisal figure set as of January 1; it is not a price and not a falling market.

How Prices Have Moved Since WCI

The 33 qualified new-home sales of 2011 to 2014 carried a $1,027,900 median. The median then ran $1,274,500 in 2015 to 2019, $1,762,500 in 2020 to 2022 and $3,187,500 in 2023 to 2026. Three of the last five sales were homes WCI sold new in 2012 and 2013, which closed at 3.0 to 3.3 times their first price.

What Are the Steps to Buy a Home in Marsala at Tiburón?

The steps to buy a home in Marsala at Tiburón are: identify the lot and the house, price the full cost stack, read the flood record, write the offer, receive the Chapter 720 disclosure summary, order both estoppels, arrange any club transfer 30 days ahead, inspect and insure, and close with the resale capital assessment paid.

Step 1: Identify the Lot and the House

The address gives the lot: Lots 1 to 26 carry even numbers from 14520 down to 14394, and Lots 27 to 56 odd numbers from 14395 up to 14521. The lot tells you whether it is a recorded water lot, its acreage and its flood panel. Then identify the plan, the storey count and the build year.

Step 2: Price the Full Cost Stack

Add the Marsala assessment and the master assessment from the estoppels, the county solid-waste charge, your property tax at the purchase price, and your insurance. There is no CDD line to add. Do it before you write, so the number you offer is the number you can carry.

Step 3: Read the Flood Record for That Lot

Find the home’s FIRM panel, whether one of the three 2013 FEMA letters names the lot, and whether the county holds an elevation certificate. Give all three to your insurance agent and lender in the first days, because six homes have mapped Zone AH and no letter.

Step 4: Write the Offer

Write to the comparable sales by lot type and plan, not the asking price, with an inspection period long enough for the insurance quotes, and a line that allocates the $3,000 resale capital assessment, because Section 7.13 charges it to the buyer unless the contract says otherwise.

Step 5: Receive the Chapter 720 Disclosure Summary

Section 720.401 requires the seller to deliver the homeowners association disclosure summary before you sign. If the contract is signed without it, you may void the contract by written notice within 3 days of receiving it or before closing, whichever comes first. For Marsala it should show no Pelican Marsh CDD assessment.

Step 6: Order Both Estoppels

A Marsala sale needs one estoppel certificate from the Marsala association and one from the Tiburon Estates master association. Each must be issued within 10 business days of a request, with a base fee capped by Section 720.30851, and must disclose every assessment, capital contribution, transfer fee and open violation.

Step 7: Arrange the Club Transfer, If You Want It

If the seller holds a Signature Membership and you want to take it over, the declaration says you apply to the club at least 30 days before closing. If the transfer is not arranged, the membership is deemed resigned at closing. Put the date in the contract calendar on day one.

Step 8: Inspect and Insure

Bring the roof permit date, the elevation certificate or FEMA letter, the air-conditioning permit history and any generator, window or shutter permits to your inspector and your insurance agent. Citizens cannot write a dwelling with a replacement cost of $700,000 or more in Collier County, so shop the private market early.

Step 9: Close and Set Up

Pay the $3,000 resale capital assessment and the master capital contribution at closing, then obtain gate credentials through the association, register your guests the way the association directs, and set up your irrigation zone for the even or odd watering days.

How Does the Tiburón Golf Club Membership Work When You Buy at Marsala?

The Tiburón Golf Club membership is optional when you buy at Marsala: the association says “Club memberships are not required for Marsala homeowners,” and the recorded declaration says the club facilities are privately owned and not common property. A seller’s Signature Membership can pass to you only by the club’s transfer procedure.

Data updated: September 2026 (recorded declaration OR 4094/1788, Article 17; association home page and FAQ, rev. January 2025; Tiburón Golf Club membership pages, read September 25, 2026)

Optional, in the Association’s Own Words

The association’s FAQ reads: “Membership in the Tiburon Golf Club is not a requirement of owning a home in Marsala, nor does your homeownership automatically provide you with a membership.” Section 17.1 of the declaration adds that no owner acquires any right in the club facilities as the result of owning a home.

The Signature Membership and the 30-Day Window

Section 17.3 obliged each first buyer from WCI or a builder to take a Signature Membership at closing. A resale buyer can take over the seller’s Signature Membership without a new membership fee if the seller is in good standing and resigns effective at closing, and the buyer applies at least 30 days before closing and is approved.

What the Club Offers

The club offers two resident categories, Medallion and Signature, and an Associate category for non-residents. Membership opens the two Greg Norman 18-hole courses, the clubhouse, Sydney’s Pub, the members-only fitness club, four Har-Tru tennis courts, and beach services and The Reservoir at the resort. The club publishes privileges, not prices, so no dues figure appears here.

What Will You Pay Each Year to Own at Marsala at Tiburón?

A Marsala at Tiburón owner pays two recurring association layers, the Marsala assessment and the Tiburon Estates master assessment, plus the county’s $261.91 solid-waste charge, property tax and insurance, and no Pelican Marsh CDD line. The association publishes its budget; the per-home figure for a specific address is on its estoppel certificate.

Data updated: September 2026 (Marsala association 2025 compiled financial statements and 2024 reserve study; recorded declaration and by-laws; Collier County Tax Collector 2025 bills; Collier County Property Appraiser public roll, 2025 certified and 2026 preliminary)

Layer 1: The Marsala Assessment

Every home pays an equal share, billed quarterly on the first day of January, April, July and October. The association’s 2025 compiled financial statements put the 2025 operating budget for member dues at $124,068, and its engineer’s reserve study planned a 2025 reserve contribution of about $37,600. The by-laws bar a rise of more than 20 percent a year without the Board’s unanimous approval.

Layer 2: The Tiburon Estates Master Assessment

Every Marsala owner is a member of Tiburon Estates Homeowner’s Association, Inc., under Tiburón’s 1999 master declaration. It bills quarterly, separately, and its dues include bulk basic cable. The master association does not publish its assessment; the figure is on the master estoppel certificate.

Layer 3: The Line That Is Not There

Every other Tiburón neighborhood pays the Pelican Marsh CDD on its tax bill. Marsala’s recorded declaration says the District’s boundary “DOES NOT INCLUDE THE NEIGHBORHOOD,” and every Marsala home carried only the county’s garbage charge as a non-ad valorem line on each certified roll from 2021 to 2025.

What That Saves Against the Rest of Tiburón

On the 2025 certified roll the most common non-ad valorem total was $4,560.91 at Escada, $2,823.85 at Serafina and $2,752.71 at Norman Estates, against $261.91 on every Marsala home. That is roughly $2,500 to $4,300 a year less (our arithmetic), a recorded, recurring difference that belongs in any comparison.

Which Documents Should You Read First When You Buy at Marsala?

Read the Chapter 720 disclosure summary and both estoppel certificates first, then the association’s budget and reserve study, then the recorded declaration and its amendments, then the lot’s FEMA letter and elevation certificate. Marsala’s association publishes more of its own records than any other Tiburón association, so much of this is available before you write.

The Declaration and Fifteen Amendments

The Declaration of Neighborhood Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for Marsala at Tiburon was recorded on August 24, 2006 at OR 4094, Page 1788, 51 pages with the by-laws. Four WCI amendments from 2011 to 2014 and eleven owner-era instruments from 2015 to 2022 amend it. When a posted copy and the Clerk’s record differ, the recorded text governs.

The Budget, the Statements and the Reserve Study

The association posts compiled financial statements for 2022 to 2025 and a 2024 engineer’s reserve study covering 18 components, from the paver entry and asphalt to the gate operators, mailboxes, street lights and irrigation permit. The replacement fund held about $186,000 at December 31, 2025.

The Questions to Ask Before You Go Firm

  • What is the current quarterly assessment, and what does the adopted budget for this year show?
  • Is any special assessment levied or proposed on either estoppel?
  • Does this home carry a transferable Signature Membership, and has the seller resigned it effective at closing?
  • Which FEMA letter names this lot, and was it revalidated if the lot is on a 2024 panel?
  • Are there open permits, open violations or pending architectural applications on this home?

The Disclosure Fork

Section 720.401 applies to Marsala because its association is a Chapter 720 homeowners association, not a condominium association under Chapter 718. Florida’s condominium resale disclosures, milestone inspections and structural integrity reserve studies do not apply to a Marsala home. Your closing agent or attorney confirms which disclosures apply to your contract. This is information, not legal advice.

No Buyer Approval, and No Right of First Refusal

The declaration contains no transfer-approval article and no right of first refusal, and the association’s FAQ says it has no application process for new owners. What a Marsala sale does need is the two estoppels, the resale capital assessment at closing and, if you want it, the club transfer application.

How Do You Check Flood Zone and Insurance for a Marsala Home?

You check flood zone for a Marsala home lot by lot: 42 homes sit on FIRM panel 12021C0401H, effective May 16, 2012, and 14 on panels 12021C0194J and 12021C0382J, effective February 8, 2024. There 49 of 56 address points read Zone AH, and three 2013 FEMA letters cover 47 lots.

Data updated: September 2026 (FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, panels 12021C0401H, 12021C0194J and 12021C0382J, read September 24, 2026; FEMA Letters of Map Amendment 13-04-3370A, 13-04-5566A and 13-04-6908A; Collier County elevation certificates, read September 25, 2026)

Zone AH, and What It Means Here

Zone AH is FEMA’s shallow-flooding zone, the ponding kind. All three Marsala letters name the source as “PONDING/OVERLAND FLOW,” not the Gulf and not a river. The 2012 map drew the ponding area over ground later filled and graded for homes, which is what the letters and the surveyed floors show.

Every high-risk polygon that touches a Marsala home is Zone AH; no Zone AE, VE or floodway touches any Marsala footprint. Four house footprints, on Lots 1, 6, 7 and 8, have no mapped high-risk zone under them.

The Six Homes With Mapped AH and No Letter

Lots 2, 3, 17, 20, 23 and 36, at 14516, 14512, 14430, 14418, 14406 and 14435 Marsala Way, have mapped Zone AH under the footprint and no FEMA letter. A buyer financing one with a federally backed or regulated mortgage should expect the lender to require a flood policy. Lots 17 and 36 hold certificates showing floors of 15.0 and 15.3 feet against a 10.5-foot base flood elevation.

The Twelve Lettered Lots on the 2024 Panels

Lots 1, 4 and 47 to 56 hold 2013 letters issued against the 2012 map, but now sit on panels FEMA revised in 2024. We did not locate FEMA’s revalidation letter for Collier’s February 8, 2024 map, so for those twelve homes the letter’s status is unknown, not assumed. Ask the lender’s flood determination company to confirm it before relying on it.

Surveyed Floors Against the Base Flood Elevation

Collier County holds 23 elevation certificates for Marsala homes. Their surveyed floors run 14.91 to 17.7 feet NAVD88 against base flood elevations of 10.0 to 10.5 feet: 4.4 to 7.7 feet of freeboard. For any home without a certificate online, ask the seller for one before you accept a flood quote.

FEMA’s Preliminary Map

On FEMA’s preliminary maps issued March 20, 2025, all 56 Marsala address points are Zone X. The map is not in effect: Collier County opened a 90-day appeal period on August 19, 2026, with a target date of summer 2027, subject to change. Preliminary maps cannot be used to rate insurance, so the current panels govern.

The Community Rating System Discount

Collier County holds a Class 5 rating in FEMA’s Community Rating System, worth a 25 percent discount on eligible NFIP premiums. FEMA applies it to NFIP policies in the Regular Program in a participating community, including policies outside the Special Flood Hazard Area.

How Do You Insure a Marsala Home?

You insure a Marsala home in the private or surplus-lines market, because Citizens Property Insurance cannot write a Collier County dwelling with a replacement cost of $700,000 or more. You carry the house and your liability yourself under by-laws Section 8.3, and the association insures only what it owns: the street, gate, entry and small tracts.

Data updated: September 2026 (Florida Statutes 627.351, 627.701, 627.0629 and 215.5586; FEMA NFIP coverage guide; Collier County monthly permit reports, January 2024 to July 2026)

Citizens Is Out of Reach

Section 627.351 makes a residential structure with a dwelling replacement cost of $700,000 or more ineligible for Citizens in Collier County; the Senate’s February 2026 analysis confirms the higher cap applies only in Miami-Dade and Monroe. WCI’s plans ran 3,407 to 4,412 air-conditioned square feet with three-car garages, so replacement cost will almost always exceed the cap.

The Hurricane Deductible

Section 627.701 requires insurers to offer hurricane deductibles of $500, 2, 5 and 10 percent of the dwelling limit, but a policy of $250,000 or more need not offer $500, and one of $3 million or more may omit 2 percent. On a $1.5 million to $3 million dwelling limit, a 2 percent deductible is $30,000 to $60,000 (our arithmetic).

Flood Cover Above the NFIP Caps

The National Flood Insurance Program caps a residential building at $250,000 and contents at $100,000. A Marsala home’s replacement cost is several times that, so an owner who wants full flood cover buys an NFIP policy plus excess flood, or a private flood policy written to the dwelling limit. Being lettered out usually makes flood cover cheaper, not unnecessary.

Roofs and Wind Mitigation

The declaration allows only concrete or clay barrel tile at a minimum 6:12 pitch. No roof or reroof permit was pulled at any Marsala address from January 2024 to July 2026, so most roofs are the original 2011 to 2015 tile roofs. Wind-mitigation credits under Section 627.0629 are rated home by home on the state’s inspection form.

How Much Will Property Taxes Be After You Buy at Marsala?

Property taxes after you buy at Marsala start from the Collier County assessment at your purchase, not the seller’s bill. The 2025 certified median total bill was $14,862.45, the 2026 preliminary median ad valorem tax is $17,699.90 at 9.4020 mills, and a home that sold in December 2025 about doubled its preliminary tax.

Data updated: September 2026 (Collier County Property Appraiser public roll, 2021 to 2025 certified and 2026 preliminary; Collier County Tax Collector 2025 bills)

Why Your Bill Will Not Look Like the Seller’s

Florida’s Save Our Homes cap holds down the taxable value of a long-held homestead, and 42 of Marsala’s 56 homes carry a homestead exemption. When you buy, the assessment resets. 14500 Marsala Way, sold in December 2025, went from a $9,757.22 bill for 2025 to a $19,640.57 preliminary ad valorem tax for 2026.

The Range Across the Neighborhood

The 2025 certified bills among taxed Marsala homes ran $8,270.15 to $35,699.16. Two homesteaded homes bought new in 2012 and 2013 paid under $10,000 for 2025, while a non-homesteaded home of similar value paid $20,744.28. Preliminary figures change when the roll is certified.

Budget From the Purchase Price

Every Marsala parcel sits in millage area 47, at a 2026 preliminary rate of 9.4020 mills, the same rate as the rest of Tiburón. At the $3,500,000 twelve-month median the full rate comes to about $32,900 a year before any exemption, and at the $3,187,500 three-year median about $29,970 (our arithmetic), plus the $261.91 solid-waste charge. Treat those as ceilings.

Homestead, If You Will Live Here

If Marsala becomes your permanent Florida residence, apply for the homestead exemption with the Collier County Property Appraiser by the statutory deadline. Three-quarters of Marsala owners have, the highest share of any Tiburón neighborhood, and 49 of 56 owners receive their bill at a Florida address.

Which Marsala Rules Decide Whether a Home Works for You?

The Marsala rules that decide fit are set by the recorded 2006 declaration, its amendments and the Board’s 2018 rules: leases of at least 30 days and no more than three in any 12 months with Board approval, no limit on pets, no overnight street parking, no signs or open houses, and architectural approval for every exterior change.

Leasing

A lease must cover the whole home for at least 30 consecutive days, no more than three leases in any 12 months, with written notice at least 20 days before occupancy and Board approval, which is due within 15 days; silence is deemed approval. The 2026 lease application carries a $100 transfer and administration fee. Subleasing is barred. Marsala allows a winter rental; it does not allow a weekly one.

Pets

The declaration contains no pet clause, and the association’s FAQ says “The Declaration does not restrict the size, type or number of pets.” Rule 2 requires pets on the street and other common property to be leashed or carried, with waste picked up. The golf land behind the lots is not common property.

Vehicles and Parking

Every home needs an attached garage for at least two cars, with doors closed except when entering or leaving. No more than three vehicles may park overnight in a driveway, and there is no overnight parking on the street. Boats, trailers, motor homes and commercial vehicles may be kept only fully enclosed.

Signs, Showings and Open Houses

Section 4.14 bars signs of any type without written consent, and Section 4.15 bars open houses, sales events and auctions and requires every viewing to be by appointment, “accompanied at all times by a licensed sales person.” As a buyer, you will not find a Marsala home by driving past a sign; you find it through the MLS and your agent.

Architectural Review

No site work, construction, exterior alteration, landscaping change or color change without prior written approval under Section XII. A design committee reviews and recommends and the Board decides. WCI’s 2006 Developer Guidelines, still attached to the application, set a 2,800 square foot minimum, a 35-foot height limit and tile roofs.

Setbacks: Water Lots and Non-Water Lots

Water lots (Lots 4 to 41)

20 feet

Rear, pool, deck or enclosure

20 feet

10 feet

A water-lot owner planning a larger pool deck or a rear addition has less room than the lot size suggests.

Shutters, Generators and Equipment

The guidelines strongly encourage impact glass, allow permanent roll-up or accordion shutters only if concealed or approved, and allow temporary shutters only after a Hurricane Watch, down within three days after the Warning is lifted. A standby generator or fuel tank needs approval, and new equipment inside an association drainage easement needs a written encroachment agreement.

Occupancy, Ages and Business Use

Marsala is not age-restricted: the declaration and its amendments contain no 55-and-over restriction, and every address is zoned to public schools. Use is residential only, with no business buildings, business activity or professional office. Time-share and fractional use are barred.

What Does Renovating a Marsala Home Involve?

Renovating a Marsala home involves the association’s architectural approval and, on a large project, Collier County’s 50 percent substantial-improvement review, because most Marsala home sites are mapped in Zone AH. From January 2024 to July 2026 the county listed 71 permits at 30 Marsala homes, including four large remodels.

Data updated: September 2026 (Collier County monthly building permit reports, January 2024 to July 2026; Collier County 2026 Flood Protection Newsletter)

The 50 Percent Rule Is Live at Marsala

Collier County applies the substantial-improvement rule within flood zones VE, AE, AH and A: an improvement or repair costing 50 percent or more of a structure’s market value can require it to meet current flood standards. The two 2013 structure letters say substantial improvement remains subject to local floodplain regulation. The county’s floodplain staff decide, at permit review.

The Remodel on a Home With No Letter

One of the four large remodels, a $300,000 alteration permitted in May 2026 at 14512 Marsala Way, is on a home mapped wholly in Zone AH with no FEMA letter, the clearest Marsala case where the county’s substantial-improvement review is likely to be engaged. A buyer of any of the six no-letter homes should budget that review into a renovation.

What to Ask For Before You Buy to Renovate

  • The current architectural application, design guidelines and fee and deposit schedule.
  • The committee’s meeting schedule and typical review time.
  • The lot’s survey, with its water or non-water setbacks and easements.
  • The home’s permit history and any open permits.
  • The elevation certificate and the FEMA letter by case number.

Marsala at Tiburón or Escada at Tiburón: Which Fits You?

Marsala at Tiburón or Escada at Tiburón is the real choice for a buyer who wants a detached Tiburón home. Marsala gives newer homes, no District line on the tax bill, seasonal leasing, no buyer approval and its own gate; Escada gives larger land, custom construction at the county’s top grade and a Zone X flood map.

Who Should Choose Marsala, and Who Should Choose Escada?

Choose Marsala if you want a newer home on a lot that backs onto the Black Course, a gate of your own, no District line on the tax bill, an association that publishes its budget, the freedom to lease for 30 days or more and no buyer approval, at well under half Escada’s county value. Choose Escada at Tiburón if the land is the point: half an acre or more, custom construction and Zone X on every home, and accept the price, the higher tax bill and District line, a thin resale market and board approval.

If a Smaller Lot in the Core Suits You

Serafina at Tiburón is the detached neighborhood closest to Marsala in recorded price and furthest from it in land: 44 homes built 2002 to 2008 on 0.18-acre median lots, four qualified sales in 36 months at a $3,062,500 median, and a District line of $2,823.85 on 42 of its homes in 2025. It trades Marsala’s larger lot for a place in the Tiburón core.

How Do We Find You the Right Marsala at Tiburón Home?

We find you the right Marsala at Tiburón home by matching your budget to a lot type, a plan and a build year, watching a street of about five sales a year so you hear of a listing the day it appears, and having the flood record, cost stack and documents ready before you write.

Matching Your Budget to a Lot, Not a Price Band

Your budget buys a lot type and a house. We show you what water lots and golf-edge lots, WCI plan homes and custom homes, have actually sold for, so you know whether your number buys a cul-de-sac lot or a standard lot on the entry road, and what the difference means in insurance and tax.

Watching All Four Detached Neighborhoods

The right home may list once a season. We keep your criteria on file and alert you when a Marsala home comes to market, and when a home in Escada, Serafina or Norman Estates does, because most detached Tiburón buyers weigh more than one.

Touring: Gate, Lot, Roof and Lanai

Every showing is by appointment, with a licensed agent present, through Marsala’s gate. On tour, look at the lanai outlook at the time of day you will use it, the lake or fairway behind the lot, the roof’s age, the air conditioner’s age, the pool equipment and the screen enclosure, and ask which FEMA letter names the lot.

Set Up Custom Listing Alerts for Marsala at Tiburón

Ask Marc at (239) 287-5873 to set up a saved search for Marsala and Tiburón’s other detached neighborhoods, or read how we represent buyers in Southwest Florida and use the buyer form on this page. Alerts route to us directly, so a new listing reaches both you and us the same day.

How Do We Negotiate for You at Marsala at Tiburón?

We negotiate for you at Marsala at partner level, with the comparable sales by lot type and plan in hand, the roof and equipment priced from the inspection, the flood letter used to set your insurance cost, and the resale capital assessment and club transfer written into the contract, not left to closing.

Price From the Comparable Sales

A list price above the comparable sales has to show why, with lot, plan, renovation or roof. If it cannot, we write to the sales. The lower of the two September 18 listings had been on the market 142 days, the market’s own evidence of how Marsala treats a price above its sales.

Who Pays the $3,000

Section 7.13 charges the resale capital assessment to the buyer “unless the transferor and transferee otherwise expressly agree.” That makes it a contract term, and a buyer can ask the seller to pay it. We raise it in the offer, not at the closing table.

Using the Flood Record

On any of the six homes with mapped AH and no letter, and on the twelve lettered lots on 2024 panels, we get the flood quote and the lender’s determination inside the inspection period, and we price any mandatory flood premium into the offer.

What Are the Closing Costs When You Buy at Marsala at Tiburón?

Closing costs when you buy at Marsala include the $3,000 resale capital assessment, owed by the buyer unless the contract says otherwise, the Tiburon Estates master capital contribution of one quarter of its annual assessment, and, by Collier County custom, the owner’s title policy and settlement fee, plus your lender’s charges, prepaid insurance and prorations.

Title Insurance and the Collier Custom

In Collier County the buyer customarily chooses the closing agent and pays the owner’s title policy, the reverse of the Lee County custom. Florida sets the title premium by rule, so the rate is the same whichever title company is used. The contract controls the allocation.

Financing a Marsala Home

A Marsala home is a detached house, so a lender underwrites the house, the lot and your flood determination rather than a condominium project. A new mortgage carries Florida’s nonrecurring intangible tax of 2 mills on the amount secured. Ask your lender early how it treats a 2013 FEMA letter on a lot now on a 2024 panel.

Insurance and Prepaid Items

Budget for your first year of homeowner’s insurance and any flood premium at closing, and for prorated Marsala and master assessments and property tax from the closing date. The estoppels state what is due.

What the Seller Pays

By custom the seller pays the documentary stamp tax on the deed at $0.70 per $100, $24,500 at the $3,500,000 median, and any unpaid assessments on the estoppels. Those appear on the seller’s side of the closing statement.

How Does Buyer’s Agent Compensation Work at Marsala at Tiburón in 2026?

Buyer’s agent compensation at Marsala at Tiburón in 2026 follows the NAR settlement rules in force since August 17, 2024: you sign a written agreement with your agent before touring, offers of compensation cannot be advertised in the MLS, and every commission is negotiable and not set by law.

The Written Buyer Agreement

Before we tour a Marsala home with you, we sign a written buyer agreement that states what we will do and how we are paid. It is short, and we walk through it line by line.

Who Pays

A seller may offer to contribute toward your agent’s compensation, you may ask for it in your offer, or you may pay it yourself. We tell you plainly which approach fits the home and the seller before you write.

What You Get for It

The comparable sales by lot and plan, the full cost stack with no District line, the flood panel and letter for the lot, both estoppels read, the club transfer timed, the inspection priced against the permit record, the insurance quoted before you go firm, and a closing that lands on time.

What Is Life Like Around Marsala at Tiburón?

Life around Marsala at Tiburón runs through its own gate on Livingston Road, a private street of 56 pool homes wrapped by nine holes of the Black Course, Publix and North Collier Regional Park about a mile and a half away, and I-75 about 2.5 miles. The zoned schools are Pelican Marsh Elementary, North Naples Middle and Aubrey Rogers High.

Data updated: September 2026 (Collier County Public Schools zoning tool, 2026-27, checked September 24, 2026; OSRM routing from Marsala’s gate, September 25, 2026; association FAQ, rev. January 2025)

The Gate and the Street

Marsala Way’s only connection to the public road network is Livingston Road, and the gate there belongs to the Marsala association. Residents enter with credentials issued through the association, and visitors are admitted by the resident or on a pass the resident issues. Marsala Way is association property with a 20 mph limit and no overnight street parking.

Tiburón’s Other Gates

Tiburón’s other gates are run by the Pelican Marsh CDD, and its transponder policy ties eligibility to property subject to District assessments or to club membership. Marsala pays none. A buyer who wants credentials for those gates should get eligibility in writing before closing.

Why Does a Marsala at Tiburón Specialist Matter When You Buy?

A Marsala specialist matters when you buy because the price turns on lot type, plan and storey count rather than size alone, the county square footage misreads two-storey homes, the flood record changes lot by lot across three panels, and the resale capital assessment and club transfer window live in recorded clauses a general agent rarely opens.

What a General Naples Agent Tends to Miss at Marsala

A general agent may price a Marsala home off a North Naples average, divide a sale by the county base area of a two-storey Estrella, budget a CDD line Marsala does not pay, leave the $3,000 assessment out of the contract, miss the 30-day club window, or let a 2013 FEMA letter on a 2024 panel surface in underwriting. Each one costs a buyer money or a closing date.

Frequently Asked Questions, Buyer Edition: Buying a Marsala at Tiburón Home

These are the questions buyers ask most about Marsala at Tiburón, answered from the recorded declaration and its amendments, the association’s published documents, the Collier County records, FEMA’s maps and letters and the Southwest Florida MLS, each with its window and source.

What is Marsala at Tiburón?

A gated neighborhood of 56 detached single-family homes on one private street, Marsala Way, Naples FL 34109, inside Tiburón, governed by a Chapter 720 homeowners association and built from 2007 to 2020.

Where is Marsala, and why is it different from the rest of Tiburón?

It is the only Tiburón neighborhood east of Livingston Road, in Section 31, Township 48 South, Range 26 East. That is why it has its own gate, sits outside the Pelican Marsh CDD and is zoned to North Naples Middle.

How much does a Marsala home cost?

The last twelve months of MLS sales ran $2,800,000 to $4,000,000 at a $3,500,000 median. Ten qualified county resales over 36 months carried a $3,187,500 median.

Which Marsala homes are for sale right now?

Two were listed on September 18, 2026, at $2,795,000 and $3,675,000. Ask Marc at (239) 287-5873 for the current list and alerts.

What is the most a Marsala home has sold for?

$4,950,000 for 14451 Marsala Way, a 2018 custom home on a 0.77-acre cul-de-sac water lot, recorded May 13, 2025.

Are Marsala prices going up or down?

Recorded prices rose from a $1,762,500 median in 2020 to 2022 to $3,187,500 in 2023 to 2026, and the last twelve months ran higher. County values fell 8.6 percent on the 2026 preliminary roll, which is an appraisal figure, not a price.

How big are Marsala homes?

WCI’s four plans ran 3,407 to 4,412 air-conditioned square feet, each with a three-car garage. The county’s base area runs 3,099 to 4,651 square feet, but on two-storey homes it records little more than the ground floor.

Which lots are on the water?

Lots 4 to 41, 38 in all, are recorded water lots. Lots 1 to 3 and 42 to 56 back onto golf land or a fairway without a lake.

Is Marsala gated?

Yes. It has its own gated entrance on Livingston Road, owned by the association, not behind Tiburón’s staffed gatehouse.

What are the HOA fees at Marsala?

The association’s 2025 operating budget was $124,068, with planned reserve funding of about $37,600, shared equally by 56 homes and billed quarterly. The Marsala estoppel states the current figure for a specific home, and the master association bills separately.

Does Marsala pay the Pelican Marsh CDD?

No. The recorded declaration places Marsala outside the District, and every Marsala home carried only the county’s $261.91 solid-waste charge on the 2025 bill.

What is the $3,000 resale capital assessment?

A one-time charge under Section 7.13 of the declaration, levied on the buyer at closing unless the buyer and seller expressly agree otherwise.

Is there also a master association charge at purchase?

Yes. A 2022 master amendment adds a capital contribution of one quarter of the master annual assessment, charged to each new member.

Does the association have to approve my purchase?

No. The declaration has no transfer-approval article, and the association’s FAQ says there is no application process for new owners.

Do I have to join Tiburón Golf Club?

No. The association says “Club memberships are not required for Marsala homeowners.”

Can I take over the seller’s club membership?

If the seller holds a Signature Membership in good standing and resigns it effective at closing, you can apply to take it over without a new membership fee, at least 30 days before closing, subject to the club’s approval.

Is Marsala part of The Ritz-Carlton?

No. The resort is open to a Marsala owner as a club member or a paying guest; owning a home conveys no resort right.

What flood zone is Marsala in?

On the effective maps 49 of 56 address points read Zone AH, FEMA’s shallow-ponding zone, on panels dated 2012 and 2024. Three 2013 FEMA letters cover 47 lots.

Do I need flood insurance on a Marsala home?

On Lots 2, 3, 17, 20, 23 and 36, expect a federally backed lender to require it. On the 47 lettered lots the federal requirement does not apply where the letter governs, though the lender may still require it.

How high are Marsala homes above the flood level?

The 23 county-held elevation certificates show floors of 14.91 to 17.7 feet NAVD88, 4.4 to 7.7 feet above the 10.0 to 10.5 foot base flood elevation.

Can a Marsala home get Citizens insurance?

Almost never. Citizens cannot write a Collier County dwelling with a replacement cost of $700,000 or more.

Is Marsala in an evacuation zone?

Marsala is in Hurricane Evacuation Zone D, outside the Coastal High Hazard Area, about 4.7 miles from the Gulf.

What will my property taxes be?

Budget from your purchase price at the 9.4020-mill 2026 preliminary rate, plus the $261.91 solid-waste charge. The 2025 median bill was $14,862.45, but a buyer’s assessment resets.

Can I rent out a Marsala home?

Yes, for at least 30 consecutive days, no more than three leases in any 12 months, with Board approval and a $100 application fee. Weekly rentals are not allowed.

Are pets allowed at Marsala?

Yes. The declaration does not restrict the size, type or number of pets; pets on common property must be leashed or carried.

Is Marsala a 55+ community?

No. The documents contain no age restriction, and every address is zoned to public schools.

Which schools serve Marsala?

Pelican Marsh Elementary, North Naples Middle and Aubrey Rogers High for 2026-27, each graded A for 2025-26.

Do Florida’s condo milestone and reserve-study laws apply?

No. Marsala’s homes are detached houses under a Chapter 720 association, and those laws reach condominium and cooperative buildings.

Can I renovate or rebuild a Marsala home?

Yes, with the association’s written architectural approval and county permits. A project costing 50 percent or more of the structure’s value can trigger the county’s flood compliance review.

Who pays title insurance when I buy in Collier County?

By Collier County custom the buyer usually chooses the closing agent and pays the owner’s title policy, the reverse of the Lee County custom. The contract controls.

Do I have to sign a buyer agreement before touring?

Yes. Since August 17, 2024, a written agreement with your agent is required before touring, and every commission is negotiable.

How does Marsala compare with Escada?

Marsala closed five sales at a $3,500,000 twelve-month median, has newer homes, no District line and seasonal leasing; Escada had no closing in the window, sits on larger lots with custom homes, reads Zone X and requires board approval.

What should I do first if I want to buy at Marsala?

Decide your lot type and budget, price the full cost stack, and call Marc Comisar at (239) 287-5873 for the current listings, the comparable sales and alerts for Marsala and Tiburón’s other detached neighborhoods.
