Key takeaways for Kensington Gardens: it is a single-family estate neighborhood of 83 platted lots inside gated Kensington Golf and Country Club on Pine Ridge Road in Naples, ZIP 34105, with its own association layer under the mandatory master association, an optional club, no CDD, and every home outside FEMA’s 100-year flood zone.
This table of contents lists every section of our Kensington Gardens guide, from the market snapshot and the recorded documents to fees, flood zones, schools, the comparison with Canterbury Green and both FAQ editions, so a buyer or a seller in Kensington Gardens can jump straight to the answer they need.
Living in Kensington Gardens means a single-family estate neighborhood of 83 platted lots inside the gates of Kensington Golf and Country Club, on Gardens Boulevard (57 homes and the vacant lot), Hendon Court (7), Castalain Court (6), Gainesborough Court (6) and Saint Barnabas Court (6), with a staffed front gate on Pine Ridge Road, a back gate on Livingston Road, Hotwire fiber in the master dues and an optional club.
Kensington Gardens sits inside Kensington Golf and Country Club, the gated community on the south side of Pine Ridge Road between Airport-Pulling Road and Livingston Road in ZIP 34105 (KPMA, About Us). Its homes are on Gardens Boulevard (57 homes and the vacant lot), Hendon Court (7), Castalain Court (6), Gainesborough Court (6) and Saint Barnabas Court (6), according to Collier County’s address layer pulled October 17, 2026 (Collier GIS address points). The land under the whole community is recorded as Kensington Park, PUD-91-11 under Ordinance 98-8 (Ordinance 98-8, Collier Clerk).
Buyers who choose Kensington Gardens usually want a large single-family home on a lake or the golf course inside a gated, optional-club community, with an association that keeps the private roads, entry features and bulkheads. Sellers here are selling the top price band in Kensington, so the comparable sales are few and specific.
A day in Kensington Gardens starts behind two layers of entry: the staffed Kensington front gate on Pine Ridge Road and the neighborhood’s own entry features on Eatonwood Lane and Gardens Boulevard. Lawns run to the lakes and fairways, golf carts stay out of sight in garages, and the club, if you join, is a short cart ride away. Groceries are close: Publix at Pine Ridge Crossing is about 2.5 minutes from the front gate and Sprouts on Airport Road about 2.2 minutes, free-flow (Publix, Pine Ridge Crossing; Sprouts press release).
The 12-unit Kensington Gardens, A Condominium at 350 Fourth Avenue South, Naples 34102 (DBPR PR1S025679, recorded June 11, 2002, managed by Anchor Associates) is a different property in Olde Naples. Its declaration (O.R. 2969, Page 2883, January 25, 2002) describes land in Block 16, Tier 5 of the Plan of Naples, allows one cat or one dog up to 25 pounds and assigns one parking space per unit; none of that applies to the Kensington Gardens homes inside Kensington Park. (document on file for the Olde Naples condominium) This page covers only the Kensington Gardens inside Kensington Park, ZIP 34105.

The MLS window held for this page is the 12 months to August 11, 2026. In a small neighborhood, a wider window gives a steadier read of value, and the county’s recorded sales give another check; ask Jesse for both before you price.
Kensington Gardens came to be inside Kensington Park, the 370-acre PUD approved in 1992 and amended by Ordinance 98-8, whose master declaration was recorded on May 12, 1993. Its own association, plat or condominium declaration and build years are traced below from the Florida registers and the recorded documents.
Kensington Gardens is the estate neighborhood of Kensington Park. Its Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions is dated February 17, 1998 and recorded at Official Records Book 2392, beginning at Page 755, and it covers the 83 lots on the plat of Kensington Gardens, Plat Book 29, Pages 36 to 39 (Kensington Gardens declaration, Clerk-stamped copy). The homeowners’ association was incorporated on February 3, 1998 (Sunbiz, Kensington Gardens Homeowners Association).
The county roll dates the homes from 1998 to 2012, with a median year of 2001; three carry a year built of 2005 or later, and one lot was still vacant on the 2026 roll (Florida DOR 2026 roll). That makes Kensington Gardens the newest single-family product, with the largest homes on the roll (up to 12,092 square feet), in a community whose oldest homes date to 1993.
Kensington Park was approved as PUD-91-11 under Ordinance 92-25 in 1992 and amended by Ordinance 98-8 in 1998; the county lists it as built out (Ordinance 98-8, Collier Clerk; Collier PUD Master List, June 11, 2026). Its master declaration was recorded at O.R. Book 1825, Page 186, restated in 2004 and again in 2016 (Second Amended and Restated Master Declaration).
The homes in Kensington Gardens are 82 homes and one vacant lot on 83 platted lots, built 1998 to 2012, median year 2001, with 2,741 to 12,092 square feet of county living area, median about 4,139 and a median lot about 15,243 square feet. The record behind each figure follows, drawn from the county roll, the county address layer and the recorded documents.
Gardens Boulevard carries 57 of the 82 homes and the one vacant lot; Hendon Court has 7, and Castalain, Gainesborough and Saint Barnabas courts have 6 each, according to Collier County’s address layer pulled October 17, 2026 (Collier GIS address points). The median lot is about 15,243 square feet on the 2026 roll.
County living area runs 2,741 to 12,092 square feet, with a median of about 4,139 (Florida DOR 2026 roll). The recorded minimums are 3,000 square feet of air-conditioned space on Block H lots 1 to 34, 2,800 on Block I lots 1 to 11 and 35 to 49, and 2,500 on Block I lots 12 to 34 (Declaration s.9.02).
The Architectural Control Manual sets a 25-foot front setback, 7.5-foot sides (15 feet combined) and a 20-foot rear, with pool enclosures 10 feet from a lake and 5 feet from the golf course (ACM). Bulkheads line Block H lots 1, 2, 7 to 10 and 13 to 18 and Block I lots 42 to 49 (Declaration s.7.03).
Kensington Gardens is the only Kensington neighborhood exempt from the standard master-association mailbox; it uses a cast-aluminum townsquare box with a paper holder (ACM). Fences, walls and hedges that block a lake or golf view are prohibited (s.9.09).
Collier County’s address layer, filtered to the Kensington Gardens plat or condominium records on October 17, 2026, returned the homes and units on Gardens Boulevard (57 homes and the vacant lot), Hendon Court (7), Castalain Court (6), Gainesborough Court (6) and Saint Barnabas Court (6); the full roster is kept in our research file so any listing can be matched to its recorded parcel (Collier GIS address points).
A Kensington Gardens home comes with three layers of amenities: what Kensington Gardens itself owns or maintains, what the mandatory Kensington Park Master Association provides to every home, and what only optional club membership adds, from the Robert Trent Jones Jr. course to the rebuilt clubhouse.
Every Kensington Gardens owner gets the staffed front gate at 2700 Pine Ridge Road around the clock, the back gate at 2774 Eatonwood Lane with barcode access from 7 am to 11 pm, roving patrol, KPMA-maintained roads, lakes and common landscaping, and Hotwire fiber TV and internet bundled in the master dues (Access and Patrol Manual; Kensington Park Hotwire information; KPMA Welcome Packet, July 2026).
The club adds the Robert Trent Jones Jr. 18-hole, par-71 course, opened January 1994 and restored in 2021 for nearly $7.2 million with no incremental assessment, the 38,000-square-foot clubhouse rebuilt from 2024 to 2026, seven Har-Tru tennis courts, six pickleball courts, two bocce courts, the saltwater pool and the fitness center (club, golf course; First Call Golf, Nov 17, 2021; Florida Weekly, Jan 21, 2026; club, Court Sports; club, Fitness). Owning a Kensington Gardens home confers no club right (master declaration s.10.2).

HOA fees in Kensington Gardens in 2026 start with the master assessment of $1,284 a quarter, $5,136 a year, the same for every Kensington home, plus Kensington Gardens’s own neighborhood dues, which the association does not publish; the estoppel certificate states the real figure at a sale.
Layer | 2026 amount | Who bills it | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
Master assessment | $1,284 a quarter ($5,136 a year) | Kensington Park Master Association | |
Resale Capital Assessment | $2,568 once, at closing, buyer pays unless the contract says otherwise | Kensington Park Master Association | |
Kensington Gardens Homeowners Association, Inc. dues | Not published | Kensington Gardens Homeowners Association, Inc. | |
CDD | None | n/a | |
Property tax | 9.5058 mills (2025, code 0104) | Collier County Tax Collector | |
Club | Optional; Preview Sport $1,121.37 a month, Preview Social $710.74 a month (2026) | Kensington Golf and Country Club |
Kensington Gardens Homeowners Association, Inc. does not publish its budget online, and we print no figure from anyone else. Owners can inspect the association’s official records, including the budget, under section 720.303 of the Florida Statutes (s. 720.303), and a seller’s estoppel certificate states every amount owed at closing (s. 720.30851). KPMA says budgets may be obtained by contacting Newell Property Management (KPMA, Forms and Docs).
At closing the buyer pays KPMA the $2,568 Resale Capital Assessment plus the quarter’s $1,284, $3,852 in all, before the Kensington Gardens association’s own dues. Over a year KPMA dues are $1,284 x 4 = $5,136. On an illustrative $1,000,000 taxable value (an illustration, not a Kensington Gardens figure), 2025 county millage of 9.5058 adds $9,505.80, for $14,641.80 a year before Kensington Gardens’s own dues, insurance and any club costs. A Preview Sport member adds $1,121.37 x 12 = $13,456.44 a year in dues (club, Preview Sport).
Kensington Gardens’s layered fees run master association, Kensington Gardens association, optional club, county taxes and one-time closing charges. Each layer has its own governing document and its own billing date, and none of them is a community development district, which Kensington does not have.
Every Kensington parcel sits in Collier taxing-authority code 0104, 9.5058 mills for 2025: $950.58 for every $100,000 of taxable value (2025 Collier taxing authority codes). For 2026 the county kept its general fund at 3.0107 and cut Conservation Collier to 0.1772 (Collier FY26-27 millage resolution), and North Collier Fire held 1.0 mill (North Collier Fire Resolution 25-013). Homestead changes the taxable value, not the rate.
In Collier County the buyer customarily pays the owner’s title policy and chooses the closing agent, and the contract controls. Sellers usually pay documentary stamp tax on the deed and their own commission and payoff costs; the buyer usually pays KPMA’s Resale Capital Assessment under section 3.16 of the master declaration unless the parties agree otherwise (Master Declaration). Each association charges for its estoppel certificate within the statutory caps.
Kensington Gardens’s own budget, reserve schedule and dues are not published online. The Full Golf club price is not published by the club (club, Membership Types). Ask for each in writing before you commit.
Kensington Gardens is governed by Kensington Gardens Homeowners Association, Inc. under the Kensington Park Master Association, Inc., with exterior changes reviewed by the master association’s Architectural Review Board under its Architectural Control Manual, adopted most recently in 2025, and every owner bound by the recorded master declaration as well as the neighborhood documents.

Every Kensington Gardens owner is a mandatory member of Kensington Park Master Association, Inc., Sunbiz N93000002119 (Sunbiz, Kensington Park Master Association). Its Second Amended and Restated Master Declaration was recorded May 9, 2016 at O.R. Book 5271, Page 297 (Certificate of Amendment, 2016), and the Rules and Regulations and the Access and Patrol Manual add day-to-day rules (KPMA Rules and Regulations; Access and Patrol Manual).
The Architectural Review Board must approve essentially every exterior change, including repainting, roofs (flat or barrel concrete tile only), shutters, generators, screen enclosures, landscaping and tree removal; sheds, carports, above-ground pools, window air conditioners and artificial turf are not permitted anywhere in Kensington (ACM). Contractors work 7:00 to 17:00, Monday to Saturday, through the Livingston gate (KPMA, contractor rules).
Kensington Gardens is not recorded as a 55 and older community. No recorded Kensington Gardens or Kensington master document read for this page carries a housing-for-older-persons declaration, and Kensington’s rules address occupancy by family and guests, not by age; buyers of any age may purchase, subject to association approval.
Some Kensington Gardens documents add supervision or occupancy rules; those are use rules, not age restrictions. Read the declaration in the resale package for the exact text (KPMA, Forms and Docs).
You can rent out a Kensington Gardens home under the recorded Kensington Gardens rules and the master association’s tenant rules: the minimum term, the number of leases a year and the approval step come from the Kensington Gardens documents, and every tenant must register with the master association and park in the garage.
The 1998 declaration (s.9.03) allows no more than three leases in a calendar year and none shorter than 30 days; leasing needs no prior board approval, but the section’s conditions apply. (recorded document)
Tenants must register in dwellingLIVE and garage-park (Access and Patrol Manual). The master declaration sets no minimum lease of its own (KPMA, About Us). Collier County requires short-term vacation rentals to register (Collier County, short-term vacation rental registration), and rentals of six months or less owe tourist tax (Collier Tax Collector, tourist tax FAQ).

Pet rules in Kensington Gardens start with the master declaration’s limit of two household pets per home, leashed or carried outside and never on Country Club property, and the Kensington Gardens documents can add their own limits, which are quoted below where the recorded text was read.
The Kensington Gardens declaration (s.9.12) allows no more than two household pets such as dogs, cats, fish or birds, contained in the home, leashed or carried outside, and not on Country Club property. Master declaration s.8.20 sets the two-pet limit and bars commercial breeding (Master Declaration), and the Architectural Control Manual does not permit electronic dog fences (ACM).

Collier County’s evacuation layer places Kensington Gardens in Zone C (Collier GIS evacuation zones), and none of Kensington falls in the Coastal High Hazard Area (Collier GIS Coastal High Hazard Area). Florida evacuates Zone A first (FDEM, Know Your Zone). For the 2024 storms, KPMA reported only minor gate and landscaping impact from Milton (KPMA Newsletter, Fall 2024).
Each Kensington Gardens owner insures the home: the master declaration (s.9.2) requires owners to insure their Lot and Home including all risk, flood and liability, and repairs after a casualty must start within 90 days (Master Declaration). Citizens Property Insurance requires flood coverage on all personal residential policies from January 1, 2027 (s. 627.351). Wind-mitigation inspections under section 627.711 document the features that earn credits (s. 627.711).
Kensington Gardens homes were built 1998 to 2012, median year 2001; the statewide Florida Building Code took effect March 1, 2002 (Florida Housing, Overview of the Florida Building Code). Collier’s 8th Edition design wind speed for homes at Kensington is 163 mph (Collier GIS FBC 8th Edition wind load). Re-roofs must be concrete tile under the ACM, and shutters follow the manual’s seasonal rules (ACM).

Kensington Gardens is zoned for Osceola Elementary, Pine Ridge Middle and Barron Collier High for school year 2026-27, according to the district’s own address lookup run October 17, 2026; all three earned an A in 2026, and the elementary and high schools sit across Pine Ridge Road from the front gate.
School | Level | 2026 state grade | From the front gate (free-flow) |
|---|---|---|---|
Osceola Elementary School | Elementary | A | about 4.2 minutes |
Pine Ridge Middle School | Middle | A | about 5.6 minutes |

County permits, zoning and recorded work at Kensington Gardens start from the Kensington Park PUD, which Collier County lists as built out, so new building here means renovation and replacement under county permits and the master association’s architectural approval, not new subdivisions.
The zoning is Kensington Park PUD, Ordinance 98-8, shown on Collier’s zoning atlas map 9513N (Collier zoning atlas 9513N; Ordinance 98-8). Roofs, windows, shutters, generators and pools need both a county permit and Architectural Review Board approval (ACM). Elevation certificates filed with the county are searchable on its map layer (Collier GIS elevation certificates).
Near Kensington Gardens, the project that matters most is Collier County’s rebuild of the Pine Ridge and Livingston intersection with a jughandle, which could start construction from summer 2027; the I-75 diverging diamond at Pine Ridge opened at the end of May 2026, and nearby residential growth is small.
The county’s 60% design meeting was held June 18, 2026, and construction could begin from summer 2027 for about 18 months (Collier County, Pine Ridge Road Corridor Project; 60% design plans handout). FDOT’s I-75 and Pine Ridge interchange (FPN 445296-1) opened its diverging diamond pattern in late May 2026 (FDOT, 445296-1). Pine Ridge Road from Airport to Livingston runs at 96.7% of capacity in the county’s 2025 inventory (Collier 2025 AUIR). Adjacent zoning on Kensington’s edges is built out; the nearest new homes, Hamilton Place and Songbird at Whippoorwill, are east of Livingston Road and already built.
Daily logistics in Kensington Gardens run through Kensington’s two gates, its garage-first parking rules, Hotwire fiber in the master dues, City of Naples water and a short drive to Pine Ridge Road groceries, pharmacies, urgent care and the 24-hour emergency room at Physicians Regional Pine Ridge.

Choose Kensington Gardens if you want a large single-family home on a lake or the golf course inside a gated, optional-club community, with an association that keeps the private roads, entry features and bulkheads. Choose Canterbury Green if you want a single-family patio-home neighborhood instead, at its $1,350,000 median. Either way, call Marc at (239) 287-5873 to tour both in one afternoon, or, if you own in Kensington Gardens, get a free valuation before you decide to trade across.

In Collier County the buyer customarily pays the owner’s title policy and chooses the closing agent; the contract controls. Sellers typically pay documentary stamp tax on the deed, their commission and payoffs.
The master declaration’s Resale Capital Assessment is two quarterly installments, $2,568 at 2026 rates, paid by the buyer unless the contract says otherwise (Master Declaration s.3.16). Each association also charges for its estoppel certificate.
Yes. The Kensington Gardens documents require written approval of a buyer before closing (Kensington Gardens s.12.01); submit the application with the contract so the approval runs alongside the buyer’s inspection and financing.
One prescribed sale sign design is allowed, and open houses run only on KPMA-designated Sundays from 1:00 to 4:00 pm, with showing agents authorized through dwellingLIVE (KPMA, Realtors).
Not automatically. Owning a Kensington Gardens home confers no club right under the master declaration (s.10.2), and the club’s own by-laws and Membership Plan govern resignations and new memberships (club, Membership Types).

These buyer questions about Kensington Gardens come from real searches and from what buyers ask us on tours inside Kensington; every answer is drawn from the recorded documents, the county’s map layers, the state registers and the MLS window cited on this page, with no figure taken from a listing portal.
Kensington Gardens is a single-family estate neighborhood of 83 platted lots inside Kensington Golf and Country Club, the gated community recorded as Kensington Park on Pine Ridge Road in Naples, ZIP 34105. It has its own association under the mandatory Kensington Park Master Association.
82 homes and one vacant lot on 83 platted lots, per Collier County’s address layer and the Florida DOR 2026 roll.
We tracked seven Kensington Gardens sales at a $2,700,000 median, from $1,725,000 to $3,375,000 in the Southwest Florida MLS, closed sales August 11, 2025 to August 11, 2026. Days on market and price per square foot were not in the extract held for this page.
The county roll dates Kensington Gardens homes to 1998 to 2012, median year 2001.
County living area runs 2,741 to 12,092 square feet of county living area, median about 4,139. County living area can differ from a listing’s heated square footage.
The master assessment is $1,284 a quarter in 2026 for every Kensington home. Kensington Gardens’s own dues are not published; the estoppel certificate at a sale states them.
No. The master association says membership in the club is not required, and owning a Kensington Gardens home confers no club right (KPMA, About Us).
For 2026 the club publishes Preview Sport at $20,000 plus tax with a $30,000 promotional capital contribution and $1,121.37 a month, and Preview Social at $10,000 plus tax, $15,000 and $710.74 a month; Full Golf is not published (club Preview Membership Offerings).

Zone X on FIRM panel 12021C0384J, effective February 8, 2024: 80 homes unshaded Zone X and 2 shaded Zone X (0.2% annual chance). No Kensington Gardens home is in the 100-year zone.
Zone X carries no federal flood mandate by zone, but lenders may require it, the master declaration requires owners to insure including flood, and Citizens requires flood coverage on all personal residential policies from 2027.
Zone C, per Collier County’s evacuation layer; Kensington is outside the Coastal High Hazard Area.
Osceola Elementary, Pine Ridge Middle and Barron Collier High for 2026-27, each graded A in 2026.
The 1998 declaration (s.9.03) allows no more than three leases in a calendar year and none shorter than 30 days; leasing needs no prior board approval, but the section’s conditions apply.

Newell Property Management, per the master association’s July 2026 welcome packet and the Florida corporate record.

No. Collier County’s community development district layer shows no district at Kensington.

Golf carts are vehicles under the master rules and must be garaged; drivers under 16 may not operate any vehicle on the common area.
Clam Pass Park is about 7.2 minutes from the front gate free-flow, and Vanderbilt Beach Park about 12.2 minutes.

Common-area landscaping and irrigation, the bulkheads on listed lots unless KPMA assumes them, the private roads, entry and gate features, signage, the golf cart path, berms and bridges (s.7.03).

These seller questions about Kensington Gardens are the ones owners ask us before they list; the answers come from the Kensington Gardens documents, the master association’s closing rules, Florida statutes, the county records and the Southwest Florida MLS, closed sales August 11, 2025 to August 11, 2026, and each one is specific to selling inside Kensington.
Value starts from the 7 Kensington Gardens sales in the latest 12 months (seven Kensington Gardens sales at a $2,700,000 median, from $1,725,000 to $3,375,000) and the nearest Kensington comparables, then adjusts for size, lot or floor position and condition. Get a free valuation or call Jesse at (239) 898-6072.
7 closed in the Southwest Florida MLS, closed sales August 11, 2025 to August 11, 2026.
With 7 sales in one 12-month window, a trend line for Kensington Gardens alone is not reliable; compare the specific sales and the community’s 43 sales at a $925,000 median.
Days on market were not in the extract held for this page. Association approval adds time between contract and closing.
The sale-to-list ratio was not in the extract held for this page.
The active listing count was not in the extract held for this page. Call Jesse at (239) 898-6072 for today’s number.
In Collier County the buyer customarily pays the owner’s title policy and chooses the closing agent; the contract controls.
Documentary stamp tax on the deed, the listing commission, payoffs and prorated taxes and dues; the contract controls each line.
The Resale Capital Assessment of $2,568 (two quarters) under s.3.16, paid by the buyer unless the contract shifts it (Master Declaration).
A statement of every amount owed to an association, issued within statutory deadlines and fee caps (s. 720.30851); the closing agent usually orders it from Newell Property Management and KPMA.
Yes. The Kensington Gardens documents require written approval of the buyer before closing.
Yes, subject to the lease and the association’s approval of the new owner; a buyer takes title subject to an existing approved lease unless the contract says otherwise.
One sale sign of the prescribed Kensington design is allowed (ACM).
Only on KPMA-designated Sundays, 1:00 to 4:00 pm (KPMA, Realtors).
The seller authorizes the listing agent in dwellingLIVE, and the listing agent authorizes showing agents; unannounced visitors are turned away at the gate.
Not automatically; the club’s by-laws and Membership Plan govern resignations and new memberships, and owning the home confers no club right.
Florida’s flood disclosure statute requires sellers of residential property to disclose known flood damage and flood insurance claims (s. 689.302). Kensington Gardens sits in Zone X, but disclosure still applies.
It documents roof-to-wall connections, roof shape and opening protection that earn insurance credits under s. 627.711, which lowers the buyer’s carrying cost (s. 627.711).
Buyers and insurers will ask; a Kensington Gardens home built 1998 to 2012 may be on an original or second roof. Re-roofs must be concrete tile under the ACM, and the ARB must approve.
Items an inspector or insurer will flag: roof, water heater age, A/C, and any exterior paint the association would cite. Interior finishes matter less than these in a document-driven sale.
Not required, but on a home built before 2002 it lets you fix or price known items before a buyer’s inspector finds them.
List the actual Kensington Gardens sales, then the nearest Kensington comparables of the same product, and adjust for size and position; never stretch a median from fewer than three sales.
Kensington’s 43 sales spanned $500,000 to $3,375,000; Kensington Gardens’s 7 sit in their own band, so a Kensington-wide median misprices a Kensington Gardens home.
Compare the net sale proceeds with rent under Kensington Gardens’s leasing rules (minimum term, leases a year, approval) and the master tenant rules, then with the carrying cost of dues, taxes and insurance.
Most use conventional financing or cash; a lender’s appraiser compares the home with recent sales in the same village first, which is why the comparables above matter.
The closest Kensington Gardens sales first, then same-product sales elsewhere in Kensington.
Remote signing, a local closing agent and a listing agent who handles the gate, the association application and the estoppel make it routine.
Yes; cash shortens the timeline, but association approval still applies and the estoppel and closing steps are the same.
Season brings the most buyers to Naples from January to April; a listing that is ready in the fall catches the first arrivals.
The declaration puts it on the buyer unless the parties agree otherwise, so say who pays it in the contract to avoid a dispute at closing.
Choose an agent who reads the Kensington Gardens documents, prices from the specific sales and handles the association approval. McGreevy and Comisar are Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008; call Jesse at (239) 898-6072.
The buyer applies with the contract; the board reviews within the declaration’s deadline and issues an approval, and the closing agent cannot close without it.
