Paloma Grande is a condominium inside the master-planned community of Paloma in Bonita Springs, Florida. It holds 136 condominium homes in 34 two-story buildings of four, built by D.R. Horton from 2016 to 2019 on Palace Lane and Monte Carlo Boulevard, each home with its own one-car garage. The 68 first-floor homes have two bedrooms and the 68 second-floor homes have three. In the 12 months to September 25, 2026, Lee County recorded 13 Paloma Grande sales at a $325,000 median. McGreevy and Comisar lead Domain Realty Group, the #1 real estate team in Southwest Florida since 2012, from an office in Bonita Springs. For the wider community, including its single-family homes and villas, see our Paloma seller guide, Paloma home valuation guide and Paloma buyer guide.

A word on the name, because search results blur it. This page covers Paloma Grande, A Condominium, and Paloma Grande Condominium Association, Inc., in the City of Bonita Springs, Lee County, ZIP 34135. It is not Paloma at Palmira, a separate condominium of 103 homes inside Palmira Golf and Country Club with its own association. Inside Paloma, Paloma Grande is the condominium section; the 132 detached homes on the three Paloma plats and the villas and homes filed under the older Villages at Old Cypress plat are covered on the Paloma page.

If you own a Paloma Grande condo and are weighing a sale, start with the market snapshot and the seller section, then call Jesse. If you are buying, the sections below show what a Paloma Grande home costs to buy and to carry, what the recorded Declaration of Condominium says about leasing, pets, insurance and alterations, how the master association's rules sit on top of it, and which records to ask for before you write an offer. Where the public record stops, we say so and name the document that would answer the question.

Why McGreevy and Comisar Are the Best Realtor for Paloma Grande

McGreevy and Comisar are the best realtor for Paloma Grande in Bonita Springs because a 136-home condominium is sold on its records: we read the recorded Declaration of Condominium, the master association's leasing rules and roster, the Florida condominium register, the flood layer at each building group and every recorded Paloma Grande sale before we price or advise, and our office is in Bonita Springs.

If you're searching for the best realtor for Paloma Grande in Paloma, Bonita Springs, whether you're ready to sell your Paloma Grande home or buy your next one, McGreevy and Comisar is the team that delivers. We lead Domain Realty Group, the #1 real estate team in Southwest Florida since 2012 and the #5 real estate team in Florida (RealTrends 2026), Top 1% Nationally since 2008, with over $2.5 billion sold as a team and $900 million in personal sales between Jesse and Marc. Sellers and buyers comparing the best real estate agents in Bonita Springs should ask each agent to price one specific Paloma Grande condo from Paloma Grande's own recorded sales, floor by floor, and we do exactly that below, in the open.

Recent Paloma Grande market (last 12 months): In the 12 months to September 25, 2026, Lee County recorded 13 Paloma Grande sales, all resales, at a median of $325,000 (n = 13, odd), a range of $170,000 to $355,000 and a median of $228.46 per square foot of county heated area. Six were first-floor homes and seven were second-floor homes; eleven were on Palace Lane and two on Monte Carlo Boulevard. On the Southwest Florida MLS the same 13 homes closed at a median of 123 days on market and a median 96.6 percent of the final list price (Southwest Florida MLS, closings from September 26, 2025 to September 25, 2026, pulled October 17, 2026).

We tracked every one of those 13 recorded Paloma Grande sales, and we tracked all 53 recorded in the 60 months to September 25, 2026, each sorted by floor, street, building group and year built. Each of the 12-month sales is listed in the market snapshot below by month, price, street, floor and year built only.

For Paloma Grande sellers: premium marketing, including cinematic video, drone, professional photography, a qualified-buyer database, and discretion when a sale needs to stay quiet. A Paloma Grande sale also needs two associations' paperwork in order before the first showing: the condominium association's estoppel certificate and the master association's, the master's New Buyer Form and 30 days' notice, and the condominium resale documents Florida law requires the seller to deliver.

For Paloma Grande buyers: the first question is the floor, because the two-bedroom first-floor homes and the three-bedroom second-floor homes have sold as two separate markets. The second is the carry: the master association's Carriage Home assessment of $640.74 a quarter is published, while the condominium association's own assessment is not. The third is the rule set: no lease shorter than three months under the master's rules, no lease at all in the first year for a home bought after August 20, 2025, and up to two pets.

Key Takeaways: What Should Paloma Grande Buyers and Sellers Know?

Paloma Grande buyers and sellers in Bonita Springs should know eight facts from the record: the home count, the two floor plans, the price, the carry, the leasing rules, the flood map, the insurance split and the build years, each drawn from the recorded Declaration, the county roll and recorded sales, the master association's documents and FEMA's flood layer.

  • 136 homes, 34 buildings, one condominium. Thirty-four two-story buildings of four homes each, one building per phase, under Paloma Grande Condominium Association, Inc. (Declaration of Condominium, Lee County Clerk instrument 2016000183131).

  • Two plans, one per floor. The master association's roster lists the Samone model on all 68 first-floor homes (two bedrooms, two baths) and the Victoria on all 68 second-floor homes (three bedrooms, two baths), about 1,280 and 1,530 square feet of county heated area.

  • $325,000 median. Thirteen recorded sales in the 12 months to September 25, 2026, from $170,000 to $355,000; 53 sales at a $370,000 median over 60 months.

  • $640.74 a quarter to the master. The master association's 2026 budget document sets the Carriage Home assessment; the condominium association's own assessment is not published and comes from the estoppel certificate.

  • Three months, 15 percent, first year. The master's rules set a three to twelve month lease term, a 15 percent cap of 50 leases across Paloma's 331 homes, and no lease in the first year of ownership for homes bought after August 20, 2025.

  • Two flood zones by building. FEMA's live layer returns Zone AE at Phases 1 to 20 and shaded Zone X at Phases 21 to 34; a 2018 FEMA letter removed Phases 1 to 20 on the earlier map.

  • The association insures the buildings. The Declaration requires coverage at not less than 100 percent of full insurable replacement value; owners insure contents, interiors and liability.

  • Built 2016 to 2019, two stories. Florida's structural integrity reserve study and milestone inspection laws reach buildings of three stories or more, so their thresholds appear not to be met.

What Is It Like Living in Paloma Grande as a Homebuyer?

Living in Paloma Grande in Bonita Springs means a two- or three-bedroom condominium home in a two-story, four-home building with its own one-car garage and driveway, building exteriors and roofs kept by the condominium association, and membership in Paloma's gated master association with its clubhouse, pool, fitness center, tennis and bocce.

What Is Paloma Grande?

Paloma Grande is the condominium section of Paloma, a gated D.R. Horton community of 331 homes off Imperial Parkway in the City of Bonita Springs. On the record it is one condominium, Paloma Grande, A Condominium, created by a Declaration of Condominium recorded in 2016 and built out as a phase condominium of 34 phases, one building per phase. The Florida Division of Condominiums lists it as project PR76403 with 136 units and a recorded date of August 26, 2016. Paloma's master association counts 136 condominium homes among its 331 residences, beside 151 houses and 44 villas.

Two Associations, One Gate

A Paloma Grande owner belongs to two associations at once. Paloma Grande Condominium Association, Inc. insures and maintains the 34 buildings, their roofs and exteriors, under Florida's condominium law, Chapter 718. Paloma Community Association, Inc., the master, owns and runs the amenity center, the lakes, the private streets and the gate under the homeowners' association law, Chapter 720. The Declaration says each owner pays the master's assessment "directly to the Master Association", which holds its own lien rights.

Two Streets: Palace Lane and Monte Carlo Boulevard

The Declaration gives every building "a unique physical address on Monte Carlo Boulevard or Palace Lane". The association's roster places 23 buildings, 92 homes, on Palace Lane and 11 buildings, 44 homes, on Monte Carlo Boulevard. Monte Carlo Boulevard also carries Paloma Phase One single-family homes and some of the Villages at Old Cypress villas, so confirm the condominium name, not only the street, before comparing prices.

The Home: First Floor or Second Floor

The floor decides the plan. Every first-floor home is the Samone on the association's roster, two bedrooms and two baths, with 1,278 to 1,281 square feet of county heated area. Every second-floor home is the Victoria, three bedrooms and two baths, with 1,532 square feet. Each building holds two of each. The second-floor homes are reached by stairs; the Declaration describes the stairwells as built "primarily for ingress and egress".

The Garage and the Driveway

Every Paloma Grande home has a garage, and the Declaration makes the garage part of the unit. The roster counts one garage space per home, plus two driveway spaces at most homes, for three parking spaces in all at 113 homes, two at 21 homes and four at 2 homes. The Declaration bars converting a garage to living space and keeps boats, trailers and campers inside a garage only.

Who Lives in Paloma Grande, by the Record

The county roll is the record here, and it describes homes, not people. Built from 2016 to 2019, the 136 homes turned over at about 9.6 percent in the last 12 months (13 resales), close to the 9.8 percent of Paloma's single-family homes. The master's leasing summary counts 42 to 48 leases across all 331 Paloma homes in an average month. We describe the property and the record, not the people who live there.

What Paloma Grande Does Not Have

Five things buyers sometimes assume. No private pools: the roster marks every condominium home "No" for a pool; owners use the master's resort pool. No elevator: the buildings are two stories. No new construction: the roll dates every home to 2016 to 2019, and every sale in the last 12 months was a resale. No published condominium dues: the master's Carriage Home assessment is public; the condominium association's is not. No golf course: Paloma has no golf course, marina or beach of its own.

What Do Paloma Grande Condos Sell For?

Paloma Grande condos in Bonita Springs sold 13 times in the 12 months to September 25, 2026 at a $325,000 median, from $170,000 to $355,000, or $228.46 per square foot of county heated area, in Lee County's recorded sales. Over 60 months, 53 sales closed at a $370,000 median, and all 13 recent sales were resales.

Data updated: October 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser public roll and Lee County recorded sales through September 25, 2026, our analysis run October 12, 2026)

These figures are Lee County's DOR-qualified recorded sales, the deed price the county records, matched to the Paloma Grande parcels on the roll. They are not MLS figures. Square-foot figures use the county's heated area, which leaves out the garage and can differ from the living area in a listing. The county file holds 135 of the 136 homes; one second-floor home is missing from the extract, so the 60-month and all-history counts leave out one 2023 resale of that home. The Southwest Florida MLS shows 13 Paloma Grande closings in the same window, matching the county count, at a median of 123 days on market and a median 96.6 percent of the final list price; on October 17, 2026 three Paloma Grande homes were active and one was under contract (Southwest Florida MLS, closings from September 26, 2025 to September 25, 2026, pulled October 17, 2026).

First Floor vs Second Floor

The floor splits the market. In the 12 months the six first-floor sales ran from $170,000 to $325,000 and the seven second-floor sales from $325,000 to $355,000, so the two ranges met only at $325,000. Under 10 sales each, we print the range, not a median. Over 24 months the first floor recorded 13 sales at a $322,500 median ($252.15 per square foot) and the second floor 12 sales at a $355,000 median ($231.72 per square foot).

Does the Flood Map Split the Price?

Not in the record so far. Phases 1 to 20, the buildings FEMA's live layer puts in Zone AE, recorded 5 sales in the 12 months ($300,000 to $355,000) and 12 sales in 24 months at a $345,000 median. Phases 21 to 34, in shaded Zone X, recorded 8 sales ($170,000 to $355,000) and 13 sales in 24 months at a $330,000 median. The groups hold different mixes of floors, and a $15,000 gap between 24-month medians sits inside the spread of either group, so we read no flood-zone premium or discount in these figures.

By Street and by Year Built

Palace Lane recorded 11 of the 13 sales in the 12 months, at a $325,000 median. Monte Carlo Boulevard recorded 2, at $335,500 and $352,500, and 10 over 36 months at a $361,250 median. By year built, the 2017 buildings recorded 4 sales ($300,000 to $352,500), the 2018 buildings 5 ($290,000 to $355,000) and the 2019 buildings 4 ($170,000 to $355,000); the three 2016 buildings recorded none.

What the $170,000 Sale Means

The lowest sale of the 12 months, $170,000 on August 20, 2026, a first-floor home, sits $115,000 below the next-lowest sale, $285,000 six days earlier. The county codes both as qualified sales. Whether the $170,000 sale was an ordinary arm's-length sale could not be verified from the public record, so we build no price claim on it; without it, the first-floor 12-month range is $285,000 to $325,000.

Price Per Square Foot, and Why the Floors Differ

Paloma Grande's 12-month median is $228.46 per square foot of county heated area. Per square foot, the smaller first-floor homes have sold higher ($252.15 over 24 months) than the larger second-floor homes ($231.72), while the second-floor homes sell for more in total. Both figures use the county's heated area, which leaves out the garage, the patio or balcony and the entry.

How Did Paloma Grande Come to Be?

Paloma Grande came to be as D.R. Horton's final phase at Paloma in Bonita Springs: a phase condominium declared in 2016 on the Paloma Phase Four tract, built one four-home building at a time from 2016 to 2019, and sold out by the spring of 2019, after the builder had finished Paloma's 132 single-family homes.

From Villages at Old Cypress to Paloma

The land sits inside the Tesone Mixed Use Planned Development, rezoned by City of Bonita Springs Zoning Ordinance 03-16 in 2003. An earlier developer platted it as Villages at Old Cypress in 2008 and renamed the master association Monaco in December 2008. D.R. Horton took title to the remaining lots in October 2012 and recorded the Amended and Restated Declaration of Paloma in February 2013, when the master association took the Paloma name.

The Phase Four Plat

The condominium sits on the plat of Paloma Phase Four, Lee County Clerk instrument 2015000268601, which the plat describes as "A REPLAT OF A PORTION OF TRACT X OF PALOMA PHASE TWO" in the City of Bonita Springs. Its dedications run to Paloma Community Association, Bonita Springs Utilities, the licensed utilities and Florida Power and Light. Q. Grady Minor and Associates of Bonita Springs prepared it.

A Condominium Built One Building at a Time

D.R. Horton recorded the Declaration of Condominium in 2016 (the Florida condominium register gives August 26, 2016 as the recorded date), with the master association's joinder dated June 13, 2016. The Declaration describes "thirty-four (34), four Unit condominium Buildings containing a total of one hundred thirty-six (136) Residential Units" and submitted Phase 19 first; the builder then added phases by amendment. It allowed later phases of four or five homes, but every one of the 34 buildings holds four.

The Build Years

The county roll dates three buildings to 2016, fifteen to 2017, eleven to 2018 and five to 2019. The first recorded sale of a Paloma Grande home was October 31, 2016. Trade press in October 2016 reported the condominium as D.R. Horton's final phase at Paloma, and archived builder pages priced the first-floor plan at $224,990 that October and the Victoria at $247,990 in November 2016. By the county's sale records the builder's first sales ran to May 2019, at a $233,850 median for first-floor homes and $254,325 for second-floor homes (an estimate from the recorded sales).

Who Controls the Condominium Now

The builder's assessment guarantee in the Declaration ended "upon the turnover of control of the Association to Unit Owners other than the Developer". Paloma Grande Condominium Association, Inc. was filed with the Florida Division of Corporations on April 11, 2016 and has filed an annual report every year from 2017 to 2026, most recently on April 17, 2026. The master association recites that it took control from D.R. Horton on December 28, 2018.

What Are the Paloma Grande Buildings and Floor Plans Like?

Paloma Grande's 34 buildings in Bonita Springs are two-story, four-home buildings: two first-floor homes and two second-floor homes in each, every home with a one-car garage inside the unit, a private entry and a patio or balcony, built by D.R. Horton from 2016 to 2019 with post-tensioned concrete slabs.

The Samone: Every First-Floor Home

The 68 first-floor homes are the Samone model on the master association's roster, recorded by the county with two bedrooms, two baths and 1,278 to 1,281 square feet of heated area. Trade press in 2016 described the Samone as two bedrooms, two baths and a den with a one-car garage. First-floor homes have no stairs to climb from the garage or the entry.

The Victoria: Every Second-Floor Home

The 68 second-floor homes are the Victoria model, recorded with three bedrooms, two baths and 1,532 square feet of heated area. The second-floor homes carry the higher prices in total and the lower price per square foot. Reaching them means stairs from the ground; the Declaration does not record an elevator, and none is on the roll.

Three Ways to Measure One Home

A Paloma Grande home has three published sizes, and they measure different things. The county roll's heated area (about 1,280 and 1,532 square feet) counts air-conditioned living space. The Declaration states 1,756 and 1,998 square feet for the first-phase units, a unit area that includes the garage and leaves out the patio, balcony and entry. The builder's 2016 plan sizes were 1,402 and 1,661 square feet. This page prices by the county's heated area and never mixes the three.

Built With Post-Tensioned Slabs

The Declaration warns that "the Condominium has been constructed with post tensioned cables and/or rods, absolutely no penetration shall be made to any floor, roof or ceiling slabs without the prior written consent of the Board of Directors and review of the as-built plans". Drilling into a floor or ceiling slab for a light, a fan or plumbing therefore starts with the board and the building plans, which the association keeps in its official records.

Year Built and Roof Age

The county roll dates the buildings from 2016 to 2019, so the roofs, if original, are 7 to 10 years old in 2026, under the 15-year line that Florida's insurance statute uses for roof age. The condominium association maintains and insures the roofs, so a Paloma Grande owner's own policy does not turn on roof age the way a house policy does. Roof replacement permits were not checked.

What Each Owner Maintains

The Declaration puts the inside of the home on the owner: "screens, windows, the entrance door and all other doors", wiring, plumbing, heating and air conditioning, water heaters, appliances, cabinets, floor coverings and "the entire interior of the Unit (including drywall)". The association maintains the common elements, paints the exteriors and keeps the roofs, and paints the outside of entry doors and garage doors while the owner keeps the doors and hardware working.

What Amenities Come With a Paloma Grande Condo?

Paloma Grande condo owners in Bonita Springs use Paloma's master amenity center on Tract D of the Phase Two plat, a clubhouse with a resort pool, fitness center, two tennis courts and a bocce court, through membership in Paloma Community Association; Paloma Grande has no pool or clubhouse of its own.

The Master Amenity Center

Tract D is dedicated to the master association "for recreational purposes", and the county roll shows a 2.43-acre tract with one 3,326 square foot building built in 2015. The master's Rules name the Clubhouse, Pool, Fitness Center, Tennis Courts, Bocce Court, a mailbox kiosk and amenity parking. The Amended Declaration gives every Lot or Unit owner an easement of enjoyment in the common area, Paloma Grande owners included.

Hours and House Rules

The master's Rules open the clubhouse from 5 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. with private events of up to 45 people by reservation, the pool from dawn to dusk with children under 12 accompanied by an adult, and the fitness center from 5 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. by key card for residents and overnight guests, nobody under 12. People who do not live in Paloma may not enter only to use an amenity.

No Paloma Grande Pool

The Florida Department of Health's statewide pool list dated September 1, 2026 carries one permitted pool at Paloma, owned by the master association, and none for Paloma Grande. The association's roster marks every condominium home "No" for a private pool. Owners who want water close by walk or drive to the master pool.

The Lakes

The master association's lakes border many Paloma Grande buildings. Boating, swimming and wading are prohibited, and the master's 2023 and 2025 documents allow catch-and-release fishing behind one's own home or from common areas that border the lakes, with every fish going back into the lake it came from. No docks, canoes or kayaks are allowed on the lakes.

Golf, Boating and Parks Nearby

Paloma has no golf course, marina or beach. Bonita Fairways, a public 18-hole executive course, is about 10 minutes away; Saltleaf Golf Preserve, a public course, about 17; the Golf Club at Palmira, a private club, about 15. Lee County's Imperial River Boat Ramp is about 11 minutes away, and Leitner Neighborhood Park and the Bonita Springs Dog Park are within about a mile.

Who Governs Paloma Grande?

Paloma Grande in Bonita Springs is governed by Paloma Grande Condominium Association, Inc., a Florida not-for-profit corporation filed April 11, 2016 that runs the condominium under Chapter 718, and above it by Paloma Community Association, Inc., the master homeowners' association under Chapter 720 that runs the gate, lakes, streets and amenity center.

The Condominium Association

Paloma Grande Condominium Association, Inc. is document N16000003729 on the Florida Division of Corporations' record, active, with a principal address on Monte Carlo Boulevard and a board of five (president, treasurer, secretary and two directors). Each of the 136 homes carries one vote and an equal 1/136 share of the common elements and common expenses.

The Florida Condominium Register

The Division of Florida Condominiums, Timeshares and Mobile Homes lists "PALOMA GRANDE, A CONDO" as project PR76403, 136 units, Lee County, recorded date August 26, 2016, status Approved and Recorded, managed by Paloma Grande Condo Assn, Inc. Its payment history shows the condominium's annual fee of $544 (136 units at $4 each) billed and paid every year from 2022 to 2026, with nothing pending.

The Master Association

Paloma Community Association, Inc. (document N07000011645) is the master for all 331 Paloma homes. Its Amended Declaration of 2025, its 2023 Fifth Amendment and its Rules govern the gate, the amenity center, leasing across every home type, vehicles, signs and fines. Paloma Grande owners vote in both associations and pay both.

The Managers

The master association's site names Harbor Management for the master and Resort Management Group for Paloma Grande. The Sunbiz record lists Resort Management as the condominium association's registered agent at its Naples office, and Resort Management's own site routes purchase documents and estoppel requests through its online document portal. Managers change, so confirm the current manager on the estoppel request.

Amendments and Votes

The Declaration lets the board or one-third of the members propose an amendment and needs "no less than sixty-seven percent (67%) of the Unit Owners" to adopt one. Changes to the insurance, casualty-repair and condemnation sections also need the primary institutional first mortgagee to join, and any change that touches drainage needs the South Florida Water Management District's consent.

Where Complaints Go

For the condominium, the Division of Florida Condominiums, Timeshares and Mobile Homes handles complaints, arbitration and mediation within its jurisdiction. For the master homeowners' association, the Division arbitrates election and recall disputes only, and most other disputes go to presuit mediation under Florida Statutes section 720.311.

What Are the HOA Fees and Costs to Own a Paloma Grande Condo?

Paloma Grande condo owners in Bonita Springs pay two associations: the master's Carriage Home assessment of $640.74 a quarter in its 2026 budget document, about $2,562.96 a year, plus the condominium association's own quarterly assessment, which is not published in any document we read and is stated on the estoppel certificate.

Data updated: October 2026 (Paloma Community Association 2026 budget document; Declaration of Condominium, instrument 2016000183131; Lee County Property Appraiser 2026 TRIM notices, read October 12, 2026)

The Master Assessment

The master association's 2026 budget document (titled "Proposed 2026 Budget", file dated January 11, 2026) prices three home types: Single Family Homes $1,020.51, Villas $997.52 and Carriage Homes $640.74 a quarter. Carriage Homes are the Paloma Grande units. The master's assessment covers the common areas, the lakes and surface water system, the amenity center and the gate; its lawn line for single-family homes is a separate charge to those homes.

The Condominium Assessment

Paloma Grande owners also pay the condominium association's own assessment; its amount is not published in the documents we read, and the estoppel certificate or the condominium's resale documents state it. It funds the condominium's insurance, building and roof upkeep, exterior painting, driveways and any reserves the owners have not waived. The Declaration's builder guarantee of "$400.00 per month" ended at turnover and is not today's figure.

How Assessments Are Collected

The Declaration bills the condominium assessment quarterly, "due on the first calendar day of the quarter". A late installment owes "the greater of Twenty-Five and No/100 Dollars ($25.00) or five percent (5%)" after 10 days and interest at 18 percent a year after 30 days, and after 30 days' written notice the board may accelerate the rest of the year's installments. A buyer is jointly liable with the seller for anything unpaid.

One-Time Charges at a Sale

Two contributions come due on a resale. The Declaration requires the purchaser to pay the condominium association "$100.00 as a working capital contribution" on every conveyance, not credited to assessments and not refunded. The master's Fourth Amendment of 2022 sets a $1,000 capital contribution on each resale; the master's 2025 amended declaration says the buyer pays it at closing. The master's lease application fee is $150 if the home is rented.

Special Assessments

Under the Declaration, special or capital improvement assessments that exceed 10 percent of the year's operating budget need "approval of a majority of the voting interests represented at a meeting at which a quorum is attained". Smaller ones are a board decision. No Paloma Grande special assessment appears in the public records we read; the estoppel certificate states any that is pending.

Property Taxes, From Two 2026 Notices

Paloma Grande is in tax district 017, City of Bonita Springs and Bonita Springs Fire, at a 2025 total of 12.7970 mills. The Lee County Property Appraiser's 2026 notice for one second-floor home without exemptions shows a market value of $288,712, down from $324,857 in 2025, and proposed taxes of $3,701.78 against $4,157.20 in 2025. A homesteaded first-floor home shows $2,029.06 proposed. The City adopted 0.8411 mills for fiscal 2026-27, below the 0.8470 on the notices, so final bills will differ slightly; non-ad valorem charges are billed separately.

Estoppel Certificates

A Paloma Grande sale needs two estoppel certificates, one from each association. Florida Statutes section 718.116(8) for the condominium and section 720.30851 for the master set a $250 base fee, plus $100 if expedited within 3 business days and up to $150 if the account is delinquent; DBPR's published adjustment sets the current caps at $299, $119 and $179, and an association's actual fee may be lower. A certificate is due within 10 business days of the request and is good for 30 days.

What Does the Paloma Grande Declaration Say?

The Paloma Grande Declaration of Condominium, recorded in Lee County as instrument 2016000183131, sets who maintains what, how owners alter their homes, the flooring, window, hurricane and vehicle rules, the pet and lease rules and the insurance, and it binds every owner and tenant together with the master association's Declaration and Rules.

Alterations Need the Board

No owner may make a structural change, or any change visible from outside the home, without "the prior written consent of the Board of Directors". The board must answer a complete written request within 45 days or the request is treated as approved, and it may set conditions on the contractor, the hours and insurance. The master association's architectural rules apply on top.

Floors and Sound

Hard flooring such as tile, marble or wood needs the board's written approval, which "may be conditioned upon the use of appropriate soundproofing materials", and "No tile shall be permitted on balconies". The Declaration warns, in capitals, that "SOUND TRANSMISSION IS VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL" between homes. A second-floor buyer planning new floors starts with the board.

Windows, Shutters and Hurricane Protection

Window coverings facing the outside "shall be white or off-white in color". Hurricane protection is limited to shutters "meeting the specifications (including as to location) adopted by the Board of Directors", and "if laminated impact glass is installed, no shutters shall also be installed". No shutter may be fixed across an entry.

Signs, Flags and the Outside of the Building

Nothing may be attached to exterior doors, walls or windows, including signs, awnings, screens and window tinting, except one portable United States flag, the service flags the Declaration names on five holidays, and a small religious object at the door frame. Planting outside a home needs board approval.

Vehicles and the Garage

"Garages shall be utilized for the parking of motor vehicles and incidental storage only", and no garage may become living space, an office or a business. Commercial trucks, campers, recreational vehicles, boats and trailers may be kept only inside a unit garage; unmarked pickups and windowed vans are allowed, and a commercial vehicle used as a primary personal vehicle may be registered with the association.

Humidity and the Air Conditioning

The Declaration requires every owner, whether or not the home is occupied, to run the air conditioning to keep the home at "not more than 78°F", bars non-breathable wall coverings, and lets the association enter to turn the air conditioning on if needed. Owners and the association must inspect for and repair water intrusion in what each maintains.

Selling and Gifts

The condominium Declaration puts "no restriction on the right of any Unit Owner to sell, convey, or transfer his Unit"; the new owner gives the association a copy of the deed within 30 days. The master association's Amended Declaration adds 30 days' notice, a New Buyer Form, a possible background check and interview, and a board decision within 30 days, for every Paloma home. Gifts and inheritance pass freely, subject to the same rules.

Is Paloma Grande a 55+ Community?

Paloma Grande in Bonita Springs is not an age-restricted community on the record: the recorded Paloma Grande Declaration of Condominium, the master Declaration, its five amendments and the 2025 Amended Declaration contain no age restriction, so no minimum age applies to owners or residents under those documents.

The master association's documents and the condominium Declaration were searched for 55, 62, older persons and minimum-age language. The one age reference in sections 1 to 19 of the Declaration is a general one: the builder was not exempt from any restriction "relating to ... occupancy of Units based on age", and the documents set none. The governing documents control, and the master's occupancy rules (such as the single-family definition for leases) apply to every home.

Can You Rent Out a Paloma Grande Condo?

Yes, a Paloma Grande condo in Bonita Springs can be rented, with limits from two documents: the Declaration of Condominium allows written whole-home leases of at least 30 days and no more than four a year, and the master association's rules set a three to twelve month term, a 15 percent cap across Paloma and no lease in a buyer's first year.

The Condominium Declaration's Rule

Section 18.2 says "No portion of a Residential Unit (other than an entire Unit) may be leased" and that every lease must be in writing. "No lease of a Residential Unit shall be for a period of less than thirty (30) days and no Residential Unit may be leased in excess of four (4) times a calendar year except for renewals." The association may review every lease, charge an administrative fee and end a lease if the tenant breaks the rules.

The Master Association's Rule

The master's leasing summary of September 23, 2025 says "All leases must be for a minimum term of 3 months and a maximum term of 12 months" and that "All leases, regardless of home type (single family house, villa, coach/condo), come under the responsibility of Paloma Community Association". Leases go in 20 days before they start ($150 expedite fee if late), with a $150 application fee; no subletting and no month-to-month leases.

The 15 Percent Cap

No more than 15 percent of Paloma's homes may be leased at once, which the master computes as 50 of 331 residences, with a waiting list once the cap is reached. Its summary says Paloma averages between 42 and 48 leases depending on the month, with the season from January to April the highest.

The First-Year Rule

The master's summary says "Owners who purchase a home in Paloma (single family home, villa, or condo unit) after August 20, 2025 cannot lease it to tenants within the first year of ownership." A buyer who plans to rent a Paloma Grande home should count that year into the plan.

Tenants and Parking

Tenants may not keep more vehicles than the parking spaces the roster assigns to the home, which is three at most Paloma Grande homes (one garage space and two in the driveway) and two at 21 homes. Tenants' guests may stay up to 10 days and only while the tenants are in residence, and the owner gives up use of the amenities while the home is leased.

Which Rule Wins

The Declaration's 30-day minimum is the floor in the condominium's own document; the master applies its three-month minimum and cap to condominium homes too, so in practice the stricter rule governs. Florida law limits how some post-2021 rental amendments apply to owners who bought before them; how that applies to a given home turns on its purchase date and the recorded documents, which control.

What Are the Pet Rules at Paloma Grande?

Paloma Grande in Bonita Springs allows up to two household pets per home under its recorded Declaration of Condominium, leashed whenever outside the home, never kept on a patio, balcony or other limited common element, with pet liability insurance that names the condominium association as an additional insured.

The Declaration allows "Not more than two (2) domestic pets (limited to either dogs, cats or other common household pets)", not kept for any commercial purpose, not a nuisance and "not left unattended on balconies or outside the Units". "All pets, including cats, must be leashed at all times when outside the Unit." Owners pick up after their pets. The association may ask for proof of the pet's liability insurance once a year and may require a pet to be removed until the insurance is in place.

The master Declaration adds its own limits for every Paloma home: no more than two dogs or two cats unless the board permits more, and no pit bulls or dangerous dogs. Assistance animals are governed by federal and state fair housing law, which the association applies to a request.

How Is a Paloma Grande Condo Insured?

A Paloma Grande condo in Bonita Springs is insured in two layers: the condominium association insures the 34 buildings at not less than 100 percent of full insurable replacement value under its Declaration and Florida Statutes section 718.111(11), and each owner insures the inside of the home, belongings, liability and loss assessments with a unit-owner policy.

What the Association Insures

Section 14.2 requires the association to insure the buildings and common improvements "in an amount not less than 100% of the full insurable replacement value thereof, if reasonably available, excluding foundation and excavation costs", with liability coverage "of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence", fidelity coverage, and "Flood insurance if required by the Primary Institutional First Mortgagee or if the Association so elects". The board sets the deductibles, and premiums are a common expense.

What the Owner Insures

The association's policy excludes "unit floor, wall or ceiling coverings" and, inside the home, "electrical fixtures, appliances, water heaters, water fillers, countertops, window treatments or built-in cabinets", matching the exclusions in Florida Statutes section 718.111. The Declaration makes each owner insure "all such risks and others not covered by insurance carried by the Association, including risk of special assessment", and the association may ask for proof once a year.

The $2,000 Loss Assessment Floor

Florida Statutes section 627.714 requires a unit owner's residential property policy to "include at least $2,000 in property loss assessment coverage". That coverage helps pay an owner's share when the association assesses owners for a covered loss that exceeds its own insurance, such as a large deductible after a storm.

Flood Insurance and Citizens

Citizens Property Insurance's flood page, read October 12, 2026, says "Condominium unit-owner policies, tenant content policies, and policies that exclude windstorm or hail coverage" are not required to buy flood insurance under its 2027 rule. So a Paloma Grande owner's own Citizens unit-owner policy is not subject to that requirement; whether the association carries a master flood policy on the buildings is a separate question for its insurance records.

When Damage Is Not Clearly the Owner's

The Declaration says that where it is unclear whether damaged property is part of a unit or a common element, "such property shall be presumed to be Common Elements". After a casualty the board arranges prompt repair, and the condominium is left unrebuilt only if 75 percent or more is destroyed and owners holding 80 percent of the common elements and a majority of first mortgagees agree.

The Records to Ask For

The association's current insurance policies are official records that any owner may inspect without stating a reason, under section 718.111(12). Before buying, ask for the master policy's declarations page, its wind and flood deductibles and the replacement-cost appraisal, which the statute requires "at least once every 3 years".

Do Florida's Condo Milestone and SIRS Laws Apply to Paloma Grande?

Florida's structural integrity reserve study and milestone inspection laws reach condominium buildings of three habitable stories or more, and Paloma Grande's 34 buildings in Bonita Springs are two stories, so the thresholds appear not to be met; the condominium's general reserve rules under section 718.112(2)(f) still apply.

The SIRS Threshold

Florida Statutes section 718.112 requires a structural integrity reserve study at least every 10 years for each building "three habitable stories or higher in height" and states, "This paragraph does not apply to buildings less than three stories in height." The Paloma Grande Declaration says "Each Phase will consist of one Building having two stories."

The Milestone Threshold

Florida Statutes section 553.899 applies milestone inspections to condominium buildings "three habitable stories or more" in height. A two-story Paloma Grande building appears outside it; in any case its 30-year mark would fall in 2046 or later.

Reserves Still Matter

Outside the SIRS rule, section 718.112(2)(f) still requires reserves for roof replacement, building painting, pavement resurfacing and items over $25,000, unless a majority of the total voting interests votes to fund less or none. Whether Paloma Grande's owners have funded full reserves or voted to reduce them is a member record; ask for the budget and the reserve schedule.

What a Seller Must Hand Over

Florida Statutes section 718.503(2) requires a seller to give the buyer the declaration, articles, bylaws, rules, the annual financial statement and budget, the frequently asked questions document and the governance form, and to say whether a structural integrity reserve study or milestone report applies. The buyer may cancel within 7 days, excluding weekends and legal holidays, after signing and receiving them, and "ANY PURPORTED WAIVER OF THESE VOIDABILITY RIGHTS SHALL BE OF NO EFFECT".

What Flood Zone Is Paloma Grande In, and How Do Hurricanes Affect It?

Paloma Grande in Bonita Springs sits in two flood zones by building on FEMA's live map: Zone AE at Phases 1 to 20 and shaded Zone X, the 0.2 percent annual chance area, at Phases 21 to 34, on panel 12071C0657G effective November 17, 2022, inside Lee County evacuation zone B.

Data updated: October 2026 (FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer queried at seven Paloma Grande buildings, October 12, 2026; Lee County evacuation layer the same day)

The Flood Zone, Building by Building

We queried FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer at seven Paloma Grande buildings on October 12, 2026. Across all 136 homes the line runs between Phase 20 and Phase 21: the 80 homes in Phases 1 to 20 return Zone AE and the 56 homes in Phases 21 to 34 return shaded Zone X.

The live layer returns no base flood elevation at any of the seven points. A building's phase number is in its legal description, so a buyer can match a home to its group from the deed or the Property Appraiser's record.

The 2018 FEMA Letter for Phases 1 to 20

FEMA issued a Letter of Map Revision Based on Fill, case 18-04-2458A, on March 2, 2018, removing Paloma Grande Phases 1 through 20 from the special flood hazard area to shaded Zone X, stating a lowest lot elevation of 12.5 feet NAVD88. It was issued against the earlier 2008 panel 12071C0657F. The live layer still shows Zone AE for those buildings, and whether FEMA carried the letter onto the 2022 map was not found. So the 2022 map and the 2018 letter disagree for Phases 1 to 20; the lender's flood zone determination and an elevation certificate decide whether flood insurance is required.

Ground Height

USGS elevation data at the building parcels put the ground at 13.48 to 14.23 feet for Phases 1 to 20 and 13.40 to 14.17 feet for Phases 21 to 34, against base flood elevations of about 12 to 12.5 feet near Paloma. That is ground, not the floor of any home; no elevation certificate for a Paloma Grande building was found in the public record.

Evacuation Zone and Wind

Lee County's evacuation layer places Paloma Grande in evacuation zone B and storm-surge zone 2 at both ends of the condominium, so the county's Zone B guidance applies when Zone B is ordered out. The Property Appraiser's hazard layers return a 160 mph design wind speed for Risk Category II buildings and place the site in the wind-borne debris region.

Storm History

Hurricane Ian made landfall in Southwest Florida on September 28, 2022, according to the National Hurricane Center. No Paloma Grande storm damage claim, flood claim or post-storm special assessment appears in the public records we read; the association's minutes and insurance records, which are member records, would show any. USGS high-water marks for Ian within about 1.4 to 2.8 kilometers of Paloma were 8.7 to 9.0 feet, below Paloma's ground.

The City's Flood Program

The City of Bonita Springs takes part in FEMA's Community Rating System at class 5, a 25 percent discount on National Flood Insurance Program premiums for policies in the special flood hazard area, and the City says elevation certificates are available from its Community Development office.

Hospitals and Insurance Networks

Lee Health's notice says its hospitals and physicians leave the UnitedHealthcare network on January 1, 2027 for employer-based, individual and Medicare Advantage plans, and that the change "will not affect your Medicare Supplement coverage". Emergency care is billed regardless of network. Check a plan's network before choosing a hospital.

What Are the Daily Logistics at Paloma Grande?

Daily logistics at Paloma Grande in Bonita Springs: water and sewer from Bonita Springs Utilities, electricity from Florida Power and Light, multi-family trash service arranged by the condominium's managers, a gated entry run by the master association, Lee County fire and rescue from the Bonita Springs Fire Control and Rescue District, and I-75 along the east edge.

Utilities and Trash

Paloma is inside Bonita Springs Utilities' water and sewer franchise and Florida Power and Light's service area. Single-family homes in Paloma have county curbside service; Paloma Grande, a condominium, uses multi-family service arranged by its managers, and its hauler and containers are not published.

The Gate and Visitors

Paloma is gated. The master association's leasing rules require tenants to register for vehicle access, and the master's Rules govern guests, amenity use and parking. Tenants and owners share the road rules, including a 20 mph speed limit.

Parking

Each Paloma Grande home has one garage space and, at most homes, two driveway spaces; the master's roster counts the spaces for each address and warns that larger vehicles "may reduce the number of vehicles that may be parked on a driveway without extending into the street". Boats, trailers and recreational vehicles stay in a garage.

I-75 Next Door

Lee County's road layer puts the east edge of Paloma Grande within about a tenth of a mile of I-75. FDOT's draft five-year work program lists the I-75 segment from Bonita Beach Road to Corkscrew Road for added lanes in fiscal 2030 and 2031; noise wall information is "to be provided later" on FDOT's study page. Buyers sensitive to road sound should visit the Monte Carlo Boulevard buildings at different hours.

All figures are Lee County DOR-qualified recorded sales measured the same way; windows are named where they differ. San Mirage converted rental apartments to condominium ownership in 2005 and has seven three-story buildings; Chesapeake Cove is one of Hawthorne's two condominiums, next door in the same planned development as Paloma.

What the Benchmark Shows

Per square foot of county heated area, Paloma Grande ($228.46) sits close to San Mirage ($235.30) and above Chesapeake Cove ($212.90 over 24 months), while its homes are smaller than Chesapeake Cove's. Paloma Grande sells at about half the median of Paloma's own single-family homes while sharing the same gate, pool and clubhouse.

Garage Parking as the Difference

We built this comparison as McGreevy and Comisar, Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, from the same county record for every community in the table. Every Paloma Grande home has a garage inside the unit, which the Declaration bars from becoming living space. That is the main product difference from many older Bonita Springs condominiums with open or carport parking; confirm each comparison community's parking in its own declaration.

Which Fits Which Buyer's Priorities

Paloma Grande fits a buyer whose priorities are the newest construction in this pair, a lower entry price, a garage inside every home and a single-level home on either floor. Chesapeake Cove fits priorities of more square footage and more three-bedroom space for the money per square foot, accepting homes about ten years older. Both share the Tesone planned development, Imperial Parkway and the same school zones; compare the two declarations' leasing and insurance sections side by side before choosing.

What We Would Check in Each

In Paloma Grande: the building's phase (flood group), the floor, both associations' estoppel figures and the master's lease rules. In Chesapeake Cove: the building's flood zone, its association's insurance and reserves, and the Hawthorne master assessment. Read more about Hawthorne and its condominiums on our Hawthorne page.

What Does It Cost to Sell a Paloma Grande Condo?

Selling a Paloma Grande condo in Bonita Springs at the $325,000 median carries two statutory lines a Lee County seller customarily pays, documentary stamps of $2,275.00 and an owner's title policy of about $1,700.00 at the promulgated rate, plus brokerage, the estoppel fees and the condominium resale documents; the contract controls who pays what.

What Are the Pros and Cons of Owning in Paloma Grande?

Owning in Paloma Grande in Bonita Springs brings newer two-story construction from 2016 to 2019, a garage in every home and Paloma's clubhouse and pool at about half the price of Paloma's houses, against two associations' assessments, an unpublished condominium budget, master leasing limits and a split flood map.

Pros

  • Newer buildings. Built 2016 to 2019, with original roofs about 7 to 10 years old in 2026.

  • A garage in every home. One garage space inside the unit plus driveway parking at most homes.

  • Two plans, clear comparables. Sixty-eight identical plans on each floor make pricing a home against its neighbors straightforward.

  • Shared resort amenities. The master's clubhouse, resort pool, fitness center, tennis and bocce, behind a gate.

  • Outside the SIRS threshold. Two-story buildings appear outside the structural integrity reserve study and milestone inspection thresholds.

  • Close to I-75 and Bonita Beach Road. About 8 to 10 minutes to Exit 116.

Cons

  • Two associations, two assessments. The master's $640.74 a quarter plus the condominium's own assessment, which is not published.

  • Leasing limits. Three-month minimum, a 15 percent community cap and a first-year rule for buyers after August 20, 2025.

  • Stairs to the second floor. No elevator is recorded.

  • Split flood map. Zone AE on the live layer at Phases 1 to 20 despite a 2018 FEMA letter, shaded Zone X at Phases 21 to 34.

  • Interstate next door. The east edge sits within about a tenth of a mile of I-75.

  • Softer prices since 2022. The 2026 median to date is about 24.2 percent below the 2022 calendar median.

Paloma Grande's Recent Sales, by the Numbers

In the last 12 months we tracked 13 recorded Paloma Grande sales to September 25, 2026, at a $325,000 median, from $170,000 to $355,000, with $4,086,000 in total recorded value. Seven were second-floor homes, from $325,000 to $355,000, and six were first-floor homes, from $170,000 to $325,000. Over 60 months we tracked 53 recorded sales at a $370,000 median. Days on market: a median of 123 days across the 13 MLS closings, from 2 days to 546. Sale-to-list ratio: a median 96.6 percent of the final list price and 91.0 percent of the first list price (Southwest Florida MLS, closings from September 26, 2025 to September 25, 2026, pulled October 17, 2026).

Selling in Paloma Grande Is Different in Five Ways

  1. Two associations, two estoppels. The condominium association and the master each issue a certificate, so we order both the day the contract is signed.

  2. The master's buyer approval. The master's Amended Declaration requires 30 days' notice, a New Buyer Form and a board decision within 30 days, which sets the closing timeline.

  3. The resale document package. Florida law gives a condominium buyer 7 days to cancel after receiving the declaration, budget, financial statement and FAQ document, so we assemble them before the listing goes live.

  4. Sixty-eight identical plans per floor. Buyers compare a listing against identical homes; condition, view, the driveway count and the building's flood group carry the price.

  5. The first-year leasing rule. Investor buyers who closed after August 20, 2025 cannot lease in their first year, which narrows the investor pool and puts the focus on owner-occupants and second-home buyers.

What is my Paloma Grande condo worth today?

Your Paloma Grande condo's value starts from its own floor's recorded sales: seven second-floor sales from $325,000 to $355,000 and six first-floor sales from $170,000 to $325,000 in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. Condition, the building's flood group, the view and the driveway count move it within that range.

How long does a Paloma Grande sale take?

Days on market: the 13 Paloma Grande closings on the Southwest Florida MLS in the 12 months to September 25, 2026 took a median of 123 days, from 2 to 546 (Southwest Florida MLS, closings from September 26, 2025 to September 25, 2026, pulled October 17, 2026). The recorded steps set a floor on the timeline: the master's 30 days' notice and board decision, the estoppel certificates within 10 business days, and the buyer's 7-day review of the condominium documents.

Do I need an association's approval to sell?

The condominium Declaration puts no approval on a sale; the buyer gives the condominium association a copy of the deed within 30 days. The master association's Amended Declaration does require 30 days' notice, a New Buyer Form and a board decision within 30 days, with disapproval only for stated good cause.

Can I sell my Paloma Grande condo with a tenant in it?

Yes, if the lease was approved. A master-approved lease runs 3 to 12 months, and the buyer takes the home subject to it unless the contract and the lease say otherwise. A buyer who bought after August 20, 2025 cannot sign a new lease in the first year.

Should I update my Paloma Grande condo before I sell?

Most Paloma Grande homes are 7 to 10 years old, so buyers compare flooring, paint, appliances and the air conditioning's age. Any hard flooring needs the board's approval and may need soundproofing, and nothing may penetrate the post-tensioned slabs without board consent, so ask us which updates pay before starting any.

Frequently Asked Questions: Paloma Grande Buyer Edition

These Paloma Grande buyer questions are answered from the recorded Declaration of Condominium, the master association's documents and roster, the Lee County roll and recorded sales, FEMA's flood layer and Florida's condominium statutes, as read in October 2026 for this Bonita Springs condominium inside Paloma.

What is Paloma Grande?

Paloma Grande, A Condominium is the condominium section of Paloma in Bonita Springs: 136 homes in 34 two-story buildings of four, built by D.R. Horton from 2016 to 2019 on Palace Lane and Monte Carlo Boulevard, run by Paloma Grande Condominium Association, Inc. and inside the Paloma Community Association master.

How many homes are in Paloma Grande?

There are 136 homes, 68 on the first floor and 68 on the second, in 34 buildings of four. The Declaration allowed later phases of four or five homes, but every building on the roll and on the master association's roster holds four.

What floor plans does Paloma Grande have?

Two. The master association's roster lists the Samone, two bedrooms and two baths, on every first-floor home and the Victoria, three bedrooms and two baths, on every second-floor home, at about 1,280 and 1,532 square feet of county heated area.

What does a Paloma Grande condo cost?

Lee County recorded 13 Paloma Grande sales in the 12 months to September 25, 2026 at a $325,000 median, from $170,000 to $355,000. Second-floor homes sold from $325,000 to $355,000 and first-floor homes from $170,000 to $325,000 in that window.

Does every Paloma Grande home have a garage?

Yes. The Declaration makes the garage part of each unit, and the master's roster counts one garage space per home plus one to three driveway spaces. A garage may not be converted to living space.

What are the HOA fees at Paloma Grande?

The master association's 2026 budget document sets the Carriage Home assessment at $640.74 a quarter, about $2,562.96 a year. The condominium association's own assessment is not published in any document we read; the estoppel certificate states it, and you should have it before you commit.

Is there a CDD at Paloma?

No community development district line appeared on the Paloma tax bill sampled for the hub research, and the 2026 notices for Paloma Grande homes show only the district 017 taxing authorities. Non-ad valorem charges are not listed on those notices, so check the tax bill for any condominium-specific line.

What are the property taxes on a Paloma Grande condo?

Paloma Grande is in tax district 017 at a 2025 total of 12.7970 mills. One second-floor home's 2026 notice proposes $3,701.78 on a $288,712 market value without exemptions; a homesteaded first-floor home's proposes $2,029.06. Your bill depends on your taxable value and exemptions.

Can I rent out a Paloma Grande condo?

Yes, within limits. The Declaration allows whole-home written leases of at least 30 days and no more than four a year; the master's rules require three to twelve months, cap leases at 15 percent of Paloma's homes and bar leasing in the first year for homes bought after August 20, 2025.

Can I use Paloma Grande as a short-term vacation rental?

No. The master's minimum lease is three months and the Declaration's is 30 days, so nightly or weekly rentals are not allowed, and month-to-month leases and subletting are barred by the master's rules.

How many pets can I have in Paloma Grande?

Up to two household pets under the Declaration, leashed outside the home, never kept on a patio or balcony, with pet liability insurance naming the condominium association. The master Declaration also bars pit bulls and dangerous dogs.

Is Paloma Grande age-restricted?

No. The recorded Declaration of Condominium and the master documents contain no age restriction.

What amenities do Paloma Grande owners use?

Paloma's master amenity center: a clubhouse, resort pool, fitness center, two tennis courts and a bocce court, behind the community gate. Paloma Grande has no pool or clubhouse of its own.

Who insures the Paloma Grande buildings?

The condominium association insures the buildings at not less than 100 percent of full insurable replacement value, with liability of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence. Owners insure the interior items the association excludes, their belongings and liability, with at least $2,000 of loss assessment coverage under Florida law.

Do I need flood insurance in Paloma Grande?

It depends on the building and the lender. FEMA's live layer shows Zone AE at Phases 1 to 20, where a federally backed mortgage generally requires flood coverage, and shaded Zone X at Phases 21 to 34. A 2018 FEMA letter removed Phases 1 to 20 on the earlier map, so get the lender's flood determination and an elevation certificate.

Does the Citizens flood rule apply to a Paloma Grande condo?

Citizens' flood page says condominium unit-owner policies are not required to buy flood insurance under its rule that phases in through January 1, 2027. The association's own coverage of the buildings is a separate question for its insurance records.

Does Paloma Grande need a structural integrity reserve study?

Florida's SIRS and milestone laws reach buildings of three habitable stories or more. Paloma Grande's buildings are two stories, so the thresholds appear not to be met; the general reserve rules for roofs, painting and paving still apply unless the owners vote otherwise.

What documents should I get before buying a Paloma Grande condo?

Under Florida Statutes section 718.503(2) the seller provides the declaration, articles, bylaws, rules, the annual financial statement and budget, the frequently asked questions document and the governance form. Ask also for both associations' estoppel certificates, the master policy's declarations page and the master's leasing rules.

Can I cancel after I get the condominium documents?

Yes. A resale buyer may cancel within 7 days, excluding weekends and legal holidays, after signing the contract and receiving the required documents, and any waiver of that right has no effect under section 718.503.

Does the master association approve buyers?

Yes. The master's 2025 Amended Declaration requires 30 days' notice, a New Buyer Form, a possible credit and criminal background check and interview, and a board decision within 30 days, with disapproval only for stated good cause.

What does a buyer pay at closing beyond the price?

The Declaration requires the buyer to pay the condominium association a $100 working capital contribution. The master's 2022 amendment sets a $1,000 capital contribution on each resale, which the master's 2025 amended declaration also puts on the buyer. Title, lender and recording charges follow the contract.

Which schools serve Paloma Grande?

The district's locator places Paloma Grande in elementary zone Q, middle zone GG and high school South Zone sub-zone 3. Bonita Springs High School is about 3 to 5 minutes away. Confirm by address before relying on a school.

Which flood zone is my building in?

Match the building's phase number in its legal description: Phases 1 to 20 return Zone AE and Phases 21 to 34 return shaded Zone X on FEMA's live layer, on panel 12071C0657G effective November 17, 2022.

How close is Paloma Grande to the beach?

Bonita Beach Park is about 14 to 16 minutes by car. Its lot and amenities have been closed since September 8, 2026 for Ian repairs; the Beach Access #1 lot closes November 1, 2026, and Accesses #2 to #9 are free to park. Little Hickory Island Beach Park's lot and amenities have been closed since September 8, 2026 too, with pedestrian access open.

Can I install hurricane shutters or impact windows?

Yes, to the board's specifications. The Declaration allows only shutters meeting the specifications the board adopts, none across entries, and no shutters at all where laminated impact glass is installed.

Can I put tile or wood floors in a second-floor home?

Only with the board's written approval, which may require soundproofing underlayment; tile is never allowed on balconies, and the Declaration warns that sound moves between homes.

Frequently Asked Questions: Paloma Grande Seller Edition

These Paloma Grande seller questions are answered from Lee County's recorded sales, the recorded Declaration of Condominium, the master association's documents and Florida's condominium statutes, as read in October 2026, for owners selling a condominium home inside Paloma in Bonita Springs.

What is my Paloma Grande condo worth?

Start from your floor's recorded sales. In the 12 months to September 25, 2026, second-floor homes sold from $325,000 to $355,000 and first-floor homes from $170,000 to $325,000, inside a $325,000 median for all 13 sales. A free Paloma Grande home valuation prices your home from those sales.

How many Paloma Grande condos sold in the last year?

Lee County recorded 13 Paloma Grande sales in the 12 months to September 25, 2026, all resales, about 9.6 percent of the 136 homes.

Do second-floor homes sell for more than first-floor homes?

In total price, yes: over 24 months second-floor homes recorded a $355,000 median against $322,500 for first-floor homes. Per square foot of county heated area the first floor recorded more, $252.15 against $231.72, because the first-floor homes are smaller.

What is the price per square foot in Paloma Grande?

The 12-month median is $228.46 per square foot of county heated area, which leaves out the garage. Listings may quote a different area, so compare like with like.

How have Paloma Grande prices changed since 2022?

The 2022 calendar median was $428,750 on 14 sales; the 2026 median to September 25 is $325,000 on 11 sales, about 24.2 percent lower. These are calendar comparisons of recorded sales, not a forecast.

Does my building's flood zone affect my price?

The recorded sales show no clear split so far: over 24 months the Zone AE buildings (Phases 1 to 20) recorded a $345,000 median and the shaded Zone X buildings (Phases 21 to 34) $330,000, with different floor mixes. Buyers will still ask, so we gather the flood records first.

Should I order an elevation certificate before listing?

For a home in Phases 1 to 20 it helps. The live map shows Zone AE while a 2018 FEMA letter removed those buildings on the earlier map, and an elevation certificate gives a buyer's lender and insurer the building's actual height.

What does it cost to sell a Paloma Grande condo?

At the $325,000 median, documentary stamps are $2,275.00 and the owner's title policy about $1,700.00, both customarily paid by a Lee County seller. Add brokerage, the estoppel fees and the condominium resale documents; the contract controls.

How much are the estoppel fees?

Florida's statutes set a $250 base fee, plus $100 if expedited within 3 business days and up to $150 if the account is delinquent; DBPR's published adjustment sets the current caps at $299, $119 and $179. A Paloma Grande sale needs one certificate from each association, and an association's actual fee may be lower.

How do I order the estoppel certificates?

Request them in writing from each association's manager; Resort Management, the condominium association's registered agent, routes purchase documents and estoppels through its online document portal. Each certificate is due within 10 business days and is good for 30 days.

Who pays the $1,000 capital contribution?

The buyer. The master's Fourth Amendment of 2022 says each purchaser pays the master association $1,000 at closing, and Article VI of the master's 2025 Amended Declaration keeps it on the transferee, with stated exceptions such as a foreclosing institutional first mortgagee or a transfer into an estate-planning trust.

Who pays the $100 working capital contribution?

The buyer. The Declaration says "the Unit purchaser shall pay to the Association the sum of $100.00 as a working capital contribution" on every conveyance.

What documents must I give a Paloma Grande buyer?

Section 718.503(2) requires the declaration, articles, bylaws, rules, the annual financial statement and budget, the frequently asked questions document, the governance form and a statement on whether a SIRS or milestone report applies. We assemble them before the listing goes live so the buyer's 7-day review starts on day one.

Does the condominium association have to approve my buyer?

No. The condominium Declaration puts no approval on a sale; the buyer sends the association a copy of the deed within 30 days. The master association does review buyers.

What does the master association require when I sell?

Thirty days' notice to the master's board, a New Buyer Form from the buyer, a possible credit and criminal background check and interview, and a board decision within 30 days, under the master's 2025 Amended Declaration.

How long does a Paloma Grande sale take?

Days on market: a median of 123 days across the 13 Paloma Grande MLS closings in the 12 months to September 25, 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS, closings from September 26, 2025 to September 25, 2026, pulled October 17, 2026). Plan for at least the master's 30-day notice period, the estoppel certificates' 10 business days and the buyer's 7-day document review.

Can I sell my Paloma Grande condo with a tenant in place?

Yes, if the lease was approved under the master's rules. The buyer takes the home subject to the lease unless the contract and lease say otherwise, and a buyer who closes after August 20, 2025 cannot sign a new lease in the first year.

Will the first-year leasing rule affect my buyer pool?

It can. A buyer who closed after August 20, 2025 cannot lease the home in the first year, so a buyer who needs rental income from day one will look elsewhere; we market to buyers who plan to live in the home or use it as a second home.

Can I put a For Sale sign on my Paloma Grande condo?

The Declaration bars signs on the building's exterior doors, walls and windows without the board's standards, and the master's 2023 amendment allows one 18 by 24 inch for-sale sign in a window or landscape bed for Paloma homes. Ask the board how that applies to a condominium window before placing one.

Should I update my Paloma Grande condo before selling?

Paint, lighting and fixtures that need no board approval often pay. Hard flooring needs the board's written approval and possibly soundproofing, and nothing may penetrate the post-tensioned slabs without board consent, so plan larger work early or price the home as it is.

Do I need my association's approval for repairs before closing?

Any structural change or change visible from outside needs the board's written consent, which it must answer within 45 days. Interior repairs inside the owner's maintenance list do not, unless they touch the slabs, the structure or the building systems.

What if my HOA account is behind?

The estoppel certificate shows any delinquency, and the buyer is jointly liable with the seller for unpaid assessments, so the amount is paid from your proceeds at closing. The Declaration adds a late fee and 18 percent interest after 30 days.

Is there a special assessment I must disclose?

No Paloma Grande special assessment appears in the public records we read. The estoppel certificates state any assessment levied or pending, and you disclose what you know.

Does the SIRS law affect my sale?

Paloma Grande's buildings are two stories, below the three-story threshold for a structural integrity reserve study and a milestone inspection. Your resale documents should say so, and the buyer still sees the budget and reserve schedule.

Who insures the building if a buyer's inspector finds roof damage?

The roof is a common element that the condominium association maintains and insures, so a roof issue goes to the association's board and manager; your own policy covers the interior items the association excludes.

How do I price a first-floor home?

Against the other first-floor homes: over 24 months they recorded 13 sales at a $322,500 median, and the six of the last 12 months ran from $285,000 to $325,000 apart from one $170,000 sale whose terms we could not verify.

How do I price a second-floor home?

Against the other second-floor homes: seven sold in the last 12 months from $325,000 to $355,000, and over 24 months 12 sold at a $355,000 median.

Does my street matter, Palace Lane or Monte Carlo Boulevard?

Palace Lane recorded 11 of the 13 sales in the 12 months at a $325,000 median; Monte Carlo Boulevard recorded two, at $335,500 and $352,500. Floor, condition and the building's flood group explain more of the spread than the street.

What sold highest in the last year?

Two second-floor homes on Palace Lane recorded $355,000, in November 2025 and April 2026, the high of the 12 months to September 25, 2026.

Do I owe property tax prorations at closing?

Yes. Lee County taxes are paid in arrears and prorated at closing under the contract, and Florida law requires the seller to give the buyer the property tax disclosure summary, because the buyer's taxes may change after the sale.

Do I need a Florida disclosure summary for the master HOA?

Condominium sales use the condominium resale rules in Chapter 718 rather than the Chapter 720 disclosure summary, but the master's documents and estoppel still go to the buyer as part of the package.
