The Forest Ridge Shores association

Forest Ridge Shores at Fountain Lakes (Sunbiz N99000000782) is its own association under the Fountain Lakes master, with its own assessment and approvals. Its name is close to Forest Ridge's, a separate older neighborhood with its own association, and the two are never combined in our numbers.

What does it cost to own in Forest Ridge Shores?

The yearly cost of a Forest Ridge Shores home is the Forest Ridge Shores association's assessment, which includes the Fountain Lakes master share, the irrigation co-op and the property tax. The master's 2026 share and the irrigation charge are published, so they are below; the Forest Ridge Shores association does not publish its total on a public page, so the total below is the figure listing agents entered on the MLS. Data updated: October 2026.

Cost	Amount	Source
Master assessment, 2026	$370 a quarter ($1,480 a year), inside the neighborhood assessment	2026 sales packets
Irrigation Co-op	$32 a month, billed $96 a quarter	Irrigation Co-op page
Lease application	$100	2025 recorded rules
Forest Ridge Shores association assessment, including the master share	$450 a quarter, as entered on MLS listings	Southwest Florida MLS (Matrix) listing data, pulled Oct 22, 2026

Closing costs

The master association collects a capital contribution at closing, and each neighborhood issues its own estoppel; confirm both on the Forest Ridge Shores 2026 sales packet. There are no club dues and we found no community development district.

Property taxes

Fountain Lakes is inside the Village of Estero, so the bill carries the Village's 0.73 mills for 2026-27 and the school district's 5.271 mills, plus Lee County and the Estero fire district.

What to ask for before an offer

Ask for the Forest Ridge Shores 2026 sales packet, budget and last two statements, the master estoppel, the irrigation co-op account and the elevation certificate.
