The 12 months before that recorded 16 sales at $176,000, so the median moved down 31.8 percent. Data updated: October 2026.

We tracked every qualified Venetian Palms sale on the Lee County file to build the tables below. Sales figures on this page come from the county's 327-parcel sale file for Venetian Palms; the parcel layer counts 328 units, and the one-unit gap comes from five unit records that carry a placeholder site address.

Lee County recorded sales	Sales	Median	Low	High	Median $ per heated sq ft
12 months, all homes (all condominium)	15	$120,000	$100,000	$174,000	$165

Source: Lee County Property Appraiser sale and parcel files, DOR-qualified improved sales over $1,000, index built October 28, 2026; the 12 months run September 26, 2025 to September 25, 2026 and the prior 12 months September 26, 2024 to September 25, 2025. The newest recorded Venetian Palms sale in the file is August 10, 2026. There were no builder-direct sales in either window: every sale was a condominium resale. The number of sales moved from 16 to 15.

The Venetian Palms price trend by year

The county record shows a long climb from 2015 to a peak in 2023 and 2024, then two years of lower medians. Every year in the series is condominium resale: the county file shows no builder-direct sale in any year from 2015 to 2026.

Year	Sales	Median	Median $ per heated sq ft
2015	34	$81,750	$101
2016	26	$103,500	$106
2017	21	$112,000	$111

2025	13	$152,000	$165
2026 (to date)	13	$120,000	$165

Source: Lee County Property Appraiser sale files by calendar year, DOR-qualified sales, index built October 28, 2026. The 2024 median of $190,000 is the high point of the series and the 2015 median of $81,750 the low; 2021 had the most sales (37) and 2025 and 2026 to date the fewest (13 each). The $ per square foot peak was $251 in 2023.

What the county record shows about the decline

The county record shows the median falling from $190,000 in 2024 to $152,000 in 2025 and $120,000 in the 2026 year to date, but it cannot show why. A deed record carries a price and a date, not a reason, so we do not attribute the change to any cause. The mix of floor plans sold in a given year also moves the median, which the floor plan section below breaks out.

Price bands in the last 12 months

All 15 recorded sales closed under $300,000. Seven closed under $120,000, five between $120,000 and $149,999, and three between $150,000 and $174,000. Band counts are our tally of the 15 sales listed in the county file. The three sales at $170,000 and above were all two-bedroom units of 1,033 heated square feet.

Price per square foot in Venetian Palms

County dollars per square foot on this page use heated (living) area from the Lee County roll, not total area under roof. On that basis the 12-month median was $165 per square foot, against $171 in the prior 12 months and $168 across 24 months. The calendar-year peak was $251 in 2023, and the 2026 year to date sits at $165.

Venetian Palms sales by month

Lee County recorded sales in eight of the 12 months in the window: one each in November 2025, December 2025, February 2026, June 2026 and August 2026, two in March 2026, and four each in May and July 2026. Months with one to four deeds are a handful of sales, not a trend, so we show the counts only as context.

What the county record cannot show

The county file records the price and the date a deed was recorded. It does not record the asking price, how long the unit was listed, how many units are for sale today, or whether a sale included furniture. Those are MLS or closing fields, and the MLS ones are being added in our next data refresh; the listing links above show current inventory now.

Venetian Palms floor plans and buildings compared

Venetian Palms has four floor plans on the county roll, from a 623 square foot one-bedroom to a 1,154 square foot three-bedroom, in two-story buildings of 6 to 16 units on 28 street addresses. Floor plan decides most of the price: two-bedroom units recorded the highest 12-month median. Data updated: October 2026.

Floor plan (Lee County parcel layer)	Units	Median just value, 2026 roll	12-month sales	12-month median	Range	Median $ per heated sq ft
1 bed / 1 bath, 623 sq ft	104	$110,024	6	$114,750	$100,000 to $132,000	$184
1 bed / 1 bath, 727 sq ft	32	$97,997	2	$111,255	$105,000 to $117,510	$153

3 bed / 2 bath, 1,154 sq ft	40	$128,795	0	none recorded

Source: Lee County parcel layer queried October 28, 2026 for units and just values; 12-month sales grouped by heated area from the county's list of the 15 qualified sales (our tally). A median of two sales is a range, not a price.

The 623 square foot one-bedroom

The 623 square foot one-bedroom, one-bath plan is the most common one-bedroom at Venetian Palms, with 104 units. It recorded six sales in the 12-month window at a $114,750 median, from $100,000 at 12630 Equestrian Cir 1806 to $132,000 at 12530 Equestrian Cir 411. Its $184 median per heated square foot is the highest of the four plans, because the unit is the smallest.

The 727 square foot one-bedroom

The 727 square foot one-bedroom, one-bath plan has 32 units. Only two sold in the 12-month window: $105,000 at 12571 Equestrian Cir 902 on June 30, 2026 and $117,510 at 12540 Equestrian Cir 516 on March 11, 2026. Its 2026 median just value on the county roll is $97,997, the lowest of the four plans.

The 1,033 square foot two-bedroom

The 1,033 square foot two-bedroom, two-bath plan is the largest group at Venetian Palms, with 152 units, and it recorded seven of the 15 sales in the 12-month window at a $137,500 median. All five of the highest 12-month sales were this plan, topped by $174,000 at 12580 Equestrian Cir 1507, and the highest sale in the whole county file, $285,000 in October 2023, was also a two-bedroom.

The 1,154 square foot three-bedroom

The 1,154 square foot three-bedroom, two-bath plan has 40 units, the largest floor area at Venetian Palms. No three-bedroom unit recorded a qualified sale in the 12-month window, so there is no recent county price for this plan. Its 2026 median just value on the county roll is $128,795.

Bedrooms and heated area on the county roll

The county's 327-parcel sale file lists 135 one-bedroom, 152 two-bedroom and 40 three-bedroom units, with heated area from 623 to 1,154 square feet and a median of 1,033. The parcel layer's 328-unit count adds one one-bedroom unit (136). Every unit is a condominium, use code 04, with a lake land view on the county roll.

Buildings and street addresses

The parcel layer places the 328 units at 28 street numbers on Equestrian Circle, from 12500 to 12750. Most addresses hold 8 or 16 units: for example 12520, 12530, 12560 and 12640 hold 16 each, while 12650 through 12740 hold 8 each and 12750 holds 6. Five units carry a placeholder site address on the county layer. The association's registered address, 12510 Equestrian Circle, is the common parcel.

Source: Lee County parcel layer, October 28, 2026. The listed addresses total 323 units; five more carry a placeholder address, for 328.

The common parcel and the clubhouse

The common-element parcel, folio 10519194, is 32.53 acres on the county layer and is owned by the association. It holds the clubhouse, the pools and the amenity buildings, with 5,699 heated square feet of building area on one building record. The county roll shows no garages at Venetian Palms; the association's rules refer to numbered carport spaces.

Ownership mix on the 2026 roll

On the 2026 roll, 170 of 327 owner mailing addresses are in Florida, 36 in Ontario, 17 in Massachusetts, 11 in New York, 10 in Ohio, 9 in Michigan and 8 in Kentucky, a signal of seasonal ownership rather than residency. Thirty-six of the 328 unit parcels list an entity-type owner such as an LLC. The roll's median just value is $137,164 and median taxable value $117,175.

Who runs Venetian Palms?

Venetian Palms is run by one Florida not-for-profit corporation, Venetian Palms of Ft. Myers Condominium Association, Inc. (Sunbiz document N05000011220, filed November 2, 2005, active), at 12510 Equestrian Circle, Fort Myers, FL 33907. No master association, sub-association or community development district was found in the records we read.

The association record on Sunbiz

The Sunbiz record shows the filing date (November 2, 2005), active status, a principal address at 12510 Equestrian Circle since April 22, 2009, and annual reports filed February 14, 2024, February 26, 2025 and March 16, 2026. The 2026 report lists five board seats. We do not print the names of officers or agents.

The recorded declaration

The Lee County legal description for every Venetian Palms unit reads "VENETIAN PALMS DESC IN INST#2006-27321," the recorded declaration of condominium. The Florida Division of Condominiums project file, as summarized in a public condominium registry, dates the declaration January 19, 2006, under project number PR72759. We did not read the declaration itself; the Lee County Clerk's official records hold it and any amendments.

Name traps: other Venetian communities

Several other Lee County communities carry a Venetian name and are not Venetian Palms. Venetian I and Venetian II are condominium buildings on Venetian Lagoon Drive inside Esplanade Lake Club, ZIP 33913, about 8.2 miles away. Venetian Pointe is a separate community in ZIP 33908, about 2.9 miles away. Venetian Village (33919) and Venetian Gardens on Fort Myers Beach (33931) are also separate. A Miami-area association with a near-identical name is unrelated.

What Florida law says the association must publish

Florida Statutes section 718.111(12) requires condominium associations of 25 or more units to post the recorded declaration, bylaws, rules, budget and other official records on a website or app, and lets owners request official records, which must be made available within 10 working days. The association's resident portal is behind a login, so a buyer should ask for these documents during the contract period.

Resale documents and the estoppel certificate

Resale and lender documents, including the estoppel certificate, are requested through the association's resale-document portal. Florida Statutes section 718.116(8) caps the estoppel fee at $250, plus $100 if expedited and up to $150 more if the unit is delinquent, and requires the certificate within 10 business days. The certificate states the current dues and any balance owed on the unit.

What does it cost to own a Venetian Palms condo?

Venetian Palms ownership costs stack in two main layers: the association's monthly dues, which rise with unit size, and Lee County property tax in taxing district 047. No community development district or golf membership applies. We print only figures with a dated source and label the MLS-reported ones. Data updated: October 2026.

Cost layer	Amount	Period and source
Association dues, 623 sq ft one-bedroom	$353 a month ($4,236 a year)	2026 MLS listing data, listed February 26, 2026
Association dues, 1,033 sq ft two-bedroom	$510 a month	2026 MLS listing data, listed September 10, 2026
Special assessment	0.00 on one listing; none found in public sources	2026 MLS listing data, February 26, 2026

Property tax, district 047	13.3623 mills	Lee County 2026 millage rates, ACTUAL column
Community development district	none found	Lee County 2026 millage rates; county parcel layer

Association dues from 2026 MLS listing data

The association does not publish its budget on a public page. 2026 MLS listing data shows $353 a month ($4,236 a year) on a 623 square foot one-bedroom listed February 26, 2026 and $510 a month on a 1,033 square foot two-bedroom listed September 10, 2026. Dues follow each unit's share of common expenses under the declaration, so confirm the exact figure for any unit on its estoppel certificate.

What the dues include

Inclusion lists on 2026 MLS listing data name water, sewer, trash, grounds care, pest control, recreation facilities, reserves, street lights and irrigation water, and one listing adds cable TV and internet. Several listings also name building insurance. Those are listing statements, not an association budget, so read the current budget and the estoppel certificate for the exact list.

Special assessments

One 2026 MLS listing shows a special assessment field of 0.00 (February 26, 2026), and we found no notice or news item announcing a special assessment for 2024 to 2026. That is a search result, not a guarantee. Ask for the estoppel certificate and the last two sets of board minutes, which show any assessment adopted or proposed.

No CDD and no club fees

No community development district line appears in the 2026 millage rates for district 047, and no CDD, dependent district or special taxing unit is named for Venetian Palms in the records we read. There is no golf course or club membership at Venetian Palms: the pools, clubhouse, fitness center and courts are association property covered by the dues.

Property taxes in taxing district 047

Every Venetian Palms unit is in Lee County taxing district 047, South Trail Fire, in unincorporated Lee County, so there is no city millage. The 2026 adopted total is 13.3623 mills, down from 13.4125 in 2025, a drop of 0.0502 mill (our subtraction). Each $100,000 of taxable value costs $1,336.23 at that rate.

Taxing authority, district 047	2026 mills (adopted)
Lee County general revenue	3.7623
School, local board	2.2480
School, state law	3.0230
South Trail Fire District	2.5000
Lee County unincorporated MSTU	0.8398

SFWMD Okeechobee Basin	0.1026
All hazards protection district	0.0693
West Coast Inland Navigation District	0.0394
SFWMD Everglades Construction Project	0.0327
Hyacinth control district	0.0190
Total	13.3623

Why the City of Fort Myers rate does not apply

The City of Fort Myers is taxing district 090, with a 2026 adopted total of 16.9702 mills that includes 6.9000 mills for the City. Venetian Palms has a Fort Myers mailing address but sits in district 047, so the City's millage and city services do not apply. The difference between the two totals is 3.6079 mills (our subtraction).

A worked yearly cost example (illustrative)

Take the 2026 roll's median just values by plan as a stand-in for taxable value, which is how a non-homestead unit with no exemption would be taxed. A 623 square foot one-bedroom at $110,024 pays about $1,470.17 at 13.3623 mills; with $353 a month in dues ($4,236 a year) the yearly total is $5,706.17. A 1,033 square foot two-bedroom at $137,652 pays about $1,839.35; with $510 a month ($6,120 a year) the total is $7,959.35. This is an illustration, not a quote.

Line	623 sq ft one-bedroom	1,033 sq ft two-bedroom
Property tax (median just value x 13.3623 / 1,000)	$1,470.17	$1,839.35
Association dues, 2026 MLS listing data (monthly x 12)	$4,236.00	$6,120.00
Illustrative yearly total	$5,706.17	$7,959.35

The example leaves out non-ad valorem lines on the tax bill, an HO-6 policy, flood insurance where it applies, utilities not in the dues and any exemption. At the roll's median taxable value of $117,175, the same rate gives about $1,565.73. Run the figures with the exact unit's tax bill and estoppel certificate.

Ad valorem by floor plan

Floor plan	Units	Median just value, 2026	Ad valorem at 13.3623 mills	Per month
1 bed / 1 bath, 623 sq ft	104	$110,024	about $1,470	about $122.51
1 bed / 1 bath, 727 sq ft	32	$97,997	about $1,309	about $109.12
2 bed / 2 bath, 1,033 sq ft	152	$137,652	about $1,839	about $153.28
3 bed / 2 bath, 1,154 sq ft	40	$128,795	about $1,721	about $143.42

Source: Lee County parcel layer just values, October 28, 2026, times the district 047 adopted rate; our arithmetic. These are not 2026 tax bills: TRIM values, exemptions and non-ad valorem lines are excluded.

Solid waste and other bill lines

The county parcel layer places Venetian Palms in solid waste Area 3, and Lee County levies a residential solid waste special assessment by service area under Ordinance 11-27. The Area 3 dollar amount was not available in the pages we could read, so we do not print it. A unit's TRIM notice or tax bill shows every non-ad valorem line.

Homestead, the 10 percent cap and Amendment 3

A unit used as a permanent residence can qualify for the homestead exemption and the Save Our Homes assessment limit under Florida Statutes sections 196.031 and 193.155. Units held as second homes or rentals are non-homestead and fall under the 10 percent annual assessment limit in section 193.1554. Florida Amendment 3, on the November 3, 2026 general election ballot, would change the homestead exemption and lower that non-homestead cap to 5 percent if approved, per the Florida Department of State's initiative page and published summaries.

Do Florida's condo safety laws apply to Venetian Palms?

Venetian Palms buildings show a maximum of two stories on the Lee County parcel layer, and Florida's milestone inspection (section 553.899) and structural integrity reserve study (section 718.112(2)(g)) rules apply to condominium buildings of three or more habitable stories. Buyers should confirm with the association whether any building is subject. Data updated: October 2026.

What the two statutes require

Section 553.899 requires a milestone structural inspection of condominium buildings three habitable stories or higher once they reach a set age, then every 10 years. Section 718.112(2)(g) requires a structural integrity reserve study for the same class of building. Both rules turn on the three-story threshold.

What the county record shows about stories

The county parcel layer lists two stories for every Venetian Palms unit parcel and one for the common parcel, and the association's rules mention stairwells and approval for second-level floor alterations, which fits two-story walk-up buildings. Floors were not counted from permit drawings, so we state only what the county shows. Ask the association in writing whether any building is subject to either statute.

What to request for the unit you want

Ask for the current budget and reserve schedule, the last year of board minutes, the estoppel certificate, the insurance certificate for the master policy, and any engineering or roof report the association holds. Listing remarks mention a tile roof replacement around 2019 to 2021, but no permit or board record we read confirms a date, so treat roof age as a question for the association.

Can you lease a Venetian Palms condo?

Venetian Palms condos can be leased with board approval. The association's Rules and Regulations, revised January 13, 2021, set a minimum lease of one calendar month or 30 days, require written board approval before any tenant moves in, and require a background check for each adult. No annual cap on the number of leases appears in the published rules.

Lease terms and the tenant form

The tenant approval and registration form sets a $75 non-refundable background check fee per adult, valid for three consecutive years. A tenant cannot move in until approved in writing. Guests staying 30 days or more are treated as tenants under the rules. The 30-day minimum means hotel-style nightly or weekly rentals are not allowed.

Occupancy and vehicles

The rules allow two persons per bedroom, not counting one child under 24 months, and two registered vehicles per unit with an association permit. Overnight guests use a temporary permit. Commercial vehicles, trailers and boats may not stay overnight, and no vehicle over 7 feet tall or 10,000 pounds is allowed. Parking is in numbered carport spaces.

Pets at Venetian Palms

The rules allow two pets per unit, registered with and approved by the board. Pit bulls and breeds the board deems dangerous are prohibited. Leashes may be no longer than 8 feet, retractable leashes are not allowed, and pets are barred from lanais and the amenity areas. These are the rules as revised January 13, 2021; confirm the current version with the association.

Fines and other rules

After a first and second written notice, the rules set an automatic fine of $1,000 per violation for further violations or a failure to cure. Lanais are limited to patio furniture, floor coverings, potted plants, bicycles and color-conforming shades; window air conditioners are not allowed. Smoking and vaping are barred in the gated common areas, clubhouse, courtyard and playground, and drones need prior written FAA approval.

Owner obligations

Owners must give the office a working entry key or code for the unit and contact details for any home-watch service or property manager. Second-level floor changes other than carpet need board approval and sound-deadening material. The rules published in 2021 may since have been revised, so ask for the current set with the resale documents.

Is Venetian Palms a 55+ community?

Venetian Palms has no age restriction in any document we read. The association's 2021 Rules and Regulations, its tenant form and its state filings contain no 55+ rule. Under Florida Statutes section 760.29, a 55+ community needs a recorded instrument and published age-verification policies, and the recorded declaration, Instrument 2006-27321, was not read for this page.

What the law requires for a 55+ community

Federal rules at 24 CFR 100.304 and Florida Statutes section 760.29(4) let a community qualify as housing for older persons when at least 80 percent of occupied units have at least one occupant 55 or older and the community publishes and follows age-verification procedures. A page can state a 55+ rule only by citing the recorded instrument that creates it.

How to confirm for a specific unit

The declaration and any amendments are indexed in the Lee County Clerk's official records under Instrument 2006-27321. The association must also make its recorded declaration available to owners under section 718.111(12). A buyer who needs certainty about occupancy rules should read the declaration and the current rules before the end of the contract's review period.

What amenities does Venetian Palms have?

Venetian Palms amenities are association property inside the condominium: two pools, a clubhouse, a sauna, a fitness center, tennis, volleyball and shuffleboard, plus a courtyard and a playground, according to the association's rules and its May 30, 2024 management announcement. There is no golf course, dining room or town center on the property.

Pools, sauna and clubhouse

The two pools are closed from dusk to dawn under the Florida Administrative Code rule the association cites, open by access card only, and have no lifeguard. The rules regulate the pool, sauna and spa together. The clubhouse has kitchen use, takes event requests approved by the board, opens by access card during courtyard hours and sits on the 32.53-acre common parcel.

Fitness center and courts

The fitness center opens by access card and is closed to children under 16 under the rules. The management announcement lists tennis, volleyball and shuffleboard among the amenities. Court counts and hours beyond those in the rules were not published in the documents we read, so ask the association for the current schedule.

Courtyard and playground hours

The courtyard is open from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. and the playground from sunrise to sunset, per the 2021 rules. Smoking and vaping are not allowed in either.

Is Venetian Palms gated?

The association's rules call the pool and amenity compounds "gated common areas" opened by access card. No document we read describes a staffed or vehicle gate at the community entrance, so we do not describe Venetian Palms as a gated community. A site visit or the declaration would settle it.

Shopping nearby

Venetian Palms has no shops on the property. The Bell Tower Shops are about 0.6 straight-line miles from the community's median parcel point, the nearest named shopping anchor in our measurements.

Is Venetian Palms in a flood zone?

Venetian Palms is mostly in FEMA Zone X, with two buildings in Zone AE. A test of all 329 parcel points against FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer on October 28, 2026 found 312 in Zone X (the shaded 0.2 percent annual chance coastal area) and 17 in Zone AE with a 9 foot base flood elevation. The zone depends on the building.

Which units are in Zone AE

The 17 Zone AE parcel points are units 2601 to 2608 and 2701 to 2708 in the buildings at 12710 and 12720 Equestrian Circle, plus the common-element parcel at 12510 Equestrian Circle. That is 16 of 328 units, about 4.9 percent (our arithmetic). The other 312 parcel points, every remaining unit, fall in Zone X.

How the flood count was made

Each parcel's county point was tested against FEMA's effective flood zone polygons. A point test classifies a parcel by one location, so a building that straddles a zone line can differ. An earlier 30-parcel random sample returned 30 in Zone X because it drew no unit from the two AE buildings; the full 329-parcel test replaces it. No parcel returned a coastal V zone.

The FEMA panel and the base flood elevation

The effective panel is 12071C0417G, effective November 17, 2022, part of Lee County's countywide flood insurance rate map. The base flood elevation for the AE area is 9 feet. The lowest-floor elevation of the two AE buildings was not found in any public record we could read; an elevation certificate is what an insurer or lender uses. Search any address at the FEMA Flood Map Service Center.

The March 2, 2027 map revision

FEMA's Letters of Final Determination list a Florida revision effective March 2, 2027, with a letter date of September 2, 2026, and its community list names Lee County (Unincorporated Areas), community 125124. Venetian Palms is unincorporated Lee County, so the new maps cover its jurisdiction. Whether panel 0417 is among the revised panels was not confirmed, so check the address again after March 2, 2027.

Flood insurance and lenders

FloodSmart, the federal flood insurance program's consumer site, states that flood insurance is required for a federally backed mortgage on a building in a special flood hazard area such as Zone AE. Units in Zone X are not federally required to carry it, though a lender may ask. Get a quote and the building's elevation certificate before you make an offer on a 2600 or 2700 unit.

Venetian Palms evacuation zone

Lee County's evacuation zones layer places Venetian Palms in Evacuation Zone B, surge zone 2, at the community's median point and at two corners of its footprint, checked October 28, 2026 (layer last edited March 11, 2025). An evacuation zone measures storm surge exposure and is separate from a FEMA flood zone. Check the Florida Know Your Zone tool before each storm season.

Hurricane Ian in September 2022

Lee County ordered Zone A, Zone B and part of Zone C to evacuate on September 27, 2022, ahead of Hurricane Ian, as reported by WBBH. The National Hurricane Center records Ian's landfall at Cayo Costa on September 28, 2022 as a Category 4 with 130 knot winds, surge of 5 to 8 feet above ground up the Caloosahatchee River at Fort Myers, and 36 of 41 surge deaths in Lee County.

Hurricanes Helene and Milton in 2024

The National Hurricane Center measured 5.12 feet above mean higher high water at the Fort Myers tide gauge in Helene (landfall near Perry, September 27, 2024) and 5.27 feet in Milton (Category 3 landfall at Siesta Key, October 10, 2024 UTC), with a 56 knot gust at RSW. For Milton, a network news report and the City of Bonita Springs said Lee County ordered Zones A and B to evacuate.

What the storm record shows at Venetian Palms

Damage at Venetian Palms from Ian, Helene or Milton is not documented in any primary record we reviewed on October 28, 2026. The National Hurricane Center figures describe the coast and the tidal river, and Venetian Palms is inland of both. Absence of a record is not a finding about any unit, so ask the association for its storm claims history and insurance loss runs.

Insurance notes for Venetian Palms buyers

The association's master policy covers the parts of the building the declaration assigns to it, and a unit owner needs an HO-6 policy for the rest. Several listings name building insurance in the dues. Citizens Property Insurance Corporation, created by Florida Statutes section 627.351, and the state's My Safe Florida Home program are resources to check; we give no premium figures.

Which schools serve Venetian Palms addresses?

Venetian Palms is in Lee County elementary proximity Zone O for 2026-27, which offers Heights, Rayma C. Page, Tanglewood and Villas elementary schools through the district's choice process. Middle and high school assignment for the address was not confirmed, so use the district's school zone lookup. Families rank choices and seats are not guaranteed.

How Lee County school choice works

The School District of Lee County uses a Proximity Plan for elementary students, with priority levels and a choice application, under its 2026-27 Student Enrollment Plan. Zone O is zone code 10010 on the county's 2026-27 proximity layer, and all three points tested at Venetian Palms returned it. This is a statement about the zone, not about where any child is assigned.

Where are the hospitals near Venetian Palms?

Venetian Palms is about 3.5 straight-line miles from HealthPark Medical Center and about 3.6 straight-line miles from Gulf Coast Medical Center, both Lee Health hospitals, measured from the community's median parcel point on October 28, 2026. Drive times were not measured. In an emergency, call 911.

Gulf Coast Medical Center

Gulf Coast Medical Center has 699 licensed beds, 584 private rooms and 70 emergency department beds, including four trauma bays and eight fast-track rooms, and is a Level II Trauma Center. Lee Health acquired it in 2006 and expanded it through 2021. Lee Health posts emergency department status online.

HealthPark Medical Center

HealthPark Medical Center is a 326-bed Lee Health hospital built in 1991 and Magnet designated, with a 24/7 emergency room at 9981 S HealthPark Drive, Fort Myers, FL 33908. We measured it at about 3.5 straight-line miles; a road trip is longer.

Where is Venetian Palms?

Venetian Palms is in south Fort Myers, ZIP 33907, on Equestrian Circle off the College Parkway corridor, in unincorporated Lee County. Measured straight-line from the median parcel point, the Bell Tower Shops are about 0.6 miles, downtown Fort Myers about 5.9 miles and Southwest Florida International Airport about 7.6 miles.

Is Venetian Palms in the City of Fort Myers?

No. The mailing city is Fort Myers for every unit, but all units are in taxing district 047, unincorporated Lee County, with ULC zoning on the county roll. That decides the millage, the permitting and code office, and the flood map community (Lee County Unincorporated Areas, 125124). The City of Fort Myers is a separate taxing district, 090.

Fire, solid waste and county services

The South Trail Fire District serves Venetian Palms: county tax authority 085, impact fee district 12, district address 5531 Halifax Ave, Fort Myers 33912, per the county fire district layer. Solid waste is county Area 3. Lee County, not the City, handles permits and code enforcement for the community.

Roads that serve Venetian Palms

The roads named in county and FDOT records near the community are US 41 (SR 45), Six Mile Cypress Parkway and Gladiolus Drive (SR 865), College Parkway and McGregor Boulevard. The community's own street is Equestrian Circle, and its 28 building addresses run from 12500 to 12750.

What is changing near Venetian Palms

FDOT is designing improvements at the Six Mile Cypress Parkway and Gladiolus Drive intersection with US 41 (project 430886-1); no construction date is published. FDOT's Lee County index also lists project 444328-1, US 41 at Six Mile Cypress Parkway. The Lee County MPO has reviewed corridor options there, one being a continuous-flow intersection, per Gulfshore Business; no selection was reported.

What we could not check nearby

Lee County's zoning and development review pages did not load for our research, so we did not review rezonings or development orders within a mile of Venetian Palms. That is a gap, not an all-clear. A buyer can search the county's zoning case records for parcels around Equestrian Circle and Bell Tower.

How Venetian Palms compares with nearby condominium communities

Venetian Palms recorded a $120,000 condominium median on the Lee County record in the latest 12 months, against $108,550 at Seven Lakes, $210,000 at Cinnamon Cove and $242,000 for Whiskey Creek condominiums. The table compares Seven Lakes homes for sale, Cinnamon Cove and Whiskey Creek homes for sale on one yardstick: qualified condominium sales over 12 months. Data updated: October 2026.

Cinnamon Cove and Whiskey Creek rows use their condominium figures because both also have single-family homes. The table makes no recommendation.

How to read the comparison table

The four counts use each community's legal names on the county roll, so they can differ from association totals. The Cinnamon Cove and Whiskey Creek change figures are our arithmetic from the two condominium medians in each county file. Venetian Palms' year built is the county layer's original construction year; the county sale file lists 2006, the year the condominium was created. Floor plan mix and building age move every median.

Seven Lakes and Venetian Palms side by side

Seven Lakes and Venetian Palms are both all-condominium communities in ZIP 33907 and taxing district 047, so they share the same 13.3623 mill rate. On the county record, Venetian Palms recorded fewer sales (15 against 68) at a higher condominium median ($120,000 against $108,550) and a higher median per heated square foot ($165 against $103). Both medians fell more than 30 percent from the prior 12 months.

The history of Venetian Palms

Venetian Palms buildings date from 1991 on the Lee County parcel layer. The association was incorporated on November 2, 2005, and the condominium was declared in 2006 under Lee County Instrument 2006-27321, which the state condominium file dates January 19, 2006. The original developer and builder are not named in any primary source we read.

Built in 1991, declared a condominium in 2006

The county layer carries two years for every unit: an original construction year of 1991 and a condominium creation year of 2006. The county sale file shows 2006 as the year built, which is why some records list Venetian Palms as a 2006 community. The 1991 buildings became a condominium in 2006, about two months after the association was incorporated.

The sales record since 2015

The county file shows 34 sales in 2015 at an $81,750 median, a climb to $177,000 in 2022 and $190,000 in 2024, and $120,000 in the 2026 year to date on 13 sales. The highest qualified sale in the file is $285,000 for 12560 Equestrian Cir 1315, recorded October 20, 2023.

Management and the association today

The association changed its management company in 2024, announced May 30, 2024 in a release that described the community as 328 units. The association remains a single, owner-run Florida not-for-profit corporation, with its annual report filed March 16, 2026 and a registered agent change recorded the same day.

Frequently Asked Questions about Venetian Palms homes for sale

These are the questions Venetian Palms buyers ask most, answered from the Lee County record, the association's published rules, Sunbiz, FEMA's flood map, the Lee County property appraiser's millage rates and the Florida Department of Education. Each answer carries the same dates as the sections above, so every figure can be checked against its source below.

The Bell Tower Shops are about 0.6 straight-line miles away, and downtown Fort Myers is about 5.9 straight-line miles.

How many units are in Venetian Palms?

The Lee County parcel layer counts 328 condominium units plus one common-element parcel, and the association's 2024 management announcement also says 328 units. The county's sale file lists 327 parcels because five unit records carry a placeholder site address. Units sit at 28 street numbers on Equestrian Circle, in buildings of 6 to 16 units.

What is the median price of a condo in Venetian Palms?

Lee County recorded 15 qualified Venetian Palms sales at a $120,000 median in the 12 months through September 25, 2026, from $100,000 to $174,000, at $165 per heated square foot. Every sale was a condominium resale. The 24-month median was $150,000 on 31 sales, and the prior 12 months recorded 16 sales at $176,000.

How many condos sold in Venetian Palms last year?

Lee County recorded 15 qualified sales in the 12 months through September 25, 2026, against 16 in the 12 months before that. By calendar year, the county recorded 13 sales in 2025 at a $152,000 median and 13 in 2026 through August at $120,000. The newest recorded Venetian Palms sale was August 10, 2026.

Have Venetian Palms prices gone down?

On the county record, yes. The 12-month median fell 31.8 percent, from $176,000 to $120,000, on 16 and 15 sales. The calendar-year median peaked at $190,000 in 2024 and was $120,000 in the 2026 year to date. A deed record shows price and date, not the reason, so the record cannot explain the change.

When were the Venetian Palms condos built?

The Lee County parcel layer gives 1991 as the original construction year for every unit and 2006 as the year the condominium was created. The declaration is Lee County Instrument 2006-27321, dated January 19, 2006 in the state condominium file, and the association was incorporated November 2, 2005. Some records show 2006 as the build year.

What floor plans does Venetian Palms have?

The county layer shows four plans: a 623 square foot one-bedroom (104 units), a 727 square foot one-bedroom (32 units), a 1,033 square foot two-bedroom with two baths (152 units) and a 1,154 square foot three-bedroom with two baths (40 units). Every unit is a condominium in a two-story building.

What is the most expensive condo sold recently in Venetian Palms?

The highest sale in the latest 12 months was $174,000 for 12580 Equestrian Cir 1507, a 1,033 square foot two-bedroom recorded May 19, 2026. The highest qualified Venetian Palms sale in the county file is $285,000 for 12560 Equestrian Cir 1315, a two-bedroom of the same size recorded October 20, 2023.

What is the least expensive way into Venetian Palms?

On the latest 12 months of recorded sales, the lowest price was $100,000 for 12630 Equestrian Cir 1806, a 623 square foot one-bedroom recorded May 29, 2026. The 623 square foot plan recorded six sales at a $114,750 median. Monthly dues and property tax still apply at any price, so add them before comparing.

What are the HOA fees at Venetian Palms in Fort Myers?

The association does not publish its budget on a public page. 2026 MLS listing data shows dues of $353 a month on a 623 square foot one-bedroom and $510 a month on a 1,033 square foot two-bedroom, rising with unit size. Confirm the exact figure for any unit on its estoppel certificate before you write an offer.

What do Venetian Palms dues include?

Inclusion lists on 2026 MLS listing data name water, sewer, trash, grounds care, pest control, recreation facilities, reserves, street lights and irrigation water, and one listing adds cable TV and internet. Several listings also name building insurance. These are listing statements, so the association's current budget and the estoppel certificate are the documents to read.

Does Venetian Palms have special assessments?

None were found. One 2026 MLS listing shows a special assessment field of 0.00 (February 26, 2026), and no notice or news item announcing a special assessment turned up for 2024 to 2026. That is a search result, not a guarantee, so request the estoppel certificate and the last two sets of board minutes.

Does Venetian Palms have a CDD?

No community development district line appears in Lee County's 2026 millage rates for district 047, and no CDD or special taxing unit is named for Venetian Palms in the county, state or association records we read. The association's dues are a private obligation under the condominium documents, not a line on the county tax bill.

What is the property tax rate at Venetian Palms?

Venetian Palms is in Lee County taxing district 047, South Trail Fire, at an adopted 2026 total of 13.3623 mills, down from 13.4125 in 2025. That is $1,336.23 per $100,000 of taxable value. At the 2026 roll's median taxable value of $117,175, the same rate gives about $1,565.73 before non-ad valorem lines.

Is Venetian Palms in the City of Fort Myers?

No. Venetian Palms has a Fort Myers mailing address and ZIP 33907, but every unit is in taxing district 047, unincorporated Lee County, with ULC zoning on the county roll. The City of Fort Myers is district 090, at 16.9702 mills for 2026, so city millage and city departments do not apply to Venetian Palms.

Who runs the Venetian Palms association?

One Florida not-for-profit corporation, Venetian Palms of Ft. Myers Condominium Association, Inc., Sunbiz document N05000011220, filed November 2, 2005 and active, operates the condominium from 12510 Equestrian Circle. Its 2026 annual report, filed March 16, 2026, lists five board seats. No master association or sub-association was found in the records we read.

How do I get the Venetian Palms estoppel certificate?

Resale and lender documents are requested through the association's resale-document portal. Florida Statutes section 718.116(8) caps the estoppel fee at $250, plus $100 if expedited and up to $150 more if the unit is delinquent, and requires the certificate within 10 business days. It states the dues and any balance owed on the unit.

Can I rent out a condo in Venetian Palms?

Yes, with board approval. The association's rules, revised January 13, 2021, set a minimum lease of one calendar month or 30 days and require written approval before a tenant moves in. Each adult tenant needs a $75 background check valid three years. No annual cap on leases appears in the published rules.

Are short-term rentals allowed at Venetian Palms?

Not on a nightly or weekly basis. The association's rules, revised January 13, 2021, set a minimum lease of one calendar month or 30 days, and guests who stay 30 days or more are treated as tenants who need board approval. Confirm the current rules with the association before buying a unit to lease.

Is Venetian Palms a 55+ community?

No age restriction appears in the documents we read: the association's 2021 rules, its tenant form and its state filings contain no 55+ rule. Under Florida Statutes section 760.29, a 55+ rule needs a recorded instrument, and the recorded declaration, Lee County Instrument 2006-27321, was not read for this page, so read it before relying on any assumption.

Is Venetian Palms gated?

The association's rules call the pool and amenity compounds "gated common areas" opened by access card, but no document we read describes a staffed or vehicle gate at the community entrance. We therefore do not describe Venetian Palms as a gated community. A site visit, the declaration or the association office can confirm the entrance arrangements.

The pools close at dusk and open by access card. There is no golf course or dining room.

Does Venetian Palms have a golf course?
