A new air-conditioning system installed in 2025 and a multi-stage water filtration system provide additional functionality. Beyond the French doors, a screened lanai surrounds a saltwater pool featuring a shallow wading area and integrated water feature. Mature fruit trees enhance the grounds, while a 46-by-18-foot covered recreational vehicle parking area with electrical hookup accommodates additional vehicle or boat storage.

Property taxes for a new owner

Estimated property taxes about $7,000 a year at the county’s value of this home and its 1.04% tax rate, including $262 in charges not based on value, no exemptions applied

On the county’s 2026 roll, the seller’s bill is about $6,000, lower because of a homestead exemption and a capped assessment, which end when the home sells.

If you make this home your primary residence, a homestead exemption would lower this figure. If you have also had a Florida homestead in any of the last three years, you may be able to carry up to $500,000 of its capped-value savings to this home, which Florida calls “portability.” Both are applied for with the Property Appraiser by March 1.

How a new owner’s property taxes are set is explained in the Costs & Taxes chapter of the 2027 Naples Buyer’s Guide.

Estimated from the Collier County Property Appraiser’s 2026 value of this home and its tax rate, plus its 2025 charges not based on value from the Collier County Tax Collector’s roll. The county sets a new value each January 1, so a new owner’s first full bill can differ.

Flood zones & evacuation

Two different things, measured by two different agencies. Evacuation zones are about storm surge and who leaves first. Flood zones are FEMA’s insurance rating, and they vary from home to home.

Hurricane evacuation zone

Zone E Collier

Called in the fifth wave, for stronger storms.

Called firstCalled last
FEMA flood zone

Mostly Zone X (minimal)

Minimal mapped flood hazard

The building is outside the Special Flood Hazard Area. Part of it lies in another zone.

FEMA flood maps and Collier County Emergency Management. A revised Collier County flood map is in preparation and may change these zones.

A starting point, not a determination. Your lender will require its own flood zone determination before closing, and your insurer will normally require an elevation certificate — a surveyor’s measurement of how high the building actually sits — before quoting. Those documents govern; this does not replace either. Zones can also be amended individually through FEMA.

Flood zones, evacuation, and insurance are explained in the Risk, Resilience & Insurance chapter of the 2027 Naples Buyer’s Guide.
