Optional Membership
Golf at Pelican Preserve: a membership you choose
No home in Pelican Preserve comes with a golf membership, and none is required. The Club at Pelican Preserve is run by Heritage Golf Group and sells two kinds of membership. Golf members play all year on a cart fee. Social members get the club’s dining and fitness, and can play six rounds in season and as often as they like in summer. Social dues are $6,540 a year less than an individual golf membership, and a social member can move up to golf later.

The Club at Pelican Preserve membership schedule, effective January 2026. The club is operated by Heritage Golf Group and is not part of the community association, so these rates are set by the club. Dues are billed monthly on a January 1 to December 31 commitment and are subject to Florida sales tax. Confirm current pricing and availability with the club at (239) 985-1707 before you rely on any figure here.
Membership is a decision about how you want to spend the year, separate from which home you buy. Ask a Worthington agent to put the two side by side for the way you play.
Cost of Ownership
Pelican Preserve HOA fees and the full cost of owning a home
Every home here pays two fees. The community fee is the same everywhere, $1,463.11 a quarter on the 2026 budget, and pays for the Town Center, the grounds, cable, reserves and a loan the residents took on. The neighborhood fee is your own association’s, and it is the one that changes from street to street. Start with the kind of home you are considering, then pick the neighborhood named on the listing.
Community plus neighborhood fees
$7,268 to $12,540 a year
Every home type, before property tax and the Gateway Services District on the tax bill. Golf is separate and optional.
At purchase
$2,810 at closing. That is a $2,660 transfer fee and a $150 application fee. Buyers file two applications, one with the community association and one with the neighborhood.

Every yearly figure is the quarterly fee times four. These assume the irrigation charge, which 1,702 of the 2,498 homes pay; the other 796 pay $17.50 a quarter less. Golf is optional and is not in any figure here.
The community fee comes from the Pelican Preserve Community Association 2026 approved budget, for the year December 1, 2025 to November 30, 2026. Palazzo I, III and IV come from their adopted budgets. Every other neighborhood fee is current as of September 2026. An individual home can carry charges beyond these, so confirm the exact figures on the estoppel before you make an offer.
Four things the fee schedule does not show
The loan assessment has no published end date
Every home pays $341.65 a quarter, $1,366.60 a year, toward a special loan assessment inside the community fee. The 2026 budget shows two loans behind it. It does not say when the assessment ends, so ask for the loan terms with the estoppel.
Palazzo is four associations
Palazzo I, II, III and IV are separate condominium associations with 220 units between them and four different fees. The legal description on the listing names the phase. Palazzo I and II budget January to December, and III and IV December to November.
Villa Capri covers three names
Milano, Camarelle and Tiberio show up as separate neighborhoods in the MLS. They are one association, Villa Capri, with a different fee on each.
Reserve funding is pushing Palazzo fees up
Palazzo I went from $1,275 to $1,460 a quarter this year, up 14.5%, and its reserve contribution more than doubled. Palazzo I, III and IV hold about 16% to 32% of their identified replacement costs in reserve. None of them has a special assessment on the books as of September 2026.
Verify the exact home. The community fee resets each December, two of the Palazzo associations reset in January, and an individual home can carry its own charges. Before you make an offer we pull the current estoppel and the governing documents. We confirm both fees, the transfer fee, the leasing rules for that neighborhood and the district line on the tax bill. To put these beside taxes, insurance and the rest, use our cost of owning a home in Southwest Florida breakdown.
Every home is a little different. Send us the address and we will confirm both fees, the neighborhood documents, the transfer fee and the district line on the tax bill.
For Owners Who Rent
Renting out a Pelican Preserve home: the lease rules
The community declaration sets no leasing limit and says leasing is not a commercial use. The limits come from each neighborhood’s own documents, so two homes a street apart can follow different rules.
Rental limits
Set by the neighborhood
Twelve leases a year with a 30-day minimum is common. Some neighborhoods allow only 2, 3 or 4.
The age rule
The community declaration requires at least one person living in each home to be 55 or older.
The neighborhood documents
Read the lease section of your own neighborhood’s declaration. That is where the cap comes from.
The minimum term
30 days in most neighborhoods.
The applications
Buyers apply to both the community and the neighborhood. Ask whether a tenant needs the same approval before you sign a lease.
Every neighborhood sets its own rules. Send us the address and we will confirm the lease limit and the approval steps for that home before you count on renting it.
We work with owners renting in Pelican Preserve. If you are weighing a rental, we can check your neighborhood’s lease rules and what the home realistically rents for.
Living in Pelican Preserve: a buyer’s guide
Pelican Preserve is a gated, 55-and-over community in the Gateway area of Fort Myers, inside the city limits and close to I-75 and Southwest Florida International Airport. It holds 2,498 homes, from mid-rise condominiums to single-family homes, spread across about nineteen neighborhood associations. The community was first recorded in 2001 as Sun City Center Ft. Myers, which is why both names appear on older documents. The residents have run the association since 2019 and own the Town Center, with its pools, fitness center, theater, restaurants and courts. Golf is separate. The Club at Pelican Preserve sells memberships to residents and non-residents alike.
Inside Pelican Preserve
- Location: The Gateway area of Fort Myers, inside the city limits, near I-75 and Southwest Florida International Airport.
- Size & homes: 2,498 homes: single-family homes, attached villas, and low-rise and mid-rise condominiums, in about nineteen neighborhood associations.
- Built: 2001 through 2022, first by Bay Colony-Gateway and later by WCI Communities.
- Amenities: A Town Center with indoor and outdoor pools, an indoor lap pool, a staffed fitness center, tennis and pickleball, a movie theater, an outdoor amphitheater, restaurants and a woodshop, plus a 38-acre nature preserve with a boardwalk.
- What sets it apart: The residents own the Town Center. Golf is a membership an owner chooses, and no home comes with one.
Types of Homes in Pelican Preserve
Four kinds of home sit here. Mid-rise condominiums run about 1,235 to 1,396 square feet and low-rise condominiums 1,722 to 2,455. Attached villas run 1,227 to 1,713 square feet, and single-family homes 1,278 to 2,644.
Compare inside a neighborhood before comparing across them. Every home pays the same community fee, but the neighborhood fee on top runs from $354 a quarter on a Materita villa to $1,672 on a Palazzo IV condominium. That second fee is most of the difference in what two homes cost to own each year.
What Living in Pelican Preserve Is Like
The Town Center is where most of the day happens. It has indoor and outdoor pools, an indoor lap pool, a staffed fitness center, tennis and pickleball, a movie theater, an outdoor amphitheater, restaurants and a woodshop. The association counts 50 resident clubs open to everyone and as many as 30 exercise classes a week. A 38-acre nature preserve with a boardwalk sits inside the community as well.
The residents own all of it. Pelican Preserve became owner-managed in 2019, when five residents were elected to the board, and within its first 18 months that board bought the Town Center from the developer. Every home pays toward it through the Town Center line in the community fee, $501.16 a quarter.
The golf course is a separate business. The Club at Pelican Preserve has 27 holes and is run by Heritage Golf Group. It sells golf memberships to residents and non-residents, and social memberships to residents only. Owners can live here without joining. Use the interactive What’s Nearby map to test the drives that matter to you.
What to Know Before You Buy
Two things here surprise buyers, and both are worth knowing before an offer. The first is the special loan assessment. It is $341.65 a quarter, $1,366.60 a year, on every home, and it sits inside the community fee. The 2026 budget shows two loans being repaid. The budget does not say when the assessment ends, so ask for the loan terms along with the estoppel before you count on that line going away.
The second is the age rule, which has more room in it than most people expect. At least one person living in each home must be 55 or older. The board may approve a written waiver down to age 50, as long as at least 80% of homes stay occupied by someone 55 or older. Children and grandchildren may visit up to 30 days a calendar year.
Practical Considerations
- HOA fees: Two of them. The community fee is $1,463.11 a quarter on the 2026 budget, or $1,445.61 on a home without irrigation. The neighborhood fee on top runs $354 to $1,672 a quarter. Together that is about $7,268 to $12,540 a year.
- CDD fees: No district of its own. Pelican Preserve sits inside the Gateway Services District, which appears on the tax bill at about $1,000 a year.
- At closing: A $2,660 transfer fee and a $150 application fee, $2,810 in all. Buyers apply to the community association and to the neighborhood.
- Age: 55 and over. At least one occupant must be 55, with a board waiver possible down to 50.
- Taxes: City and county. Pelican Preserve is inside Fort Myers city limits, so the bill carries city millage.
- Golf: Optional. The Club at Pelican Preserve sells golf and social memberships separately from the home.
- Leasing: The community declaration sets no limit. Each neighborhood sets its own, usually 12 leases a year with a 30-day minimum.

05Who owns the Town Center at Pelican Preserve?
The short answer
The residents, through their association.
Pelican Preserve became owner-managed in 2019, when five residents were elected to the board, and within its first 18 months that board bought the Town Center from the developer. Every home pays toward it through the community fee.

12What flood zone is a Fort Myers home in, and how do I check it?
The short answer
Flood zones change from one block to the next, so the only answer that counts is the one for that exact address.
The zone affects both insurance cost and lender requirements, and two homes on the same street can sit in different ones. Check the FEMA flood zone for the address first, then get a current insurance quote before you make an offer.
