Active inventory across Collier County has fallen over the past year (-18%).

What it costs to own in Heron At Pelican Bay
On a median-priced Heron At Pelican Bay home ($1.70M), property taxes at Collier County’s typical millage of 11.0528 run roughly $18,237 a year with the homestead exemption applied — before any CDD or special-district charges, which vary by community.

Run the real numbers before you commit: what selling nets you, whether your Save Our Homes benefit moves with you, and rent vs buy in Collier County.
At Heron At Pelican Bay’s $1,700,000 median and Collier County’s adopted 11.05 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $18,790 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $18,350 with the full Florida homestead exemption — a buyer’s first-year figure; a long-time owner’s Save Our Homes cap can be far lower, which is one reason resale taxes jump at closing. Municipal and special-district millage varies inside the county; see the Collier County tax page.
Rents and the investor math
Typical asking rent across Collier County sits near $2,619 a month (Zillow’s rent index). Rents are moving about 1.7% year over year. County-level yield math pencils to roughly a 5.68% cap rate on typical numbers, before expenses. Home prices run about 6.43x the county’s median household income, the affordability backdrop every buyer here negotiates inside. If you are weighing an investment purchase in Heron At Pelican Bay, ask your agent for community-level rent comps rather than county averages — the spread between communities is wide.
Who is moving to Collier County, and what they earn
The county gained a net 2,411 people in the latest IRS county-migration year. Households moving IN average $283,468 in income versus $126,379 for those moving out — movers arriving here earn more than those leaving, which shapes what sellers can ask and what buyers compete against. The biggest out-of-state feeder markets are IL, NY, MA. Median household income in Collier County has grown about 31% since 2018 ($86,173 now). Population is up about 7% over the same stretch. An agent who knows these flows can tell you which way demand in Heron At Pelican Bay is actually pointing, not just where prices have been.
Sources: IRS SOI county-to-county migration; U.S. Census income and population estimates. County-level data for context; community demand varies within the county.
School context you can verify: the Collier County school district earned a district grade of A from the Florida Department of Education (2025-26) and has held an A since 2017. Attendance zones vary by address, so confirm the zoned schools for any specific home with the district.
If you’re buying in Heron At Pelican Bay

If you’re selling in Heron At Pelican Bay
In a balanced Heron At Pelican Bay market, accurate pricing plus presentation beats gamesmanship. Ask prospective listing agents to walk through their comp selection — how they price is how they will defend your price to an appraiser.
