What it really costs to own 4960 Joewood Dr
The parts of the monthly number a mortgage calculator leaves out, from this listing's MLS record, the county tax roll, Citizens and FEMA. Property facts only.
| Property tax | The current owner's bill is $17,267/yr per the MLS listing record (TaxAnnualAmount, 2026-11-12). Florida reassesses at sale, so a buyer's first bill is usually higher than the seller's; the county millage here is not verified, so no reset figure is printed. |
|---|---|
| HOA dues | $250/month per the listing record. Dues cover what the association documents say they cover; ask for the budget and reserve study before you close. |
| Home and flood insurance | The average Citizens Property Insurance premium in Lee County is $2,197/yr (6,508 policies, Citizens detail by county, April 2026); private-market quotes differ by roof age, wind mitigation and distance to the coast. The page's modeled range for this home is $9,500–$20,000/yr; neither is a quote. Flood: this address maps to FEMA zone AE, a high-risk zone where flood insurance is required with a federally backed mortgage. Statewide, a zone A/AE/VE flood policy runs about $1,200–$2,500/yr (FEMA Risk Rating 2.0 averages, not a quote). |
| Roof and age | Built in 1988. An original roof would be about 38 years old; under Florida's 2022 reform (SB 2-D) carriers may require an inspection past 15 years, so budget for a roof report and ask for the roof permit date. |
Estimated carrying cost at the asking price, before the mortgage: about $1,872/month (tax $1,439, HOA $250, insurance $183). An estimate from the sources above, not a quote; the monthly-cost calculator on this page adds the loan.
Flood zone & elevation
Sourced environmental data for the parcel. Confirm with FEMA and your insurer.
From the FEMA flood map. Lender-required flood insurance may apply; confirm for the parcel.
Approximate parcel elevation from USGS; confirm exact elevation with a survey.
Lee County is on the Florida coast; wind coverage is a major part of the premium. Premiums and coverage vary by home (roof age, wind mitigation, claims history); obtain a quote from a licensed insurer.

Items worth confirming for 4960 Joewood DR, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.
- Built in 1988 (38 years): ask for the roof and HVAC replacement dates — insurers commonly ask for roof age on homes this old, and it changes the premium.
- HOA dues are listed at $250/mo: request the current budget, reserves, and rules before relying on that figure or on any restriction.
- FEMA flood zone AE: lenders generally require flood insurance here — get an elevation certificate and a flood quote before the inspection period ends.
- Get a homeowners insurance quote for this specific address in Lee County; a wind-mitigation inspection and, on older homes, a four-point inspection can change the premium.
- Listed living area is 3,090 sq ft: verify it against the property appraiser's record and measure before relying on it.
- Order a survey to confirm lot boundaries and easements.
- Review permit history with the county.
- Property taxes: the estimate on this page (about $22,564/yr) assumes reassessment at the list price; the seller's current bill is not a guide Exemptions and portability change the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser.
- Confirm school zoning directly with the district.

Frequently asked questions
How big is 4960 Joewood DR and when was it built?
Per the listing record, 4960 Joewood DR was built in 1988 and has 3,090 sq ft of living area, 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.
What community is 4960 Joewood DR in?
4960 Joewood DR is in Gulf Ridge Sub in Sanibel, Lee County. Too few comparable closed sales exist nearby for this page to show local sales statistics; a licensed agent can prepare a comparative market analysis.
Does 4960 Joewood DR have an HOA, and how much are the dues?
The listing reports HOA dues of $250 per month. Dues, what they cover, and the community's rules should be confirmed from the association's current documents before relying on them.
Why might property taxes on 4960 Joewood DR differ from the current owner's?
The estimate on this page (about $22,564 per year) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Florida reassesses a home after it sells; for a homesteaded seller the Save Our Homes cap on their assessment does not transfer, and a buyer's own exemptions and portability are applied separately, so the two bills usually differ. Any tax figure shown here is an estimate, not the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser and tax collector.
Is 4960 Joewood DR in a flood zone?
The FEMA flood map places this parcel in Zone AE, a special flood hazard area where lenders generally require flood insurance on a mortgaged purchase. Confirm the parcel's status with FEMA and your insurer, and ask for an elevation certificate.
Can I rely on the figures on this page?
No. Estimated taxes, insurance, payments, and any market or comparable-sales summary are opinions and estimates for general information only and should not be relied upon. Verify all information independently before making any decision.

Opinion & estimate — do not rely on this page.

Estimate methodology. Tax estimates apply county millage to the list price (less the homestead exemption where the parcel is matched to the certified roll) and will differ from the actual assessed bill. Cost and market figures are derived from available data and simple calculations, not a professional appraisal. We make no representation that any estimate reflects fair market value.
