Location & Context
Wellen Park sits in the West Villages area of North Port and Venice in southern Sarasota County, anchored by Downtown Wellen and an 80-acre activity lake.
Source: Wellen Park, 2026-06.It has absorbed much of the area's new-construction growth this cycle, which is why most national builders run villages here.
What Is Planned
The community spans many gated villages from multiple builders, with single-family homes and townhomes across a wide price range; the master amenities include resort pools, about 30 miles of trails, a fishing pier, a community garden, and golf and country clubs.

Wellen Park is in Sarasota County, so property taxes follow the county millage, and most villages carry CDD assessments on top of the HOA. Wellen Park homes carry Community Development District assessments (they fund the roads and amenities), so expect a CDD line on your Sarasota County tax bill in addition to your village HOA — the amount differs by village, commonly in the ~$1,500–$3,000/yr range per local sources, so confirm for your specific village. Source: Wellen Park village disclosures / local reporting, 2026.
Expect a CDD in most villages: a master plan this size funds its infrastructure and amenities through community development district assessments billed on the tax bill, so confirm the per-village CDD and HOA before you budget. For context, the Sarasota County figure in our FY2025-26 millage file is a typical total of about 13.48 mills, and actual parcel totals vary by municipality and taxing district, so treat it as a planning number, not a quote.

Wellen Park is in the Sarasota County School District — area homes have fed Taylor Ranch Elementary, Venice Middle, and Venice High. Note that Wellen Park High School opens August 2026 and Sarasota County is redistricting around it, so confirm the current high-school zone for your homesite.
