Buying in Naples

We help buyers find the right home, condo or waterfront property in Naples and check the details that matter before you commit.

  • City or county: confirm whether the property is inside the City of Naples or in unincorporated Collier County, because that decides who handles permits and records.
  • Flood zone and elevation: look up the address and ask for any elevation certificate before you make an offer.
  • Renovation plans: if you plan major work, check how the 50% rule could affect it.
  • Permits: confirm what work was permitted and which government issued the permits.
  • Condos: review the association’s documents, inspections, reserves, rules and insurance.
  • Insurance: get flood and wind quotes before your inspection period ends.

Naples Property Questions

How do I check a Naples property’s flood zone?

Look up the address on FEMA’s Flood Map Service Center (opens in a new tab) and ask the seller early for any elevation certificate.

How does the City of Naples apply the 50% rule?

Inside the City of Naples, a substantial improvement is work that costs 50% or more of the structure’s market value before construction starts. The City uses the structure’s assessed value from the Collier County Property Appraiser, which excludes the land and any pool or spa, or an owner can submit an appraisal from a Florida-licensed appraiser dated within six months of the permit submittal. The cost estimate must be prepared and signed by a licensed contractor. Read the City’s Building in the Floodplain page (opens in a new tab).

Who handles permits for a Naples property?

Confirm whether the property is inside the City of Naples limits or in unincorporated Collier County before you plan work, because that decides who issues permits and holds the records. Inside the city, floodplain review is handled by the City of Naples Building Department.

What should condo buyers ask the association for?

Under Florida law, condo buildings three or more habitable stories tall need a milestone inspection when they reach 30 years old and every 10 years after, or at 25 years if the local enforcement agency requires it. Those associations must also complete a structural integrity reserve study at least every 10 years. Ask for the inspection summary and the reserve study along with the budget, rules and insurance. See the state’s condo inspection guidance (opens in a new tab).

What do Florida sellers have to disclose about flooding?

Sellers of residential property must give the buyer a flood disclosure at or before the time the sales contract is signed.
