How is Pelican Marsh governed — is there an HOA?
Pelican Marsh is unusual: its original developer-era master and owners' association corporations were dissolved years ago, so community-wide governance today runs through the Pelican Marsh Community Development District (a governmental special district), while the golf and social amenities are owned by the member-owned, equity Pelican Marsh Golf Club, Inc. A buyer should therefore ask which body handles a given service — the CDD for community-wide infrastructure, the equity club for golf/social, and the individual sub-neighborhood associations for their own common areas — rather than assume a single master HOA. It was developed by WCI Communities beginning in 1994 (Sunbiz records and community materials, checked August 2026).
Is Pelican Marsh in a flood zone?
Its mapped flood features break down as 53% zone X500, 31% zone X (outside the high-risk area), 12% zone AE (high-risk area), 4% zone AH (high-risk area). That's county map data — not a flood determination for insurance or lending purposes — so check your parcel on the official lookup.
