Today Neal Communities is building Verandah's newest phases: Neal is the owner of record on current new-construction lots in the county tax roll (Sunbiz, market coverage of the 2012 sale, and Lee County records, checked August 2026).
Does Verandah have a CDD?
Yes — two of them. Verandah East CDD and Verandah West CDD are separate community development districts, and which one appears on a tax bill depends on where the home sits. On sampled 2025 bills, an east-side home carried a $2,992.12 Verandah East CDD assessment while a west-side lot carried $1,474.07 for Verandah West CDD — amounts vary by lot and home, so read the actual bill for any address you're considering (Lee County Tax Collector, sampled 2025 bills, checked August 2026).
Is Verandah in a flood zone?
Its mapped flood features break down as 43% zone X (shaded) (reduced-risk area), 41% zone X (outside the high-risk area), 16% zone AE (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.
