Overview
About Carmel
Carmel is a small neighborhood on private streets off SW Seaboard Avenue. Most of its houses went up over a decade, from 1988 to 1998, on lots of about three-tenths of an acre.
The county roll counts about 53 houses. A typical one has about 1,990 square feet of living area, most between about 1,780 and 2,270. One older house on the roll predates the plat.
It was recorded as the Plat of Carmel (PB 11, page 13), with the streets held as a private parcel by the property owners association.
It sits next to Sunset Trace and Islesworth in the Martin Downs area. It is in unincorporated Martin County with a Palm City address in the 34990 ZIP, so the county sets zoning, permits and building rules. It is not the same as Carmel at Beau Rivage, a separate plat in the county records.

What Else to Check

- Taxes and insurance After a sale the assessed value resets the following January. Flood zone and roof age drive insurance quotes, so we check both for the address.
- Estoppel The closing agent orders an estoppel certificate from each association, which confirms what is owed at closing.
Documents to Review Before Closing
- Before you sign: the association disclosure summary and the parcel’s tax bill, including any non-ad valorem lines
- Before you sign: leasing and approval rules if you may rent, and architectural rules for exterior changes
- Before closing: estoppel certificates from every association that applies
