Overview
About Heronwood
Heronwood went up fast: the county roll dates every house to 1983 through 1987. Its streets carry bird names, Spoonbill and Starling, and its common land is held by the Martin Downs Property Owners Association, which ties it to the Martin Downs plan around it.
The county roll counts about 157 houses. A typical house has about 2,150 square feet of living area on a lot of a little over a quarter acre.
It was recorded as Heronwood Plat No. 1 (PB 9, page 35). The plat sets aside private streets, about ten acres of water management lakes, a preserve of about three acres and a small recreation tract.
It sits in the western part of Martin Downs near Crane Creek. It is in unincorporated Martin County with a Palm City address in the 34990 ZIP, so the county sets zoning, permits and building rules.

- 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
