Getting to know Fruitville
Fruitville is an unincorporated community in Sarasota County with about 15,500 residents at the 2020 census. Charles Reaves settled here in 1876 and reportedly named it for the area's abundance of fruit, and its Friendship Baptist Church, chartered in 1875, was the first church in what is now Sarasota County.
In 1923 a drainage district opened about 8,000 acres for farming. That drained land later became the Celery Fields Regional Stormwater Facility, now a well-known birding spot. Sarasota County's first municipal airport opened here in 1929 and closed in 1961.

A planning tip for Fruitville
A Sarasota mailing address does not mean you are inside the City of Sarasota. Most Fruitville addresses are unincorporated, so permits generally go through Sarasota County.
Who handles permits in Fruitville
Unincorporated Sarasota County addresses go through Sarasota County Planning and Development Services. Its permit centers are at 1001 Sarasota Center Blvd. in Sarasota and the R.L. Anderson Administration Center, 4000 S. Tamiami Trail in Venice (contact details).
New pools, structural repairs, new electrical or gas lines, added equipment and many deck and enclosure projects commonly need permits, while like-for-like cosmetic work may not. Every new residential pool in Florida also needs at least one approved safety feature under the Residential Swimming Pool Safety Act.
Your Fruitville checklist
- Confirm your parcel is unincorporated, not inside city limits.
- Ask how the new deck will drain away from the pool and the house.
- Ask who pulls the permit and who schedules each inspection.
- Get an itemized written estimate and a written schedule.
Cost reference points
Resurfacing is usually the biggest line. Angi puts the national average around $11,000, with most jobs between $6,000 and $15,000, and HomeGuide lists basic replastering at roughly $6,000 to $8,000. Pebble and quartz finishes cost more than plaster but tend to last longer. HomeGuide puts the average deck resurfacing job near $6,200, with most 500 to 900 square foot decks between $1,500 and $10,800. Sealing adds about $1 to $3 per square foot, and coping, which Angi lists at $30 to $50 per linear foot, is often replaced at the same time. None of that is a local quote for Fruitville. A written estimate that separates preparation, materials and labor is the only number to rely on.
Starting the conversation
Before you reach out, look at the waterline, feel the finish for rough spots and listen to the pump. Those notes, plus a couple of photos, make the first conversation faster. Then send the estimate form or call 941-280-5955. Requests are shared, with your consent, with a contractor who covers Fruitville; nothing is scheduled until you agree.
