Cortez questions
Is Cortez in the City of Bradenton?
No. Cortez is an unincorporated community, so Manatee County issues permits.
Do older homes here need a four-point inspection?
Often, yes. Many insurers ask for a four-point on homes roughly 25–40+ years old — your insurer sets the cutoff. It’s commonly booked on the same visit as a wind mitigation inspection.
