Homes and communities
Citrus Park is not a single planned community. It is a collection of subdivisions built over several decades, from older homes on larger lots to newer deed-restricted neighborhoods. That means the rules and costs attached to a home depend entirely on which subdivision it is in.
Before comparing two homes, look up each one on the Hillsborough County Property Appraiser site to confirm the subdivision, year built and taxing district. Then ask whether the subdivision has an HOA, a CDD or both.

What to check before buying in Citrus Park
- Unincorporated status: this area is outside Tampa city limits, so Hillsborough County (not the City of Tampa) handles zoning, permits and most services. Confirm the jurisdiction on the property appraiser record.
- HOA and CDD: ask for the HOA fee, budget and rules, and check the latest tax bill for any CDD or other non-ad valorem assessment.
- Flood zone: look up the address with Hillsborough County's Find My FEMA Flood Zone tool or the FEMA Flood Map Service Center, and ask for an elevation certificate if the seller has one. The county's Floodplain Viewer also shows county-developed floodplain maps. The Tampa flood zone guide explains the maps.
- Evacuation zone: Hillsborough County revised its evacuation zones for 2026, expanding Zone A farther inland along the coast and Alafia River. Check the current zone for the address.
- Older-home systems: ask for the age of the roof, wiring, plumbing and sewer line, with permits. Use the Florida home inspection checklist.
- Property tax: the assessed value resets after a sale, so estimate taxes from your purchase price rather than the seller's bill. See Hillsborough County property tax.
