Dade City Property Management

What property management costs in Dade City
BayTown charges a flat $149 a month, whatever the rent, and it is never a percentage of rent. The fee comes only out of rent collected, so a vacant Dade City property pays nothing until a tenant is in and paying. Leasing and renewals are separate one-time fees, and Emily explains both in your free quote rather than burying them in a schedule.
There is no setup or onboarding fee, no marketing or advertising fee, no inspection fee, and no markup on maintenance — repairs are billed at vendor cost. There is also no long-term contract; an owner who leaves gets the files, keys and tenant relationship handed over cleanly.

History and landmarks in Dade City
Dade City is the seat of Pasco County, first temporarily and later permanently by popular vote in 1887, and the town was named for U.S. Army Major Francis L. Dade. It was incorporated as a town in 1884 or 1885 and reincorporated as a city on June 5, 1889. The Hugh Embry Library is on 4th Street, the Pioneer Florida Museum sits just outside the city limits and opened on Labor Day 1975, and the Kumquat Festival is hosted annually to celebrate the locally grown kumquat.
For an owner, the practical point is pricing: it starts from real comparable rentals for the specific property and its street rather than a county-wide guess, and that is exactly what the free quote covers.
Roads, rail and how the town connects
U.S. Route 98 and U.S. Route 301 are the main roads through Dade City, and CSX Transportation's Wildwood Subdivision brings freight rail service into town. Pasco County Public Transportation runs local bus service, and AdventHealth Dade City is the local hospital. The county sits about 30 miles north of Tampa and 50 miles west of Orlando and has historically been a bedroom community for Tampa and St. Petersburg, which shapes who inquires about a rental and how far they will commute.
Leasing a Dade City vacancy
Leasing is treated as its own job with its own one-time fee, which Emily explains in the free quote. It runs from pricing to keys:
- Pricing from real comparable rentals
- Marketing the vacancy where renters look
- Showings and applications
- Financial checks and reference verification on every applicant
- Lease, move-in and keys
