Flat-fee management for rentals in an unincorporated, two-county community
Lutz Property Management
BayTown manages Lutz rentals for a flat $149 per month, charged only from rent collected. The ZIP codes serving Lutz and the surrounding area are 33548, 33549, 33558 and 33559, and they extend north past the Hillsborough County line to State Road 54 in unincorporated southern Pasco County.
Lutz property management here means one manager who carries your property personally, a written monthly statement, and a fee that does not move with the rent.

What Lutz property management costs
The management fee is $149 per month, flat, whatever the rent brings in — never a percentage. It is taken only from rent collected, so a vacant property pays no management fee while it sits empty.
Leasing and renewals are separate one-time fees, and Emily explains them in your free quote along with what your property should rent for and every other fee in writing. There is no long-term contract: an owner who leaves gets files, keys and the tenant relationship handed over cleanly.

An unincorporated community across two counties
Lutz is an unincorporated community, not a city, and it straddles Hillsborough and Pasco counties — northwestern Hillsborough on one side, southern Pasco on the other. The two sides sit under different county governments and different public school districts, and Lutz is served by both Hillsborough and Pasco County Public Schools.
Most of Hillsborough County's land is unincorporated and under the jurisdiction of the county commission, and as of 2020 more than two thirds of county residents lived in unincorporated areas — Lutz fits that pattern. Hillsborough County Fire Rescue serves the unincorporated parts of the county.
Roads and commutes
Downtown Tampa is 14 miles south of Lutz. Interstate 275 runs through eastern Lutz and joins Interstate 75 in the northeast corner; U.S. Route 41 runs through the center of the community; and Florida State Road 597 forms part of the western border. Wesley Chapel borders Lutz to the northeast and New Tampa to the east.
Tampa International Airport is the county's primary commercial aviation airport, and HART runs bus service and the TECO Line Streetcar in Hillsborough County.
The community was named for W. P. Lutz, credited with bringing the railroad, and a replica of the old train depot sits at Lutz-Lake Fern Road and U.S. Highway 41.
The address does not rent the property by itself. Request your free quote and we will price the unit against real comparable rentals nearby rather than against a countywide average.
Filling a vacancy in Lutz
Leasing is a separate one-time fee, charged once, only when a tenant signs. The work behind it:
- 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
Before the first showing
The practical questions come from the property itself — age of the roof, builder warranty items on newer construction, and whether the unit sits on the Hillsborough or Pasco side of the line. Those answers belong in the listing before the first showing.

What the monthly fee covers
Once a tenant is in place, the $149 covers the recurring work of owning a rental: tenant relations, rent collection with a statement every month, maintenance and repair coordination, scheduled inspections, monthly reporting through a 24/7 owner portal, and market analysis on your property.
Who handles your Lutz property
Emily Brown is the lead property manager. She personally carries the properties she manages and replies by text or email, usually the same day, so questions about a Lutz rental do not sit in a queue.
Antonio Lombardo is co-founder and broker of record. He works in the properties himself and handles builder-warranty and remediation questions when they come up. BayTown Property Management LLC is a licensed Florida real estate brokerage, license CQ1061089.

Questions owners ask
Do you manage rentals on both the Hillsborough and Pasco sides of Lutz?
Yes. Lutz is unincorporated in both counties, and the ZIP codes serving it run north past the county line to State Road 54, so we manage on both sides. Expect different county government contacts and different school districts depending on where the property sits.
What does the $149 a month actually cover?
Tenant relations, rent collection with a monthly statement, maintenance and repair coordination, scheduled inspections, monthly reporting through a 24/7 owner portal, and market analysis. Leasing and renewals are separate one-time fees that Emily explains in the free quote.
Do I pay the management fee while my Lutz rental is empty?
No. The $149 is charged only from rent collected, so a vacant property pays no management fee.
Is there a long-term contract?
No long-term contract. If you leave, you get your files, keys and the tenant relationship handed over cleanly.
Does the location of my property change how you market it?
It changes the comparable rentals we price against and the roads we describe to renters: I-275 through eastern Lutz joining I-75, U.S. 41 through the center of the community, downtown Tampa 14 miles south, Wesley Chapel and New Tampa close by.
Who will I actually deal with?
Emily Brown, the lead property manager, personally carries the properties she manages and usually answers by text or email the same day. Antonio Lombardo, broker of record, handles builder-warranty and remediation questions.
