New Tampa Property Management

New Tampa is a district mostly inside the City of Tampa, not a separate town. BayTown manages residential rentals across all of Hillsborough County and all of Pasco County, and for a New Tampa owner the first questions are usually the association and community development district rules for the home and what a newer house needs. This page covers both.

Flat $149 a month, taken only from rent collected

The management fee is $149 per month per property, flat, whatever the rent brings in, and never a percentage. It comes out of collected rent only, so no management fee is billed while the property sits empty.

Leasing and renewals are separate one-time fees, and Emily goes through both with you in the free quote, in writing. There is no setup fee, no marketing fee, no inspection fee, and repairs are billed at vendor cost with no markup. No long-term contract either: an owner who leaves gets files, keys and the tenant relationship handed over cleanly.

New Tampa, a district in the north of the City of Tampa

New Tampa was annexed by the City of Tampa in 1988 and has grown rapidly since. Wikipedia describes it as bounded by Lutz to the west and Wesley Chapel to the north, with ZIP code 33647, and notes many master planned residential communities. Tampa Palms is a mixed-use planned community in the district, north of the University of South Florida along the Bruce B Downs corridor.

Most of New Tampa is inside the City of Tampa, so City of Tampa rules apply, but Wikipedia notes that Pebble Creek, an older New Tampa neighborhood, is in unincorporated Hillsborough County. Check whether your address is inside the city limits, because that decides which local government's rules apply.

Moffitt Cancer Center opened in 1986 on the University of South Florida campus, and the university lies south of Tampa Palms. That is a fact about location, not a promise about rent or vacancy; the free quote prices your home from comparable rentals.

Leasing your New Tampa vacancy

Leasing is handled as a separate one-time fee, distinct from the monthly management fee, and Emily covers it in the free quote. The work itself:

• 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

What monthly management covers

Once a tenant is in place, the monthly side is the part you should not have to think about. Urgent after-hours issues for current clients go to a separate 24/7 emergency line, so a Sunday-night problem is not sitting in an inbox until Monday.

• Tenant relations
• Rent collection with a statement every month
• Maintenance and repair coordination at vendor cost
• Scheduled inspections
• Monthly reporting and a 24/7 owner portal
• Market analysis

Your single point of contact

Emily Brown is the lead property manager and your single point of contact. She personally carries the properties she manages and replies personally, usually right away.

Coverage is all of Hillsborough and all of Pasco, which puts New Tampa alongside Lutz, Wesley Chapel, Temple Terrace and Carrollwood. One manager, one phone call, whether the home is in Tampa Palms or elsewhere in the district.

Owner notes for New Tampa rentals

Master-planned communities mean rules. Wikipedia describes many master planned residential communities in New Tampa, and Tampa Palms as a mixed-use planned community. If your home is in an association, its governing documents decide whether you may lease, the minimum lease term and any approval step. Florida Statutes Chapter 720 is the law that governs most homeowners' associations. Approval steps and timing differ by association, so get the process in writing before you list the home.

Community development districts: some New Tampa communities sit inside a community development district. K-Bar Ranch Community Development District and Tampa Palms Community Development District each file audited financial statements with the Florida Auditor General, and the K-Bar Ranch audit says its costs were funded primarily by special assessments. A community development district is a local unit of special-purpose government created under Chapter 190, Florida Statutes, and the chapter lets a district levy special assessments. A district assessment is a cost separate from association dues, so check your closing documents or ask the district which apply to your home, and include both when you work out what the home needs to rent for.

Newer homes, honest budgeting: Wikipedia says New Tampa, though first developed while it was unincorporated, did not thrive until the district boom of the 1990s, so many rentals here are likely newer homes. Newer is not the same as maintenance-free, and Antonio handles builder-warranty and remediation questions, so mention any warranty paperwork when you ask for the quote.

City limits matter: Pebble Creek, an older New Tampa neighborhood, is in unincorporated Hillsborough County, so check whether your address is inside the City of Tampa. Flood and insurance: check your address on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center and ask your insurer whether a landlord policy and a separate flood policy fit the property; flood damage is generally not covered by a standard property policy.

Florida's flood disclosure: Florida law requires the landlord to give the prospective tenant a separate written flood disclosure at or before the signing of a lease of one year or longer. It covers flooding that damaged the home during your ownership, flood insurance claims and flood assistance such as from FEMA, so tell Emily what you know.

The free management quote tells you what your New Tampa property should rent for, based on real comparable rentals, and puts every fee in writing. No obligation, no pressure. If you are weighing a percentage-based manager against a flat fee, run the numbers side by side before you sign anything.
