If you see a crime in progress call 911

HCSO non-emergency # - 813-247-8200

Share your cell number with your immediate neighbors & invite them to call if they see something out of place...such as an open garage door, suspicious activity or unfamiliar vehicle. Reciprocal concern fosters a safe community!

Remember: Be careful of slippery gutters! Due to the natural flow of underground water, curbside gutters can be very slippery during the rainy months. Please use caution if you see a wet gutter on a sunny day!

Wall Maintenance

If your property borders on any wall, you can do your part to help extend it's structural life!

 

Avoid planting near the wall

  • Trees with surface roots and fast growing invasive species such as bamboo and Brazilian pepper trees can put extreme stress on walls causing them to lean or crack.

  • Plants with thorns hinder repair and maintenance crews, and while beautiful, bougainvillea can be treacherous to work around.

  • The clinging vines which are present on our perimeter walls put roots into the masonry, damaging it over time.  Allowing or encouraging the overgrowth of these vines weaken the walls, subjecting us to the possiblity of damage and repairs.

 

Paint the yard side of your wall!

  • Good exterior paint helps keep rain, plant growth and insects out of the wall. A sizeable portion of the budget goes to cleaning and painting the top and street side of the walls. Without good protective exterior grade paint on the homeowner's side a good deal of damage can still result.

 

If your property isn’t along one of the walls:

    You benefit from a well maintained perimeter! Property values are higher, and crime is lower in subdivisions with a well maintained perimeter.
