Pine Hollow

The Hillsborough Board of County Commissioners signed Ordinance #90-39 (see PDF file below) creating Pine Hollow Special Dependent Tax District on November 5, 1990. 

​

The Pine Hollow Board of Trustees consists of seven elected or appointed members who are responsible for operation of the District.  Trustees must be registered voters with a Pine Hollow address and are considered local government officials who serve four-year terms. Officers are re-elected/re-appointed every 2 years.  Trustees are volunteers and are not compensated for their time or services.

 

The governing ordinance states that the creation and purpose of the "Pine Hollow Special Dependent Tax District is for the purpose of improvement, administration, maintenance of common areas, and employment/payment of necessary costs associated with security, and is the best method available for delivery of such services". As such, the Board is responsible for maintaining the Pine Hollow entrances including landscaping, lighting and sprinkler use and operation; cutting the adjacent county right of way grassy areas between the roads and concrete wall; and the non-structural repair/cleaning/painting/vine maintenance of the exterior parts of the perimeter wall that is visible to the public eye. The Board recognizes that all areas of grass cutting and location of all trees outside the perimeter walls are on the established county right of way. The District assures that it is in compliance with applicable County and State requirements.
