Tampa Palms Owners Association

What Tampa Palms Owners Association does

Tampa Palms Owners Association, Inc. (TPOA) is a Florida not-for-profit corporation organized under Chapter 720 of Florida Statutes to serve as the homeowners association for the Tampa Palms master-planned community in Tampa, Florida. The TPOA operates under a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions recorded on February 27, 1986, and functions in tandem with the Tampa Palms Community Development District (CDD), a unit of special-purpose government established by the Florida Governor and Cabinet on June 13, 1982, under Florida Statute 190. Together, the two entities govern 4,100 acres encompassing 28 villages that range from estates to townhomes, single-family custom homes, and apartment homes.

TPOA's core service is community standards enforcement: it administers deed restrictions (CC&Rs), conducts architectural review through its Residential Modification Committee (RMC), coordinates covenant and fining committees, and operates a community liaison function for resident inquiries. The CDD handles infrastructure and maintenance, including 69 stormwater retention ponds, 54 entrance monument signs with granite/gold lettering and LED lighting, 133 decorative street signs and 109 traffic control signs, 10 lake fountains, median and cul-de-sac landscaping along community boulevards, street lighting, and a three-park recreation system (Compton Park, Amberly Park, Oak Park, Hampton Park, and River Park). The CDD also co-governs environmental stewardship programs in partnership with the City of Tampa, Hillsborough County EPC, and the Southwest Florida Water Management District, including watershed monitoring of Cypress Creek and the Hillsborough River.

TPOA is funded through annual homeowner assessments (FY 2025-26 rate of $332.00 per residential unit), while the CDD is funded through non-ad valorem assessments collected by the Hillsborough County Tax Collector as authorized by Florida Statute 190. Both entities are governed by elected and appointed boards (CDD Board of Supervisors meets the second Wednesday of each month at 6 PM; TPOA Board meets the third Tuesday). Revenue supports ongoing maintenance, architectural compliance, community events, parks operations, and environmental programs. The CDD reported a $5.1 million cash balance (net of liabilities) after the first seven months of FY 2025-26. Day-to-day operations are led by a small professional management team (Community Director Brian Koerber, Community Liaison Leslie Caruthers, Park Supervisor Dasch Bergmann), with contracted financial and property management services provided by University Properties and Haven Property Management Solutions.
