CITY OF BELLEAIR BEACH

What CITY OF BELLEAIR BEACH does

The City of Belleair Beach is a municipal government entity located on a barrier island in Pinellas County, Florida, serving residents and property owners within its jurisdiction. It was formally organized with the adoption of its first Comprehensive Plan in 1989, with a long-range planning horizon extending to 2045 and a five-year capital improvement horizon ending in FY 2027. The City is governed by an elected Mayor and four Council Members, with day-to-day operations managed by an appointed City Manager (Kyle Riefler), supported by a City Attorney, City Clerk, Finance, and Public Works functions, plus board and committee structures (Audit Committee, Board of Adjustment, Citizens Advisory Committee, Park and Recreation Board, Planning and Zoning Board). The City Hall headquarters is at 444 Causeway Boulevard, Belleair Beach, FL 33786.

The City delivers a portfolio of municipal services including: a marina on the Intracoastal Waterway at 3505 Gulf Boulevard (currently full with a waitlist for boat slips); 12+ parks (South Park, Bayside Park, Morgan Park, etc.) plus beach access; a 1,840 sq ft / 140-person Community Center venue rental; building permitting and inspections contracted through Pinellas County; code enforcement contracted through the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office; stormwater management under NPDES; elevation certificates for flood insurance; administrative services (parking decals, library reimbursements, permits, house checks); and recreational programming (fitness classes, monthly beach cleanups, pickleball events). Underlying technology consists of the CivicPlus government website platform, ParkMobile for paid parking, reCAPTCHA, Google Maps/Google Calendar, and Google Translate — commodity web infrastructure rather than proprietary technology.

The City generates revenue through a mix of property taxes, intergovernmental transfers, and user fees. Pricing includes parking decals at $5.35 per year, marina slip rentals at $10/foot/month for residents and $15/foot/month for non-residents (plus Florida sales tax), pre-permit application fees ranging from $40 to $800 depending on project type, Community Center venue rental, and a $100 library reimbursement program. The City has achieved a FEMA Class 6 Community Rating System designation, which provides residents with a 20% discount on flood insurance premiums — a tangible financial benefit tied to floodplain management compliance. Strategic partnerships include Pinellas County (permitting, utilities, emergency management), Waste Pro of Florida (solid waste), Duke Energy (street light repair), the National Flood Insurance Program, and the affiliated Belleair Beach Community Foundation (BBCF), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit established in 2024.
