Greetings, to one and all!

Ballantrae is an upscale community of 969 homes plus a day care center, all built between 2004-09. We’re located about 20 miles north of Tampa, FL in Land O’ Lakes, along SR54 a mile east of the Suncoast Parkway (SR589).

This site is designed to educate the public, through the links provided at the top, about what a CDD is and what ours does. This site provides more than just the documents mandated by state law. This site, plus its content, are both presented in the ADA-compliant format required by federal law. Additional optional content will be added to this site as it is prioritized to be formatted and uploaded with ADA compatibility.

Ballantrae’s residents have witnessed record growth in Pasco County. That includes the building of thousands of new homes in other communities and hundreds of miles of new and widened streets in an attempt to accommodate increasing traffic. A host of expanding and new businesses now provide additional jobs. A variety of new malls adds to our shopping choices. Our new local schools range from day cares through college. We’ve also seen the construction of area hospitals and emergency rooms, plus expansion of police, fire and rescue locations, that help to keep our residents safe and healthy.

There is one thing that hasn’t grown over those years: that’s the Ballantrae CDD tax rate. It was set in 2008 and has not been raised by the CDD Board in the years since!

Our community of 436 acres remains protected and retains its bucolic atmosphere. Entering over our long causeway, the large ponds to the left and right are the first of 37 ponds that, along with our extensive wetlands and conservation areas, earn our name of the “Land O’ Lakes.”

Many of our residents leave their vehicles in the driveway and walk or bike to our large, open and centrally-located park. It includes a clubhouse and pool plus a playground for young children. It also offers tennis, basketball and volleyball courts for our residents of all ages.
