About Us

The North Lakes Maintenance District is a Hillsborough County dependent tax district. The District was originally set up in 1985 under County ordinance #85-39. The County collects the taxes for the District and provides the ordinance or regulations that give authority to the District. Funds are derived from the County non-ad valorem tax of $70 per residential unit.

The District is responsible for maintaining the common areas throughout North Lakes. These areas include the main entrances coming into North Lakes, landscaping in the common areas alongside roadways and medians, neighborhood entrances and the outer surface of the block walls.

The District is governed by a Board of seven trustees who are elected by the public or appointed by the Board. Board members must be registered voters and reside in North Lakes. The trustees receive no compensation for their work. The Board has hired an administrator to complete many of the day-to-day details of the district. The administrator is a sub-contracted (paid) position.

Although the District does maintain the common areas in North Lakes, there are many areas that the District does not control. The District does not maintain roads, street lighting, street signs, or utility lines. Also, the District does not maintain private property or enforce deed restrictions.

Pond on Sagebrush

The pond on Sagebrush Road is owned by the 31 homeowners surrounding it and it is their responsibility to take preventive measures to control the water lettuce. With homeowners planting vegetation down to the water line, circulation around the bird sanctuary island has been impeded, which adds to the difficulty of controlling the water lettuce. North Lakes Maintenance District is not supposed to use taxpayer funds to take care of privately owned property, and when we investigated the pond on the property appraiser's website, it was clear that the pond is the property of the 31 homeowners surrounding the pond. Therefore, North Lakes Maintenance District terminated the service with Southern Aquatics, in accordance with our requirement to maintain only county property with taxpayer funds.
