Pinellas County set a goal in June 2021 to complete 587 needed sidewalk repairs over 24 months as part of the new Sidewalk Management Program for enhanced pedestrian safety. As of April 2023, 100% of that goal has been met with Public Works maintenance crews accomplishing this in just 22 months!
Coming soon to unincorporated Pinellas County, flood insurance premium discounts will increase from 35% to 40%, providing estimated total savings of $10 million to residents and businesses! The discount will go into effect on April 1, 2024, due to an improvement in the County’s rating from Class 3 to Class 2 in the National Flood Insurance Program Community Rating System.
