Palm Harbor at a glance
Local notes: Palm Harbor
An unincorporated North Pinellas community known for golf neighborhoods like Innisbrook and quick access to the Pinellas Trail and Honeymoon Island.
Palm Harbor is unincorporated, so building permits and code enforcement go through Pinellas County, not a city. Search the county's permit records for open or expired permits before closing.
Housing stock in Palm Harbor
Palm Harbor has about 30,595 housing units. 65% are single-family homes and 16% are in buildings with 10 or more units, and 7% are mobile or manufactured homes. 29% of homes were built before 1980 and 11% were built in 2000 or later.
