Distances are straight-line, so the drive is longer. Internet and neighborhood figures describe the surrounding town — and the rent benchmark, wildfire rank, and tornado count the wider county — not this park’s own lots. The fair market rent is apartment-style rent (HUD’s area benchmark), not this park’s lot rent. Rent limits are not legal advice.
Worth knowing
This park runs its own regulated public water system (EPA id FL6291087), drawing from its own groundwater well. The system reports serving about 140 residents through 176 service connections.
For residents
- Water billing: if your park submeters water, Florida bills it at the cost of service with the combined service charge capped at 9% (§367.022(9)) — there's no markup on the water itself. Check the math free with the water submeter calculator, or read the Florida water-billing guide.
- Paying rent: ask the park office how they take payment. Parks that run on Lot Sidekick hand residents clear, itemized rent and water bills.
- Thinking about moving here? What to ask a park before you rent a lot, and what lot rent covers and how it goes up.

How much is lot rent at Little Manatee Isles?

For scale: HUD's FY 2026 fair market rent for a 2-bedroom rental around Hillsborough County is $1,977/mo — that's apartment-style rent for the area, and lot rent (the ground under a home you own) usually runs well below it. If you run this park, you can add your real lot rent to this page for free.
How much can lot rent go up at Little Manatee Isles?
Florida has no statewide cap on lot rent, but Chapter 723 requires 90 days' written notice (Statute §723.037), and an increase justified by comparable parks must be disclosed — residents can request mediation.
Where does the water at Little Manatee Isles come from?
Little Manatee Isles operates its own public water system, registered with the EPA as FL6291087 ("BEDROCK LITTLE MANATEE").

Park value estimate
The county roll carries no assessed value for this park, so here's a comparison instead. Across 110 assessed parks in Hillsborough County the median works out to $35,000 per space. At 167 spaces that puts a comparable assessment somewhere around $5.8M — call it $4.5M to $8.1M, which is the middle half of the county's range.
These are county assessments for tax purposes, not a market appraisal and not an asking price. A park's real value turns on its rent roll, its expenses and its utilities — none of which are in a public record.
