A 270-space mobile home park in Belleview, FL. The park runs its own regulated water system, so it — not a city utility — supplies and is accountable for the water at each lot. County records put it on 56.9 acres, built in 1985.
270 spaces make this a mid-sized mobile home park as these things go, though the registry doesn't report current vacancies. Zone X on FEMA's map keeps this park outside the special flood hazard area, for whatever that's worth against a map that gets redrawn. Working from home is realistic nearby — roughly 100% of homes report broadband at 100/20 Mbps or better, gigabit reaching a real share of homes. Grocery, pharmacy, and clinic access here is middling — not next door, not a long haul, 4–7 miles.

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.

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.

How much is lot rent at Smith Lake Shores?
Smith Lake Shores doesn't publish its lot rent anywhere we could find, and we won't guess at a figure. Call the park office to ask. For scale: HUD's FY 2026 fair market rent for a 2-bedroom rental around Marion County is $1,373/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 Smith Lake Shores?
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 Smith Lake Shores come from?
Smith Lake Shores operates its own public water system, registered with the EPA as FL3424628 ("SMITH LAKE SHORES VILLAGE"). That means the park — not a city utility — supplies and is accountable for the water at each lot. You can look up its monitoring and compliance record by that id in the EPA's Safe Drinking Water Information System.
