A small city on the bay, halfway to the Gulf.

Send me matchesWhat's my home worth?

South Pasadena sits on Boca Ciega Bay between St. Petersburg and the Gulf beaches, with about 0.6 square miles of land, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. In 1942 it was eight buildings along one main street, then called Pass-A-Grille Way. The city was incorporated on July 1, 1955. Its link to St. Pete Beach, the Corey Causeway, is named for Jack Corey, chairman of the Pinellas County Commission, who championed the crossing; the county named it in his honor after his death in 1929.

Small places reward a closer look. Just out of curiosity, what would you want within a few minutes of your door?

Places

A few of our favorite places

  • Boca Ciega Bay

    The bay has drawn people here from the start; the city's own history remembers its blue-green water and tall Australian pines. Today it frames the city's waterfront.

  • On the SunRunner

    PSTA's SunRunner stops in South Pasadena on its route between downtown St. Petersburg and St. Pete Beach, a little over half an hour end to end.

  • Neighbors on both sides

    St. Pete Beach is just across the bay, and Gulfport's waterfront district and downtown St. Petersburg are a short drive east.

Worth knowing

Near the water, a few things to know

  • Flood zones

    Much of the shoreline here lies in FEMA flood zones, and the zone can change from one street, or one lot, to the next. Pinellas County's flood map service shows the zone for any address and whether a lender is likely to require flood insurance.

  • Elevation certificates

    A surveyor's elevation certificate records how high a building sits compared with the flood map. It is useful for insurance quotes and permits; a seller may already have one, and the county keeps copies for many buildings permitted in the floodplain.

  • FEMA's 50% rule

    In a FEMA special flood hazard area, if the cost to improve or repair a building reaches 50% of the building's market value, the whole building must be brought up to current floodplain standards, which can mean elevating it. Some communities count improvements over several years or use a lower threshold, so the local floodplain office is the place to ask before planning a renovation.

  • Insurance and disclosure

    A standard homeowners policy does not cover flood, and windstorm coverage is often quoted on its own terms, so it helps to request quotes early in the inspection period. Florida sellers of residential property give buyers a flood disclosure at or before the signing of the contract.

How much are property taxes on a home in South Pasadena?

It depends on the price and whether it will be your homestead. In Florida, a sale resets the assessed value, so the seller's bill is rarely what you will pay.

It is an estimate for planning, not a tax bill. Estimate yours.
