Bloomingdale
 Nestled
within the ever-growing Valrico
Florida area lies the Bloomingdale Golf community. It
is one of the largest communities in the Tampa Bay area, stretching
out from Valrico into some areas of Brandon
Florida and made up of over 40 neighborhoods and over 5000 individual
homes. The Bloomingdale community can be easily accessed
from a number of major roads in Valrico and is only a short distance
from major highways and interstate systems. The Bloomingdale community
lies within a special tax district. Special taxing districts allow
members to share common expenses equitably by adding a special tax
assessment to the property tax bill of each of the district members;
this shared common expense pays for things such as community repairs,
maintenance of common grounds, and improvements. The taxing district
assessment is a mere $100 once a year, which has been the same flat
rate that has been in effect since the special tax district was
founded in the 1980s. Some things that the special tax district
has worked on recently have been the community wide irrigation system,
landscaping, and entry ways.
Within the Bloomingdale community there is a Golf Course
that runs North and South of Culbreath. The Bloomingdale Golf
course is an amazing top-rated set of links that is frequented
by many professional golfers. This course features 7,165 yards for

to Golf Professional Dan Vona. With 50 regulation tees on the driving
range, this is the perfect course for any golfer to find their signature
shot. Some of the homes in the Bloomingdale community are located
just off the fairway.
Some of the houses within the Bloomingdale community are located
