Providing
Comprehensive Housing Services
Looking for a place to
live? Whether you rent or buy, the Pinellas County Community Development
Department is here to help in your search for housing. Just pick up the
phone and call us today.
We can help you locate
classes on purchasing a home, inform you on what rental managers and mortgage
lenders look for when they evaluate your credit report, and show you how
to obtain your credit report. If you need help saving up for a rental deposit
or a down payment on a home, we will point you in the right direction.
We can show you how to shop for a Realtor or mortgage lender. And, if you
already own your own home, Pinellas County Community Development, along
with the cities of Largo, Clearwater and St. Petersburg, have rehabilitation
programs to improve and preserve your property.
