Citrus Park sits in northwest Hillsborough County between Westchase and Carrollwood, and it’s unincorporated, so most mailing addresses read “Tampa.” We drive in from Seminole, about 21 miles, and plan every job here as a scheduled visit.

A mix of 1990s subdivisions and newer builds
The Census counts about 28,800 people in Citrus Park, with a median home built in 1993. Roughly 21.7% of the housing has gone up since 2010, one of the higher shares around this part of the county, and about 66% of homes are owner-occupied (ACS 2020–2024). The Census Bureau maps the community at just over 10 square miles of land. That spread means two kinds of calls: thirty-year-old panels that are filling up as families add pools, workshops and second refrigerators, and newer homes where the builder-grade panel has no room left for an EV charger.
Citrus Park at a glance (U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2020–2024 5-year estimates):
- Residents: about 28,804
- Median year built: 1993
- Built before 1980: 10.2%
- Built 2010 or later: 21.7%
- Owner-occupied: 66.4%
- Single-family detached: 60.1%
Pools, lanais and full garages
About 60% of Citrus Park homes are single-family detached and about 14% are townhomes or other attached homes (ACS 2020–2024), so we split our time between houses with a pool, lanai and two-car garage and townhomes where the panel sits in a small utility closet. In the townhomes, an EV charger or a new kitchen circuit often comes down to how much room is left in that closet panel, and we check that before quoting.
1990s Citrus Park homes taking on new loads
About 21.7% of homes in Citrus Park were built in 2010 or later. Newer homes usually have modern panels and wiring, so our work there is about adding capability: a Level 2 EV charger, a generator inlet, whole-house surge protection, extra outlets in a garage workshop, or permanent eave lighting. Builder panels can fill up fast, so we check spare spaces and run a load calculation before recommending anything.
Citrus Park townhome communities
Roughly 14.0% of Citrus Park’s housing is attached, such as villas, duplexes and townhomes. For these, the questions are usually about capacity in a small panel and what the association allows outside. We check both before quoting and help you with the approval paperwork.
Storm season planning in Citrus Park
Citrus Park covers about 10.16 square miles of land and 0.66 of water (Census Gazetteer). Look up your evacuation zone by address on the Hillsborough County evacuation lookup before June 1. About 90% of homes here heat with electricity (Census table B25040), so long outages hit heating, cooling and hot water at once. That’s where an inlet and interlock or a standby generator earns its keep. After a storm, keep any flooded panel, outlet or meter off until it’s checked; see our flooded electrical guide.
Citrus Park work we schedule
Requests we hear most from Citrus Park owners:
- Panel upgrades when a 1990s panel has no open spaces left
- EV charger installation, often a 240-volt circuit run to an attached garage
- Whole-house surge protection for homes packed with electronics
- Recessed and exterior lighting for remodels
- SPAN smart panels for owners who want circuit-level control
Eave lighting in Citrus Park
Citrus Park’s two-story homes tend to have long, continuous soffits, which is exactly where JellyFish track belongs. We mount it under the eaves and along the gable rakes beneath the overhang, never on the shingles or the ridge, and run each pitched garage gable up one side and down the other. The controller goes in the garage and usually plugs into an outlet that’s already there. One option we offer, though it isn’t the standard layout, is splitting the house into a front zone and a back zone so the street side can glow for the holidays while the back stays dark.
Planning a Citrus Park layout: on the site visit we measure every eave and gable, note where the downspouts and gutters interrupt the fascia, and mark the garage outlet the controller will use. You then get a free design preview and a written quote.
Some neighbors call it permanent holiday lighting, others soffit lighting. It is one system for every season. See how it works on our JellyFish Lighting page, compare options on permanent lighting, or read about JellyFish in Hillsborough County. You can also get a free design preview of your home.
Booking across the Courtney Campbell
Getting here means the Courtney Campbell Causeway and the Veterans Expressway, so we don’t promise same-day repair times in Citrus Park. We set a site visit, give an itemized written quote, and book the install day with the permit. For an outage tonight, a Tampa-side electrician will reach you faster.
Workmanship is covered for 2 years, or 5 years for Member Care Plan members, and JellyFish components carry a 5-year parts warranty. Financing is available through Acorn Finance, subject to credit approval.

Citrus Park questions
Is Citrus Park part of the City of Tampa? No. It’s an unincorporated community in Hillsborough County, even though many addresses use Tampa. We confirm the details from the parcel and pull the permit either way.
Our newer home’s panel is full. Do we need a bigger service? Not always. We run a load calculation first. Sometimes a panel replacement or a smart panel solves it without increasing the service size.
Can you put permanent lights on a two-story house? Yes. The track goes under the eaves on both levels and along the gable rakes under the overhang, and we can set the front and back as separate zones if you want that option.
Do you install EV chargers in townhomes? Yes, when the panel and parking location allow it. We check capacity and the wire route, and we’ll help with any association approval.
How old are most homes in Citrus Park? Fairly new: median year built 1993, and about 22% went up in 2010 or later (Census ACS). Builder panels are often full, so we check open spaces first.
Can a landlord in Citrus Park book you? Yes. About 34% of homes here are renter-occupied (Census ACS). Tenants can call for urgent problems; upgrades need the owner’s approval.
