An
ideal place to work, live and play, Oldsmar is situated at the top of Tampa Bay between
Tampa and The Gulf of Mexico. Oldsmar is the perfect mix of small town charm and
progress. The area boasts thoroughbred horse racing, a 30-acre flea market and an
exceptional assortment of salt water or fresh water fishing locations, just to name a few
activities. The City of Oldsmar is a community offering a blend of business and
residential opportunities. Oldsmar is located in northern Pinellas County and is one of
the fastest growing areas in both population and new industry. The county leads the
area in retail sales, new businesses and manufacturing development, with the largest
concentration of medical manufacturing in the state. The proximity of two more growing
counties, Hillsborough and Pasco, offers a nearly limitless labor supply for Oldmar's
businesses.
Greater Oldsmar is certainly affordable. The state of
Florida has no personal income tax. Sales tax in Pinellas County is 7% (food and medicine
is exempt). Oldsmar's ad valorem tax rate is 4.73 mils, unchanged since
1990. Excellent schools and pre-schools offer services to Oldsmar families. From
beaches to golf courses, Florida's gorgeous weather allows for year-round fun in the sun.

sports teams including The Buccaneers, The Lightening, The Devil Rays, The Mutiny and The
Storm! In Orlando, which is close by, we have The Magic, a professional NBA team. Go

The building boom of the eighties increased the population of the
City, as well as enticing new industry. Today, the people of Oldsmar enjoy the small
town atmosphere with the conveniences of a new city hall, library, elementary school,
paved streets and improved treatment plant. Oldsmar is sensitive and responsive to
the needs and concerns of the entire community.
