Ranch Mobile Board Position On “Park Patrols”

Ranch Mobile Park does not have, has not authorized, and does not sponsor or support any official patrol, Neighborhood Watch, security program, or similar surveillance program of any kind. No such program has been established by the Board of Directors, and no resident or other person is authorized to represent that any such program exists.

All patrol indicating signs, lights, and devices on the resident’s vehicle, including generic indicators that do not reference Ranch Mobile are prohibited.

The private roads of Ranch Mobile are open twenty-four (24) hours a day, and any resident may travel these roads at any time of day or night in compliance with all applicable rules of the road and community rules.

If a resident, while traveling the Park’s private roads, observes anything out of the ordinary or any activity that the resident believes may pose a safety concern, the resident shall not confront the situation but shall, if they choose, promptly report it to local law enforcement. This observe-and-report protocol is the sole authorized method by which residents may contribute to community safety while traveling the Park’s private roads.

We appreciate all of our residents working together in helping us maintain a safe community at Ranch Mobile.

Thanks,

Your Ranch Mobile Board of Governors

Important: Ranch Mobile Network Usage Policy

Ranch Mobile wireless networks are a convenience for our residents when they are utilizing the Park buildings or pool and are not intended to be used as an individual in home network.

The wireless network is not allowed to be used to connect any in home devices such as tv’s, tablets, phones, cameras, lights, printers, etc..  If any of these devices are found connected to the Ranch Mobile network from a residents home that device will be blocked from future use of the network.

Use of the Ranch Mobile network signal in individual homes creates problems, including decreased Wi-Fi availability and performance, for the Parks connected devices and for our residents who use Wi-Fi while at our facilities.

Thanks for your cooperation!

Clubhouse Remodel Update 9/2/2026

Ranch Mobile Residents,

The Board has reviewed and discussed many ideas and suggestions on how to remodel the Clubhouse after the mold remediation. As of today, we have consolidated these ideas into what we believe is the best option to move forward.

The total cost of this option is estimated to be approximately $73,000, barring any unforeseen problems.

At our meeting on Wednesday, 9/9, discussion of the Clubhouse remodel will be on the agenda. The Board Members will have a final discussion on this remodel option with the intent to bring it to a vote.

Thanks,

Your Ranch Mobile Board of Governors

New Waste Pro Trash Pickup Contract

Ranch Mobile has secured a new trash pickup contract with Waste Pro that replaces the current contract. This new contract begins 8/1/2026 and will be effective for 84 months. The terms are advantageous to our Park and will produce immediate savings and price predictability during the 7 year term of the contract.

We will continue to enjoy regular trash pickup 2 days a week, on Mondays and Thursdays, and bulk pickup on the last Saturday of each month.

Please do not include tires of any kind in your weekly or bulk pickup as each tire carries a $100 charge. This charge will be billed directly to the resident if a tire is picked up at your address.

Please review the bulk pick up acceptable items list at the link below and take note of how glass, yard waste and tree trimming material must be prepared for bulk pickup.

Thanks,

Your Ranch Mobile Board of Governors

Pinellas County See/Click/Fix

As Leaseholders of Ranch Mobile Home Park, and Pinellas County Residents, we all have a vested interest in the upkeep of the infrastructure in and around our Park. While the majority of the infrastructure in our Park is managed and maintained by Ranch Mobile internally, there are issues outside of our Parks direct control that can impact us. It is to our Park’s benefit that if you see an issue that may impact Ranch Mobile you utilize the Pinellas County See/Click/Fix program to report the issue.

The more residents that report an issue to this site the more likely that some action would be taken by the proper municipal department to resolve the issue.

The bottom line is that if you, as a resident of Ranch Mobile, feel that an external issue is important enough you should take the extra step to report it through this system.

Please feel free to ask a Board member if you are unsure if an infrastructure issue is an internal Ranch Mobile responsibility or an external City of Largo or Pinellas County issue.

A link has been added to the Ranchmobilepark.org website for easy access to this reporting site. You may also click the button below for immediate access to the See/Click/Fix site.

Thanks,

Your Ranch Mobile Board of Governors

Thanks to Larry Sterling’s leadership and our great Maintenance Team members, Paul and Dan, we were able to get the stage to a usable condition. With this temporary fix the stage is now available for residents to use as needed for Bingo, Music, Church, etc.

This step gives us time to carefully plan the next steps in completing the restoration of the Clubhouse.

We will keep you posted as we move forward!
