Clubhouse Update
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!
Thanks,
Your Ranch Mobile Board of Governors
Good Evening Ranch Mobile Residents,
Our Clubhouse is now open with limitations. The stage is unavailable at this point as it currently does not have a floor and the kitchen is not available. The library is available, however, 1/2 of the books are set up on tables as we had to remove part of the library due to mold.
Residents can use the tables for activities. Also, groups that use the stage can set up on the floor in front of the stage if that works out for them.
Our goal is to have the Clubhouse 100% Operational by 11/1/2026 at the latest.
The reconstruction of the Clubhouse will be a topic at our 7/22/2026 Board Meeting.
Thanks,
Your Board of Governors
Good Morning Ranch Mobile Residents,
We received the results of the mold assessment on Tuesday.
The mold remediation was successful. The mold assessment came back with normal results!
We are going to do some regular mopping and cleaning Today and Tomorrow and the main part of the clubhouse will be open on Thursday at 12:00 Noon.
Our next focus will be on the reconstruction/remodel of the interior of the clubhouse to make it a vibrant and exciting place to gather!
Thanks,
Your Ranch Mobile Board of Governors
The mold remediation in our Clubhouse should now be completed by 7/15/2026. The final step in this process will be a Mold Assessment report verifying that the remediation was successfully completed. This test will be on Monday, 7/13. As soon as the Mold Assessment testing is successfully completed the clubhouse will be turned over to us for use and reconstruction.
We will be reaching out to the Club Presidents and the Activity Leaders in our Park for input that they may have in making our Clubhouse a vibrant and exciting place.
If you have any ideas for our Clubhouse, please feel free to reach out via email at rranchmobile1@brighthouse.com or a note to the office with your thoughts. Make sure to sign your name to any communication you have with us so that we can get back to you if we have any questions. We, as the Park Board, will look at any thoughts presented to us for consideration by our Residents and will make the final design decisions for the interior of the Clubhouse.
We want to take this opportunity of a clean slate in our Clubhouse to enhance the looks and functionality of this building as we move into the future.
If you have any input please share by Tuesday, 7/21/26, so that we can review the information we have at our 7/22/26 Board Meeting.
Our target is to be 100% complete by 11/1/2026.
Thanks.
Your Board of Governors
Our mold remediation efforts continue in the Clubhouse this week.
The next step after remediation will be to remodel the areas of the Clubhouse that were impacted.
Our goal for this limited remodel is to end up with a vibrant and exciting spot where we can gather with our fellow residents and enjoy the many activities held there!
Please see the progress video from today, 7/8/2026.
Current office hours are:
Monday & Tuesday: Open 9AM to 3PM
Wednesday: Open 9AM to 2PM
Thursday & Friday: Open 9AM to 3PM
We have contracted with a restoration company to perform mold remediation in the Clubhouse. Work will be performed in the main clubhouse area, the stage area, the kitchen area and the bathrooms. As part of this project the HVAC system will also be cleaned. When this work is finished the contractor will coordinate a final mold asessment to ensure that the work was completed successfully.
The entire Clubhouse building, including the kitchen and the bathrooms, will be completely inaccessible to everyone from 7/6 through 7/10. Access will not be granted to anyone until the remediation is complete.
After the final mold assessment is returned to us verifying that the work is completed successfully the Clubhouse will again be available to residents.
During the remediation there will be some deconstruction of materials in the Clubhouse to access the areas that need to be cleaned. Once we know how much demolition needs to be done to properly clean the Clubhouse we will then determine the best path forward to rebuilding the parts of the Clubhouse that were deconstructed. At this point we are anticipating that the stage subfloor will need to be removed, some or all of the Clubhouse paneling may need to be removed, and some or all of the drywall in the clubhouse, kitchen and bathrooms will need to be removed up to 3 to 4 feet from the floor. We will be getting bids from restoration companies to complete the reconstruction as soon as we determine what needs to be rebuilt or reinstalled. The extent of reconstruction will not be known until sometime during the week of 7/6.
After the Clubhouse is cleaned and turned back over to us, some activities that use the stage or the kitchen may need to modify how they set up until all reconstruction is completed. We do not know at this time how long it will take to complete the reconstruction.
Our goal is to get the mold remediation completed 100% by 7/10 so that activities can resume and then get the reconstruction completed as quickly as possible after that. Our ultimate final completion date is 11/1/26 to ensure that we are ready to kick off our 2026/2027 Ranch Mobile season with a bang!
If any timing changes with this project we will keep you informed.
Thanks,
Your Board of Directors
Dear Residents,
In accordance with our ongoing efforts to uphold the Ranch Mobile Rules and Regulations, we kindly remind ALL residents with pets that you are required to have a current rabies certificate on file in the office. Additionally, please notify the office if your pet is still in your care.
In addition, residents residing in the non-pet section with Emotional Support Animals are required to have an ANNUAL letter from their doctor, confirming the necessity of the animal on file in the office.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
If you receive a letter from Duke Energy with only an address and no name requesting payment, it is a scam. According to Duke Energy, they will never send correspondence to you without your name on it.
The June 2026 newsletter from the Largo PD is about scams and alerts. Please click on the link below for some valuable information.
You recently received a notificatin about pictures of our new water main valves. This page was intended for Park documentation of the replacement project and you will not be able to open it. The password that you have been using to access the resident only sections of our Park’s website is still current.
If you see or talk to Larry Sterling please thank him for Leading the Gate Valve infrastructure improvement project.
We think we found the last 2 old valves today that we have been looking for! Excitement was in the air as Paul dug deep through dirt, sand, ants and termites to finally uncover a long lost cast iron valve well cap!
Good Job Larry and Paul!
Thanks!
We have added a Financial Page to our Park Website. Currently, on this page is our 2026 Ranch Mobile, INC. budget and the Year End 2025 Financial Statement.
This information has always been available to you from the Office. However, the Board feels that it is important to make these documents easier for each Ranch Mobile Resident to access.
Per the Master Lease, each annual operating budget is due as close to November 15th of each year as possible. See the excerpt from the Master Lease below concerning our annual budget:
Section 5. The Board is hereby vested with the right, power, duty and authority to assess
and levy on the 15th day in November of each year, or as soon thereafter as may be convenient, an
annual budget to provide for the proper management, maintenance, taxes and insurance and
operation of RANCH MOBILE, INC. Ad valorem taxes on site improvements by Lessees shall
be paid by the particular Lessee.

Thanks!
FYI………….
We have installed a new motion activated 4 camera security system in our Park. Cameras are mounted in the Pool area and on the South side of the Clubhouse and Maintenance Garage.
This camera system will help maintain the safety and security of our Park.
Thanks.
You may notice members of our Ranch Mobile Maintenance Team working in your backyard this Spring and Summer. They will be clearing dirt and debris from around the Park owned inground water shutoffs to your individual homes for easy access. They have 488 of these to clear.
The water will not be shutoff for this project.
Thanks.
FYI………..
Due to the lack of rain and the warmer temperatures in our area our Park’s Lake has developed a larger than normal algal bloom. Our Lake’s condition was discussed at the Wednesday Operational Board Meeting.
We contacted The Lake Doctor, the contractor that manages Swan Lake on a monthly basis, after the meeting. The Lake Doctor came out on Thursday, 4/30, and treated the Lake to help reduce the algal bloom.
You will also notice that the fountains, which act as aerators for the Lake, will be running 24 hours a day. The round the clock operation of the aerators during this drought will help to improve the health of the Lake.
The rain forecasted for Saturday would be another factor that would help to resolve this issue!
Your Board of Governors
