The numbers
Counted in October 2026 from Tracer’s Florida property data (the Florida Department of Revenue’s statewide 2025 parcel roll), with Pinellas picked as the county. Each count names the Request Data filters behind it. “Absentee” means no homestead exemption, so second homes and recent buyers who haven’t filed are in it too.
single-family homes with a St. Petersburg address on the 2025 roll, government owners left out.
28% of them have no homestead exemption: usually a rental, a second home or an inherited house.
5% of the city’s homes: the tax bill goes to an address outside Florida (second homes and rentals alike).
10% are owned by an LLC, corporation or trust. Tracer traces them to a person where it can (how).
95% of the 82,052 with a year built on the roll were built in 2011 or earlier.
of Pinellas County’s 62,831 absentee-owned single-family homes have a St. Petersburg address.

Reach the owner
7,927 of St. Petersburg’s single-family homes (10%, against 9% statewide) are owned by an LLC, corporation or trust, so the name on the roll isn’t a person you can call. Pulling all of them is $40. Tracer works a company owner toward a person: a person named in the company’s name, otherwise its mailing address (marked lower confidence). To find the managers yourself, look the company up on Sunbiz: the LLC owner lookup guide shows how.
