WHAT IS PHCSA? It’s an acronym for the Palm Harbor Community Services Agency, Inc. Since Palm Harbor isn’t incorporated and doesn’t have a local government, the taxpayers decided back in 1985 to tax themselves. They created the Palm Harbor Community Services District to provide leisure services to the community. Governed by a volunteer board, PHCSA is a registered 501(c)(3) organization and a special taxing district of Pinellas County.

PHCSA manages CSA Palm Harbor, the Palm Harbor Library, East Lake Community Library, and the East Lake Recreation District. Donations made to PHCSA may be tax deductible as allowed by law.

PHOTO POLICY PHCSA and its affiliate organizations frequently take photos and/or video of programs,events and camps. Registration in a program or participation at an event is implied consent to your or your dependent’s photo being taken. This media is used solely for promotional and marketing purposes by PHCSA staff and volunteers. We do not sell these photos or images.

Business Partners As a 501(c)(3) organization that is only partially funded by tax dollars, we rely on the generous support of local businesses and organizations to help us continue to provide low-cost recreational programming and special events to North Pinellas County communities, such as Palm Harbor, Ozona, Crystal Beach and East Lake.
