Belleair Bluffs is just under ½ of a square mile and almost completely built-out with approximately 2200 inhabitants. The community provides for its residents a wide range of living choices and a shopping capability which, while small, serves the needs of both the City and its neighboring communities, being one of the gateways to the Gulf beaches.
The City has nine miles of streets, five major storm systems and a small lake that serves as retention for fifty-two acres that surround the city (including parts of the Town of Belleair and City of Largo).
The City is a participant in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) Community Rating System (CRS). CRS is an incentive program that encourages community floodplain management activities that exceed the minimum NFIP requirements. The City is ranked as a Class 7, which results in a 15% discount on flood insurance premiums for residents in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) and a 5% discount on flood insurance premiums for those residents not in a designated SFHA.
