It was originally designed by the Deltona Corporation and then was under their successor company Citony Corporation. There are no homeowner's associations nor dues. Membership in the Civic Association is voluntary and encouraged. Citrus Springs is a deed-restricted community and Citony transferred enforcement to the Civic Association. Under the deed restrictions, builders of new homes and homeowners making additions to their property, including pools, fencing and sheds, are required to obtain approval from the Association's Architectural Review Committee prior to construction. Citrus Springs is platted for 35,000 lots with about 32,000 set aside for residential use and developed lots are served by a central water system. Other zoning includes commercial, churches, hospital and medical, and parks and recreation. The population here should eventually rise to about 100,000 people. The current population is estimated at about 7,000+. Citrus Springs would be considered a mixed demographic middle class community. While it was started with retirees, there are now many families here. We have an elementary school and a middle school, with a second elementary school under construction and a high school to be constructed on a site that Citrus County has selected right near the middle school. Each school has about a thousand pupils. Among its amenities, Citrus Springs has a Memorial Library, two 18 -hole golf courses - nationally acclaimed El Diablo Golf Course and Citrus Springs Golf & Country Club (fees apply - membership not required), public tennis Courts, baseball field, parks, playgrounds, a 2 million dollar Community Center, numerous clubs and activities, and the Withalacoochee State Trail - start of 46 mile paved trail for walking, jogging and biking. In addition, Citrus Springs has twelve active churches, stores, businesses, restaurants, pizzeria, bank, doctors' offices, a Fire Department & EMT Unit, and a Municipal Service Benefit Unit to fund and manage infrastructure. Development continues to increase and a toll way was built to connect this county to Tampa Florida. The Suncoast Parkway now extends north to the Citrus County border and has cut the travel time in half. A further extension is planned through Citrus County, west of Citrus Springs. Three exits will give Citrus Springs easy access to this toll way and make it possible to commute to Tampa in under an hour.
