These three points apply to every Property Incident Records report.
Your submission goes privately to Save Tarpon Woods so authorized administrators can review incidents and identify patterns.
This website does not automatically notify the golf course, property owner, County, police, insurer, attorney, or court. You decide whom to contact.
Download or print the finished report and keep your original evidence. Save Tarpon Woods is not a permanent personal archive.
For an immediate threat to life or safety, an active emergency, or a serious injury, call 911 and seek appropriate medical care. Do not delay emergency assistance to complete a website report.
Do not enter golf-course property without permission, stand in an active roadway, or place yourself in the path of golf play to collect evidence.
Choose one of four paths. Each opens with a short explanation before asking for information.
Use one guided form for a ball in a yard, pool, lanai, roof, driveway, vehicle, or other residential area.
This includes: no-damage incidents, property damage, near misses, personal injury, and repeated intrusion.
For high grass, weeds, debris, standing water, dead vegetation, or another condition you personally observed.
Why document it? Dated records can show duration, location, and whether the condition changes.
Explain & StartFor a blocked view or safety concern near a cart path, road, driveway, sidewalk, or crossing.
Why document it? Clear locations and photographs help route concerns to the appropriate recipient.
Explain & StartAlready have a Save Tarpon Woods reference number? Add new evidence, a correction, an outside filing number, proof of delivery, or a response you received.
If a golf ball was involved, choose the first path. If not, choose the condition that best matches what you personally observed. You can use “Unknown” or “Approximate” instead of guessing.
A homeowner, tenant, resident, family member, guest, caregiver, contractor, worker, or another person with firsthand information may report. “Firsthand” means what you personally saw, heard, photographed, measured, repaired, or experienced.
The form does not set a special age requirement. A parent, guardian, or trusted adult should assist when a younger person cannot understand the privacy choices or submit accurate contact information.
You do not need to know the golfer, hole, County code, or who is legally responsible.
Report specific events and observable conditions: dates, locations, photographs, measurements, damage, near misses, witnesses, prior incidents, notices, and responses.
Do not use these forms for rumors, personal attacks, unrelated disputes, political arguments, or unsupported accusations. State what you know and label secondhand information clearly.
Report as soon as reasonably practical while details are fresh. Older events may also be reported when they help show a continuing pattern. Mark dates and times as approximate when needed.
Record significant incidents separately and use the repeated-intrusion option to summarize the longer history.
Identify the address or area, part of the property, nearest road or cart path, landmark, and suspected direction when known. If the source is unknown, say “Unknown” rather than guessing.
Examples: “Rear pool deck at the northwest corner”; “lanai screen facing the sixth fairway”; “eastbound approach to the cart-path crossing at Tarpon Woods Boulevard.”
Organized records can show whether incidents repeat, multiple properties are affected, particular locations have more problems, or damage and near misses are increasing.
The goal is to preserve accurate facts, identify patterns, support informed communication, and help residents keep useful records. A report does not prove a violation or legal responsibility.
Names, exact residential addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, private narratives, and evidence are private by default. They are not automatically included in public community statistics.
Submit what you have. You may add follow-up information later.
Use this whenever a ball enters residential property, whether or not it causes damage. This same form handles property damage, near misses, personal injury, and repeated incidents.
Photograph the ball where it landed when practical. Do not identify a golfer, hole, or tee unless personally observed or supported by reliable evidence. “Unknown” is acceptable.
Use this for observable high grass, weeds, debris, neglected landscaping, dead vegetation, standing water, or another maintenance concern on golf-course property.
Use this when vegetation or another condition blocks a driver’s, pedestrian’s, bicyclist’s, or golf-cart user’s view near a crossing, road, driveway, sidewalk, or travel area.
Provide the Save Tarpon Woods reference and new information. Knowing a reference does not reveal the private report.
Nothing has been sent outside Save Tarpon Woods. Download or print your complete copy now. Then complete the outside notices or filings that apply to your situation.
Review exactly what will appear. This version excludes Save Tarpon Woods consent choices and internal information. Remove unnecessary sensitive information and attach only evidence you intend to share.
Choose a template. If you generated a related report, matching details will be added automatically. Recipient details remain editable so the site does not invent or assume contact information.
Only work from property where you have permission and where it is safe. Do not enter the golf course to collect evidence.
Good documentation is accurate, dated, and collected lawfully. It does not require confrontation.
Save Tarpon Woods uses resident submissions to document conditions and identify community patterns. The organization is not offering permanent cloud storage, guaranteed document preservation, or an on-demand records-retrieval service for individual residents.
Although some submissions may remain available to authorized administrators, Save Tarpon Woods does not guarantee how long a complete submission or attachment will be retained or whether it can be retrieved later.
Residents should download or print their reports immediately and preserve their own original evidence. Do not submit the only copy of an important document or photograph.
Reports and attachments may be reviewed, summarized, de-identified, aggregated, archived, or deleted in accordance with approved policies and operational needs. Information that remains in Save Tarpon Woods’ possession may be preserved or disclosed when required by applicable law, a valid subpoena, court order, or other lawful process.
Possible next steps depend on what happened. These are general suggestions, not individualized legal advice.
Consider preserving your report and originals, sending written notice to verified golf-course ownership or management, retaining proof of delivery, reporting later incidents separately, and seeking professional advice when recurring safety concerns are substantial.
Consider photographing damage before repair, saving estimates and receipts, notifying the appropriate insurer or agent, sending a separate written notice to verified ownership or management, retaining proof of delivery, and seeking professional advice for significant or disputed damage.
Consider saving photographs, sending a maintenance request to verified ownership or management, and filing a separate official complaint through the appropriate Pinellas County process. Save the County case number and add it later as follow-up information.
Saving a maintenance report with Save Tarpon Woods does not file a Pinellas County code complaint.
Consider saving photographs taken from safe and lawful locations, sending the concern to verified ownership or management, separately contacting the appropriate authority when applicable, saving its case number or response, and adding follow-up to your community report.
Save Tarpon Woods is not an emergency-response service. Call 911 for an immediate emergency or serious threat to life or safety. Seek appropriate medical care when needed.
Property Incident Records reports are private by default. Resident names, exact addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses, private narratives, and uploaded evidence are not automatically published.
Authorized Save Tarpon Woods administrators may review reports for documentation, follow-up, pattern identification, anonymous statistics, advocacy planning, and possible future community use. Appropriate information may be summarized, de-identified, aggregated, archived, or deleted; no permanent-retention or future-retrieval guarantee is made.
Do not upload Social Security numbers, full insurance policy or financial-account numbers, passwords, unrelated medical records, unnecessary identification documents, or other excessive sensitive information.
A separate government complaint may be subject to that agency’s public-record requirements. Information still held by Save Tarpon Woods may be preserved or disclosed when applicable law or valid legal process requires it.
No response time is promised. Submission does not guarantee owner contact, publication, legal action, inspection, reimbursement, repairs, or corrective work.
Creates a private community record that authorized administrators can review, organize, search, and preserve. It may help identify recurring patterns.
Tells the owner or operator directly. The Property Incident Records can prepare a letter, but you must send it unless delivery is expressly confirmed.
Asks the appropriate County department to inspect and determine compliance. An Property Incident Records report does not automatically create one.
Must generally be reported through your insurance company or agent. Saving an Property Incident Records report does not notify an insurer.
Must be made directly to the appropriate emergency or law-enforcement agency. This website is not an emergency-response service.
The Property Incident Records preserves reports and provides general information. It does not create an attorney-client relationship, file a lawsuit, or give individual legal advice.
Use the Property Incident Records for structured golf-ball, damage, near-miss, maintenance, and crossing reports. Use the General Submission Portal for wildlife photographs, public records, permits, historical materials, media links, research leads, and other evidence not connected to a specific Property Incident Records report.
Your Save Tarpon Woods submission creates a private community documentation copy only. It does not notify the golf course, property owner, County, insurer, police, attorney, or any other outside recipient.
After submitting, download your copy and use the exact names, addresses, email addresses, telephone numbers, and official filing links below to send or file it separately.
To help ensure that both the party operating the golf course and the record property owner receive notice, residents are encouraged to send the same factual notice to both recipients. Ordinary resident correspondence is not represented as formal service of process.
Send the same factual outside copy to Tarpon Woods Golf Club / Jan Stephenson’s Crossroads Foundation, Inc. and Tarpon Woods Properties, LLC. Keep the sent email and proof of trackable mailing. Call 911 for an immediate threat to life or safety.
Send copies to Tarpon Woods Golf Club / Jan Stephenson’s Crossroads Foundation, Inc., Tarpon Woods Properties, LLC, and your own insurer or agent through the insurer’s verified claims process.

For a public road, right-of-way, signage, signal, or County-maintained area, also contact Pinellas County Public Works and, when traffic-specific, the Pinellas County Traffic Management Center. Private-property vegetation may also warrant a separate Code Enforcement complaint.

No. A report preserves factual information. Responsibility depends on the facts and applicable law.
Florida law does not make a golf course automatically responsible every time a ball enters neighboring property. Frequency, severity, damage, safety concerns, earlier notice, and interference with normal use of a home may matter.
Private nuisance is a legal concept involving a substantial and unreasonable interference with another person’s use and enjoyment of property. Whether a situation qualifies depends on its facts.
Bechhold v. Mariner Properties, Inc., 576 So. 2d 921 (Fla. 2d DCA 1991), involved homeowners seeking to abate an alleged private nuisance after a golf-course reconfiguration was followed by a very substantial number of golf balls entering their property. The Second District Court of Appeal reversed summary judgment for the golf-course owner because factual questions remained.
Florida law recognizes that repeated golf-ball intrusion may, depending on frequency, severity, notice, property damage, safety concerns, and the degree of interference with use of a home, support a private-nuisance claim. Liability is not automatic, and every situation depends on its particular facts.
Document frequency, severity, damage, near misses, effects on property use, prior notice, recurring trajectories, attempted corrective measures, and whether those measures helped.
Read the full case textPinellas County states that its Code Enforcement office investigates County ordinance violations in unincorporated areas. Residents should use the County's My Neighborhood tool to verify jurisdiction before filing.
The County's published yard-maintenance summary says grass and weeds reaching 12 inches over the majority of a property violate the cited section 58-331. That does not mean every isolated patch over 12 inches is automatically a violation. County staff—not this website—determine whether a violation exists.
County complaint instructions say the Access Portal provides a Record Number after submission. Preserve that number and all responses.
Save Tarpon Woods uses private resident submissions to document conditions and identify community patterns. It does not promise permanent storage, guaranteed preservation, or future on-demand retrieval of a complete report or its attachments.
Download or print your report immediately and keep your original photographs, videos, documents, correspondence, outside reference numbers, and proof of delivery. Never upload the only copy of important evidence.
Depending on what happened, consider separately notifying verified golf-course ownership or management, filing through the appropriate Pinellas County process, contacting your insurer or agent, retaining proof of delivery and outside reference numbers, and adding later developments through the follow-up report.
For an immediate emergency or serious threat to life or safety, call 911. These are general suggestions, not individualized legal advice.
Keep original photographs, videos, repair documents, and communications. Photograph safely from property where you have permission; do not enter the golf course, stand in a roadway, or interrupt active play.
Use wide, medium, and close views, record the date and location, preserve a damaging golf ball when practical, and never upload the only copy of important evidence.
The website validates and privately stores the report before issuing a Save Tarpon Woods reference. Authorized administrators can then review the report and evidence, request clarification, and identify patterns.
The reference is an internal community number—not an outside filing number or proof that anyone else received notice. No response, corrective action, reimbursement, publication, or permanent retention is promised.
Reports are private by default. Names, addresses, contact details, narratives, and uploaded evidence are not automatically published; only authorized administrators may review them.

Liability is not automatic and every situation depends on its facts. Frequency, severity, damage, safety concerns, prior notice, and interference with ordinary use of a home may matter.
Bechhold v. Mariner Properties, Inc., 576 So. 2d 921 (Fla. 2d DCA 1991), reversed summary judgment because factual questions remained in a private-nuisance case involving a very substantial number of golf balls. Read the opinion.
Saving a report here does not file a County complaint. Verify jurisdiction, use the official County process, retain its Record Number, and add that number to your Save Tarpon Woods report as follow-up.
Government submissions may be public records, and County code complaints generally require identifying complainant information. Avoid unnecessary sensitive information and review the receiving agency’s current notice.
Must something be damaged? No. Incidents, near misses, and recurring intrusion may be documented without damage.
What if details are uncertain? Use “Unknown,” “Not sure,” or “Approximate” rather than guessing.
Can I finish later? Yes. A saved device draft is unfinished and is not a submission. Evidence files must be selected again.
Can I correct a report? Use the follow-up form with the Save Tarpon Woods reference.
