This is the newer, current permit record residents should monitor for the latest publicly available filings and agency correspondence.
Palm Harbor open space and wildlife advocacy
Protect the course. Protect the creek. Protect the wildlife.
Tarpon Woods is more than a golf course. It is a green neighborhood landmark, a flood-sensitive open-space system, and a habitat corridor connected to Brooker Creek. Residents are fighting to prevent a staged mitigation-bank and redevelopment path from permanently changing the community before the full impacts are honestly reviewed.
Official SWFWMD permit files — start here
Follow both Brooker Creek Mitigation Bank permit records.
SWFWMD maintains two separate public records for the proposal affecting Tarpon Woods. Use the current application to monitor new activity, and keep the original application for the earlier filing history.
Please allow time for the official record to open.
SWFWMD’s older permit system can take 15–30 seconds to build and display a record. After clicking, leave the new tab open while it loads. If it produces an error or never finishes, use the search-instructions link under that permit.

Preserve the existing course
Keep the property in its long-standing golf course use and resist incompatible redevelopment, closure, rezoning, or mitigation-bank conversion.
Expose the whole plan
Require the mitigation-bank proposal, earthwork, density-transfer concern, and possible housing impacts to be reviewed together instead of in fragments.
Protect water and wildlife
Document flooding, Brooker Creek context, threatened and protected species, habitat use, and resident impacts before irreversible work begins.
Why residents are organized
A mitigation-bank permit should not become a back door to a housing conversion.
Residents are asking for transparent, unified public review because the same land that holds the existing course also holds ponds, drainage function, wildlife movement, mature trees, and neighborhood value. A mitigation bank can sound like preservation, but it is also a regulated credit system that can support wetland impacts elsewhere. The fight is about preserving the course and making sure no staged permit process hides the real-world outcome.
Evidence timeline
A quick public-facing timeline helps residents see how the fight has unfolded and why unified review matters.
Residents choose a golf course community
Families and retirees bought homes around open space, tree cover, ponds, wildlife, and the long-standing course landscape.
Mitigation-bank application enters the public record
Residents begin tracking ERP Permit 47575.000 / App 889588 and related questions about earthwork, water, habitat, and future land use.
Town hall presentation organizes the core concerns
Residents document the mitigation-bank and density-transfer concern, flooding risk, wildlife impacts, public access issues, and neighborhood consequences.
A new permit application appears
After the original 47575.000 / App 889588 record was withdrawn/deleted, SWFWMD now lists 47575.002 / App 930235 as an incomplete individual mitigation-bank application.
The public record is being strengthened
