Before you buy a lot near Redington Beach with a plan in mind, pull up the Treasure Island zoning map before anything else: a district label decides setbacks, lot size and uses. This Treasure Island guide covers: who controls zoning for a given parcel, how to match a parcel to its district, and the questions that save a wasted trip.
Reading the Treasure Island zoning map for one lot
Inside town or city limits, zoning usually comes from the municipality, so a lot in Treasure Island follows that code. Outside those limits, near South Pasadena or Redington Beach, the county may have its own zoning, or none at all; confirm with the county office. To find out which side of the line a parcel is on: ask whether the parcel near Redington Beach is inside the boundary.
The viewer Pinellas County publishes

For property near Kenneth City, enter a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the matching parcel lights up. Out toward Madeira Beach, write down the parcel ID before closing the panel; every records desk in the county will want it.
City limits and county records
Treasure Island lies within Pinellas County, Florida, so its parcels are on the county's map. In and around St. Pete Beach, City or town hall handles things like zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, while the county keeps the tax map. Acreage past the town limits out by Gulfport generally answers to county rules rather than the town's.

Backing up the map with records
