Sun City Center Utilities Setup: Electric, Water, Gas, Internet
Direct phone numbers and exactly which providers serve which streets across Sun City Center, Kings Point, Renaissance, and the wider 55+ community south of Tampa.
Sun City Center is unincorporated Hillsborough County, which keeps the Sun City Center utility companies list short and predictable. TECO is the Sun City Center electric provider for every address, Hillsborough County handles water and trash, and Peoples Gas reaches most of the older residential streets. If you're closing on a home in Sun City Center proper, Kings Point, or the Renaissance community, this is the call sheet for setting up utilities in Sun City Center before move-in.
Electric in Sun City Center | Tampa Electric (TECO)
TECO is the only Sun City Center electric provider, covering every address from the SR-674 corridor through Kings Point and out toward Wimauma. New service is set up online or by phone, with same-day or next-business-day activation in most cases.
Renaissance and the newer Kings Point phases are on hardened distribution lines that came in with the master-planned builds, so outage frequency in those areas is low. Older central Sun City Center, especially along Cherry Hills Drive and the original 1960s streets, is on legacy overhead lines that are more vulnerable in summer storms. TECO offers a senior-account auto-pay option that's worth setting up before move-in.
Water and Sewer | Hillsborough County Public Utilities
Sun City Center is on Hillsborough County water and sewer for nearly every address. Your monthly Sun City Center water bill comes from the county. Set up service through the county's Customer Service Center, online or by phone.
Kings Point is a condo community with master-metered water in many sub-associations. That means a portion of your water bill flows through the HOA rather than as a separate county bill. Pull the HOA documents during due diligence to see exactly how it's split. Some Kings Point villages bundle water into the monthly maintenance fee; others bill it separately.
Gas in Sun City Center | TECO Peoples Gas
Peoples Gas serves most of the original Sun City Center streets and large pockets of Renaissance. Newer Kings Point phases and some Renaissance villages are electric-only by design, especially the all-electric clubhouses and townhome rows. Verify with the seller disclosure before you assume gas service exists at the property.
Trash and Recycling | Hillsborough County Solid Waste
Hillsborough County Solid Waste handles residential pickup for all Sun City Center addresses outside Kings Point. Service is automatic with the property and billed annually on your property tax statement, not as a monthly bill. Inside Kings Point, trash is typically bundled into the HOA dues with private contractor pickup, so the county solid waste fee may not apply.

A few Sun City Center notes
Sun City Center is one of the largest 55+ active-adult communities in Florida, and HOA structure shapes the utility math more here than almost anywhere else in Tampa Bay. Many sub-associations bundle internet, trash, basic cable, or all three into the monthly HOA dues. The headline electric and water bills look low precisely because other costs are pre-loaded into the HOA. Read the HOA budget line by line during due diligence so you compare apples to apples.
Kings Point has its own private streets and gates, and trash and water are often master-metered to the village. That means activating service can look different than a typical county address. Renaissance is more like a standard subdivision, with individual TECO and county accounts, but a few of the newer attached-villa rows still go through HOA bulk billing.
Sun City Center sits inland, but flood zone matters near the canal corridors and the south end toward Cypress Creek. Pull the FEMA flood zone from the federal flood map before writing an offer. A Vreeland Real Estate agent can pull the HOA budget, the flood zone, and the village-level utility setup for any Sun City Center address before you write an offer. That's the kind of due diligence a Vreeland Real Estate agent who actually works the south end of Hillsborough does.
