If your subdivision has a Home Owners Association (HOA), you have the option of dealing directly with Duke Energy for lighting. If not, you can go through Pinellas County’s multi-step, petition based, Street Lighting District (SLD) program.
With our SLD program, the County pays Duke Energy monthly for the lighting, however, the cost of the lighting, PLUS an administrative fee, will be recouped from the property owners within the district every year via a non-ad valorem assessment on their property taxes. The costs (per property owner) will depend on the size of the district, how many lights, how many properties within the district, etc. We cannot estimate the costs till after Duke Energy creates a lighting plan and lighting proposal.
The contact person will receive the petitions and a map highlighting the area to be petitioned, and is responsible for collecting the signatures. A minimum of 60% of the property owners (renters cannot vote) within the SLD must endorse the SLD before the petitions can be considered for approval. The contact person is also required to obtain notification of 100% of all property owners in the SLD whether they endorse or do not endorse the creation of the proposed SLD.
Dealing directly with Duke Energy will save you the petition process and administrative fees every year. If you are only looking for one of two lights adjacent to your property, you will need to work directly with Duke Energy. Our SLD program is designed to encompass entire subdivisions.
If you would like more information on the SLD program, or want contact info for Duke Energy, please contact Jim Cannon at 727-464-8818. Please visit www.pinellascounty.org/surveys/PublicWorks to tell us how we are doing, Thank You!

So the county isn't responsible to light there own roadway? It's the private utility ? Doesn't make a lot of sense ? Yet I'd expect not much less living here.
Thanks I'll try duke
