Where Business Grows and People Stay

Citrus County offers more than a place to work—it offers a place to live well. From affordable housing and strong healthcare to outdoor access and a tight-knit community, this region supports the people behind your business. Companies that locate here benefit from a lifestyle that helps attract and retain talent.

What Makes Citrus County Different

Natural Beauty with Daily Access
Citrus County is home to over 50,000 acres of protected land, including springs, rivers, state forests, and wildlife preserves. Kayaking, fishing, hiking, and boating are part of everyday life. The county includes access to the Withlacoochee State Forest, Homosassa Springs, and the Gulf of America.

Cost of Living Advantage
Compared to major metro areas, Citrus County offers lower housing costs, no state income tax, and far less congestion. Employees keep more of what they earn, and companies can offer competitive pay in a more affordable market.

Healthcare Access
Citrus County is served by local hospitals, clinics, and specialty providers, with access to larger regional healthcare systems currently under development. Wellness is supported by parks, trails, and a lifestyle that encourages outdoor activity.

Work-Life Balance
The pace of life here supports retention. Teams enjoy shorter commutes, strong local schools, and time to enjoy where they live. Whether it’s walking the trails, fishing a local spring, or joining a youth sports league, the community offers more than a place to clock in and out.
