About Town 'n' Country
Town 'n' Country is an unincorporated community in northwest Hillsborough County with 85,951 residents at the 2020 census. It began in 1958, when a developer bought a 525-acre dairy farm to build one of Tampa's first suburban communities, and from 1958 to 1978 nearly 8,000 single-family homes and townhouses were built.

That gives Town 'n' Country a large concentration of 1960s and 1970s homes. Many still have original copper or galvanized supply lines and cast iron drains, and later sections may have polybutylene.
What's likely in the walls of Town 'n' Country homes
The year a home was built is the best first clue to its plumbing. These are general patterns, not a diagnosis. Remodels and past repairs change what is there, and a licensed plumber confirms it on site.
- Homes from the 1950s to mid-1970s commonly have copper or galvanized supply lines and cast iron drains under the slab.
- Homes built from about 1978 to 1995 may have polybutylene, the gray plastic supply pipe that many Florida insurers will not cover.
