Inverness is the seat of Citrus County, a small city of roughly 7,900 people surrounded by lakes and state forest. Golf carts fit the pace of life here, and several residential communities permit them on internal roads. General street use on public roads varies by designation, so it pays to know the local rules before you buy.
The dealer base in Inverness itself is thin — one storefront on the south end of town — but Homosassa, Lecanto, Crystal River, and Dunnellon are all within a short drive and together offer sales, rentals, and repair services.

Where you can drive a golf cart in Inverness
Inverness permits cart use in specific communities; general use on public streets varies and is not blanket-approved across the city. Under Florida law, a standard golf cart may only be operated on streets that have been locally designated for cart use — typically roads posted at 30 mph or less — and only between sunrise and sunset. Drivers 18 and older must carry a valid ID; since October 2023, anyone under 18 needs at least a learner's permit to operate a cart on a public road.
A low-speed vehicle (LSV) is a different category: it must be titled, registered, and insured, but it can travel on any road posted at 35 mph or less without a special street designation. LSVs require headlights, turn signals, mirrors, seat belts, and a VIN. If you plan to use a cart beyond a gated community or a designated cart path, an LSV conversion or a purpose-built LSV model is worth considering. Hidden Creek carries Honor LSV models, and the nearby shops in Homosassa and Lecanto can advise on conversions, which typically cost $2,500–$5,000.

Batteries, service, and keeping your cart running
Central Florida's heat is hard on lead-acid batteries. A pack that might last four years in a cooler inland climate often needs replacement in three years or fewer here. A replacement lead-acid pack typically runs $900–$1,800; a lithium conversion typically costs $2,000–$4,500 but pays back over time through longer life and lower maintenance. Hidden Creek's website specifically lists lithium inventory, and the repair shops in Homosassa — particularly Capt Jim and Jenkins Carts & Motorsports — handle service work for Citrus County residents.
Routine annual service — cleaning, battery checks, brake inspection, tire pressure — typically runs $150–$300 at a Florida shop. Controller or motor repairs, if needed, typically fall in the $300–$900 range depending on the fault. Keeping up with annual service is especially important in a humid, warm climate where corrosion on terminals and connectors can shorten the life of both batteries and electronics.
