Area code 727 covers Pinellas County, Florida (including St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and Pinellas Park, among many other municipalities, but excluding the majority of Oldsmar), and the western third of Pasco County (including Port Richey, New Port Richey, and Holiday). For 43 years, the 13 counties around Tampa Bay, including cities such as Sarasota, Ellenton, and Port Charlotte were in area code 813. In 1998, Pinellas County and the western part of Pasco County were split into area code 727. Areas south of Hillsborough (and Tampa Bay itself) became area code 941.

727 was originally going to be introduced in an overlay plan, to overlay 813. Since overlays result in mixing area codes within the same area (issuing the new code to new numbers) and are often met with public resistance, GTE/Verizon switched the proposal to a split plan. 727 is the only palindromic area code in Florida.
