The 863 area code was created in 1995 as a split from the original 863 that once covered all of central Florida. Today, 863 is exclusively tied to Polk County, located in central Florida. It covers iconic neighborhoods like:
Lakeland – the bustling heart of the county
Winter Haven – a vibrant, growing community
Bartow – the historic seat of the county
For generations, 863 has represented Polk County pride, offering the best of county life with fast access to all cities.
The 863 area code operates in the Eastern Time Zone (ET)–the same time zone as Polk County. This is important for businesses and professionals who need to stay in sync with local clients, suppliers, and partners. Whether you’re scheduling calls, running local ads, or managing customer support, having a 863 number means you’re aligned with Eastern Standard Time (EST) in winter and Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) in summer.
