Unincorporated Hillsborough County
This profile applies only when an address is outside Tampa, Plant City, and Temple Terrace. Development Services expressly serves unincorporated Hillsborough County. Code Enforcement's general land/property enforcement is also limited to the unincorporated area, although some specialized county regulatory programs apply countywide. Utility provider must be resolved by service area because City of Tampa Water serves some unincorporated properties.
