Zoning & Land Use
Rezoning and Comprehensive-Plan Amendment Routing — Unincorporated Hillsborough County
Route an unincorporated Hillsborough land-use change to the correct process. A standard-district rezoning, planned-development rezoning, modification to an existing planned development, and amendment to the adopted Comprehensive Plan or Future Land Use Map are distinct actions. A project may need both a plan amendment and rezoning, but one approval does not replace the other.
Zoning Variance and Special-Use Routing — Unincorporated Hillsborough County
Route an unincorporated Hillsborough zoning request to the correct current County action. A variance, special-use hearing, administrative action, rezoning, appeal, and other zoning request are distinct procedures with different eligibility, applications, fees, notice, review, hearing, and appeal consequences.
