New site or subdivision development in unincorporated Hillsborough goes through horizontal Site & Subdivision review before vertical construction/building permits. Hillsborough recommends a pre-submittal conference and then uses project-specific intake checklists for site plans, preliminary/final plats, minor site/subdivision, utilities, easement access, and other development orders. Depending on scope, reviews can include EPC, Fire, Stormwater, Natural Resources, Site Engineering, Transportation, Zoning, School Board, Utilities, Streets/Addresses, lift/pump stations, and design exceptions. Approval can require final signed/sealed plans, ROW fees, capacity/impact items, tree-fund requirements, bonds, and inspection coordination. StartFL should sequence site/subdivision approval before vertical permits when the project needs horizontal development review.
