Properties inside the City of Tampa use Tampa Construction Services, not Hillsborough County Development Services, for city building permits. Tampa maintains separate residential permit paths for additions, new construction, remodeling, pools/spas, generators, roofing, accessory structures, screen enclosures, driveways, seawalls, shutters, siding/stucco, and electrical/plumbing/mechanical work. Residential permits on these pages apply to single-family residences and duplexes; condominiums use commercial permitting. StartFL must resolve city limits before selecting a Tampa permit path and should not send a Tampa mailing address in unincorporated county to the City.
