Roofing Permit Routing — Hillsborough County
Route roof replacement, reroofing, roof repair, recover, and roof-related structural or trade work to the building authority for the parcel. The four Hillsborough jurisdictions use separate intake systems and may classify scope differently; this workflow does not assert a universal permit exemption, document list, fee, or review time.

Steps
- 1
Confirm the parcel's building authority
Determine whether the site is in unincorporated Hillsborough, Tampa, Plant City, or Temple Terrace. Mailing city, utility provider, and postal address alone do not establish permit jurisdiction.

Describe the exact roofing scope
Identify repair versus replacement, roof system and covering, recover or tear-off, deck or structural work, insulation, drainage, rooftop equipment, occupancy, and whether electrical, mechanical, solar, historic, or other work is involved. Use HillsGovHub's Online Permit Types tool to see what application type to choose, or ask the responsible authority which current permit type applies.

Use the responsible authority's current intake
Unincorporated projects use HillsGovHub; Tampa projects use Construction Services and its current application system; Plant City projects use the Building Division and its published application channel; Temple Terrace projects use City Building & Permitting and current submittal instructions.

Provide scope-specific supporting material
Submit the application and the plans, product approvals, contractor credentials, owner authorization, Notice of Commencement, structural details, or other items the authority requires for this roof and occupancy. Do not treat another jurisdiction's checklist as controlling.

Resolve conditional companion reviews
Confirm whether historic-preservation, floodplain, fire, structural, solar/electrical, mechanical, environmental, or other approvals apply. A roofing permit does not replace separate approval for related regulated work.

Pay calculated fees and obtain issuance
Use the live permit record and current jurisdiction schedule for fees. Do not begin regulated work until the responsible authority issues the required permit and any prerequisite approvals.

Complete inspections and closeout
Schedule the inspections assigned to the permit and provide required closeout material. Confirm final status with the issuing authority before treating the work as complete.
