Source references checked 2026-09-29. How we check sources
Tarpon Springs operates its own Building Development and Planning and Zoning functions. A property in or affecting a designated historic area can also require Heritage Preservation review; the Heritage Preservation Board makes final decisions on Certificate of Appropriateness applications. For construction or exterior alteration in Tarpon Springs, resolve City zoning and historic status before treating the building permit as the only approval.
