Where we pour around Tampa
The core area is Tampa itself and the unincorporated Hillsborough County communities east, south and north of it. Unincorporated areas don't have a city government of their own, so the county handles their permits.
| Area | Permit office | Worth checking |
|---|---|---|
| City of Tampa | City of Tampa | The City's own accessory structure threshold |
| Brandon | Hillsborough County | Flood zone before relying on the shed exemption |
| Riverview | Hillsborough County | Flood zone on low-lying lots |
| Valrico | Hillsborough County | Setbacks on larger lots for sheds and shops |
| Seffner | Hillsborough County | Soil evaluation for house and building slabs |
| Town 'N' Country | Hillsborough County | Exposure C wind design near the bay |
| Carrollwood | Hillsborough County | Trees 12 in and wider near the work area |

Not sure which rules cover your lot? The Tampa and Hillsborough slab permit guide and the flood zone guide explain each one, and the concrete slab contractor Tampa FL page covers the work itself.

The wider Tampa Bay area runs from Brandon across the bay to Clearwater and St. Petersburg in Pinellas County, and north toward Wesley Chapel in Pasco County. This site's work and its rules are centered on Tampa and Hillsborough County.
