Nuisance Abatement Board
 
The Nuisance Abatement Board is a quasi-judicial board consisting of seven citizens of Hillsborough County who are appointed by the Board of County Commissioners for three- year terms. This board has the power to declare properties that house prostitution, controlled substance activity, and youth gang activity a "public nuisance", as defined in Florida Statutes 893.138 and County Ordinance 98-45.

Cases are referred to this board from the Hillsborough County Sheriff's office and board hearings are scheduled as needed. The case files are kept in the Citizen Boards Support office.
