Staff Representative: Gloria Hatfield, (813) 635-7313

The Hillsborough County Code Compliance Section is responsible for investigating all violations of the Hillsborough County Construction Code Ordinance #09-03 ( PDF, 1.74MB ) as amended. Code Compliance also serves as a liaison to Boards & Councils such as the Boards of Adjustment, Appeals and Examiners for gas, electric, mechanical, plumbing and building on matters relating to the Construction Code Ordinance.

Code Compliance Violation Process:
Code Violations are reported by the public and other County/State agencies through complaint letters, phone calls, e-mails and faxes. These violations range from unlicensed contractors and unpermitted construction work to all unresolved violations of the applicable building codes. Violations are investigated for validity by code compliance investigators. The Construction Code permits a Code Compliance investigator to issue Notices of Violations and Citations, which carry a civil penalty of up to $500.00 for any person, firm, corporation or agent who violates the Construction Code. Any such person, firm, corporation or agent who fails to comply with a Notice of Violation or Citation may be brought before the appropriate Building, Electric, Mechanical, Plumbing or Gas Board of Adjustment, Appeals and Examiners for disciplinary action.
