The Historic Resources Review Board serves as the architectural review board for unincorporated Hillsborough County. Membership requirements of the Board and its duties are specified in Hillsborough County's Land Development Code (section 9.03.04). The Board's seven members are appointed by the Board of County Commissioners and represent a diverse group of professionals and lay persons with knowledge in fields related to historic preservation.

Professional members include two architects, one archaeologist or anthropologist, one historian, and one planner or real estate developer or real estate broker or landscape architect. Additionally, the regulations provide for the establishment of subcommittees to carry out the Board's duties.

The subcommittees established under the Board's Rules of Procedure are the Design Review Committee (DRC) and the Landmark Recommendation Committee (LRC). The DRC advises applicants informally concerning guidelines for new construction or extensive alterations/additions to landmark sites. The LRC reviews potential sites for landmark designation and makes recommendations to the Review Board regarding their eligibility.
