For a project requiring only a mechanical permit, including one which involves the repair or replacement of an existing heating or air-conditioning system, a Notice of Commencement is required when the project cost is $15,000 or greater.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has completed a multi-year assessment of the County's coastal flood risk and updated flood maps.
Effective October 7, 2021, permits issued by the County will need to meet the new flood zone and Base Flood Elevation (BFE) requirements (even if the application was received before October 7).
To see how the flood risk may have changed for a property or area, visit Hillsborough County's Flood Zone Comparison Viewer. Please view our fact sheet for additional information.
