What we do

Consumer Protection

Consumer Protection Services investigates consumer complaints with the goal of returning money, goods, or services to the citizens and visitors of Hillsborough County. In addition, consumer outreach and education programs aimed at preventing victimization are conducted in the community, and information is regularly provided about unfair or deceptive business practices in common areas such as home improvement contracting, landlord/tenant agreements, telemarketing, and many other scams.

As has become tradition at Veterans Memorial Park, the vibrant Garden of Gold flags will be erected in tribute to fallen heroes.
