Permit Intake and Processing involves the intake and processing from the time of building permit application to the issuance of those permits. The Section accepts all pool, aluminum enclosure, fence, wall, and single-family, multi-family
and commercial permits for construction in unincorporated Hillsborough County. Many of these will require sub-permits for electrical, mechanical, roofing and gas. There are several separate functions that comprise the permitting process in the
County. First, all building permit applications must be submitted in a complete form at the Intake Counter. Once the application is reviewed for sufficiency, it is given a project number and routed to the Graphics Section. The graphics section
reviews the application to insure the zoning district allows the use, reviews applicable setback requirements, height restrictions, flood zone determination, and other demographic information that is used in the Department’s database. Once
graphics are approved, the application is routed to the Plans Examination Review, where it is reviewed for compliance with the Florida Building Code. Once the plans are reviewed and approved, the plans are routed to the Processing Section for
the permit to be finalized and issued. Finally, the approved permit is routed to the Cashiers for collection of any outstanding fees.
