Hillsborough Community Action

The Hillsborough County Zoning Department s comprehensive plan sets the overall land uses for Hillsborough County, Fla., and the county's future land use map serves as the framework for efficient uses of land in the community. Zoning is a land use control that further protects property owners from undesirable and incompatible land uses in neighborhoods. Zoning and land development regulations provide a body of principles and standards adopted as a local law or ordinance that regulate property owners. It regulates appropriate land uses allowed in the community, density of development, appearance of development and the related infrastructure that supports development, such as the provision of water, sewer, transportation, parks, storm water and protection of natural resources, such as trees and wildlife. Also used by the division is the official zoning atlas that designates a zoning classification for each piece of property in the county. The Hillsborough County Zoning Department is located in Tampa, Fla.

Hillsborough County, established in 1834, offers a wide range of services designed to meet the needs of its residents, including trash and recycling collection, water services, and opportunities for pet adoption.

The Board of County Commissioners oversees the county's operations, which are divided into four districts and three countywide districts, ensuring representation and accessibility for all residents. Hillsborough County prioritizes public engagement and transparency, providing platforms for community input and information on various initiatives that impact local development and citizen well-being.
