BUILDING AND ZONING DIVISION

The City of Temple Terrace Building and Zoning Division consists of permitting, inspection services, zoning reviews and contractor registrations for our community. Approvals for occupational and alcohol licenses and permits for special events also are handled by the department.

Mission:

The City of Temple Terrace Building/ Zoning Division is committed to promoting the health, safety and welfare of the public through the application of building codes, fire protection regulations and City ordinances, while providing high-quality, responsive, timely and courteous service to our citizens and customers.

Our customers include the general public, contractors, architects, engineers and developers. We are here to assist all those who live or work in our community by making the permitting and inspection process as simple and efficient as possible.

Often we ask for information to be submitted with a permit application that may sound unnecessary or unreasonable, but allow us to explain the need for this submittal.

The Building Division has two main functions:


1. Regulation of building construction activities through permitting and inspection.
2. Enforcement of the non-criminal aspect of city codes with regard to private and
   public property.

This includes enforcement of the minimum housing code. The Housing Rehabilitation Program/Hillsborough County is frequently utilized to help citizens eliminate code enforcement violations.
