What shapes a project in Tampa
Local conditions worth knowing before scope and budget are set.
Housing mix and age
In the 2024 American Community Survey, about 50 percent of Tampa's roughly 194,000 housing units were single-family detached homes and about 42 percent were in buildings with two or more units. About 25 percent were built before 1960, including about 9 percent built before 1940.
Local historic districts
Tampa has four local historic districts and 64 local landmarks. New construction, additions and exterior repairs there go through Certificate of Appropriateness review. The Architectural Review Commission covers Hyde Park, Seminole Heights and Tampa Heights, the Barrio Latino Commission covers Ybor City, and the Historic Preservation Commission handles local landmarks.
Condo milestone inspections
Tampa enforces the state milestone inspection law through City Code 5-110.9. Condominium and cooperative buildings of three or more stories need an inspection 30 years after the certificate of occupancy was issued, and every 10 years after. A licensed Florida engineer or architect must perform, sign and seal the report.
