Why a roofing permit takes 4–7 days in Hillsborough County

Tampa's ongoing building boom is pushing county plan review times up, with commercial projects trending toward the longer end of the range. The City of Tampa processes its own permits separately from Hillsborough County — projects inside city limits follow a different timeline than unincorporated county projects.

What reviewers check on a roofing submittal

Roofing review is a wind-uplift and Florida Building Code wind-load check — product approval, fastening schedule, and secondary water barrier. Post-hurricane enforcement is stricter in coastal counties, so uplift documentation is where these permits stall.
