Hillsborough County Web Site Offers Info On All-Things Chinese Drywall
|
| |
|
Residents concerned about problems associated with Chinese drywall found in some homes can view an online portal of resources by visiting www.hillsboroughcounty.org and clicking on the Chinese Drywall button on the right-hand side of the page. It includes links to federal and state agencies handling investigations and findings, information regarding tax breaks offered by the Hillsborough County Property Appraiser's Office, and recent news coverage about Chinese drywall.
The Web site also lists resources offered by Hillsborough County Planning & Growth Management Department. Expedited permits and inspections will be granted for those associated with the replacement of Chinese drywall. To make this request, a contractor may call 813-635-7300. In addition, in an effort to reduce displacement from their community, residents whose homes are being remediated due to Chinese drywall problems may be eligible to install a temporary mobile home on their lot while work is in progress. To learn more about eligibility requirements or for application assistance, residents may contact a zoning counselor at 813-307-4739.
This online portal of resources is an initiative of Hillsborough County Commission Chair Ken Hagan.
