Hillsborough County’s Code Enforcement Department is responsible
for preserving the quality and value of public and private property
by eliminating conditions that threaten the life, health and safety
of the public. Within its responsibilities, it enforces the maintenance
of the existing land use, the minimum requirements for a house
to be safe and the condemnation of dangerous structures. Code Enforcement
also administers the False Alarm Ordinance 04-16 which collects
fines from property owners with false security alarms.
In addition, Code Enforcement is tasked with damage assessment
roles after a disaster. These roles include initial safety assessment,
pre-staging with tactical search and rescue teams, development
of damage assessment survey and condemnation and demolition of
unsafe structures.
