Restoration in Riverview
Riverview is a census-designated place, so Hillsborough County Development Services handles its permits, at (813) 272-5600 and through the HillsGovHub portal. The county's footer gives County Center, at 601 E. Kennedy Blvd. in Tampa. The schedule effective October 5, 2024 prices residential demolition at 190.00, R-3 work (interior alterations included) at $1.00 per square foot with a $380.00 floor, and a general building trade permit at 130.00. That schedule is from October 2024.
A newer one may exist. Substantial damage, in the county's 09/2025 guidelines, means repair costs at or above 50 percent of pre-damage market value. Systems, cabinets, finishes, insulation and drywall go into the tally. Building dry out and mud removal may be left out of the tally, along with debris removal and permit and inspection fees. County enforcement uses the Florida Building Code with Chapter 3 modifications from the Hillsborough County Construction Code, and no edition year is printed.
On FEMA's map, A and AE zones meet Riverview's line. Riverview's median build year in ACS data is 2006. Under the county's $7,500 exemption, replacing siding, soffits, exterior windows and doors or a non-structural roof may go ahead without a permit, but a project that doesn't meet the exemption needs one.
