Restoration in Town 'n' Country
Hillsborough County mailed a letter to residential and commercial properties in FEMA flood zones A, AE, V, VE, AO, AH, AR or A99, explaining FEMA's 50% rule and how to apply for permits through HillsGovHub. Town 'n' Country is unincorporated, so that county guidance is the one in play. Its Substantial Damage/Improvement Guideline, dated 09/2025, asks owners and contractors to submit a worksheet, a Contractor and Owner Attestation including overhead and profit, and a cost breakdown with the permit application.
The county's Building Permit Fee Schedule, effective October 5, 2024, charges R-3 residential at $1.00 per square foot of under-roof area. Its minimum fee is $380.00 for R-3 and U occupancies and $500.00 for all other classes. The county charges 190.00 to demolish a house. Development Services takes applications around the clock on HillsGovHub, or through its Digital Drop-off page for services that aren't on the portal, at (813) 272-5600 or licensing@hcfl.gov.
The county's Construction Code, in its Chapter 3, modifies the Florida Building Code. It prints no edition year. Census estimates put the area's median build year at 1984, and A, AE and VE flood zones touch its boundary on FEMA's map. Once a Town 'n' Country house needs repairs costing 50 percent of its market value before the damage, it has to meet the Florida Building Code along with the county's flood damage control rules.
