County permit search
Hillsborough building permits: how HillsGovHub search works
Official portal: HillsGovHub.
Updated
Hillsborough County building permits are looked up in HillsGovHub, the county's Accela portal. You can view records without logging in, and a registered account is only for applying and a few other services. One catch: the City of Tampa, Plant City and Temple Terrace issue their own permits, so a city address won't turn up in HillsGovHub.
Hillsborough County permit search, step by step
HillsGovHub holds Hillsborough County permits. Tampa, Plant City and Temple Terrace keep their own.
Open HillsGovHub and click Search in the top menu.
Choose the Building records. Then enter a permit number, a site address or a contractor's license number.
Older addresses can carry years of history, so narrow the date range before you start opening records.
Skip registration unless you're applying, paying or scheduling. Lookups work anonymously.
