Zoning and land development regulations provide a body of principles and standards adopted by the Board of County Commissioners as a local law or ordinance which regulate property owners. They regulate appropriate land uses allowed in the community, density of development, appearance of development, and the related infrastructure which supports development, including the provision of water, sewer, transportation, parks, storm water, and protection of natural resources such as trees and wildlife.

Planning and Zoning is responsible for community planning, code administration, and zoning. The Historic Preservation program, Greenways program, and Community-based Planning program are administered by this division.  For more information please visit Hillsborough County Zoning and Growth Management.
