Roofing in Brandon
Hillsborough County Development Services handles permits for unincorporated Brandon, a Census-designated place. On the county's fee schedule effective October 5, 2024, residential Roofing is $250.00 under Trade Permits (commercial roofing is $380.00). Trade permits cover single-trade projects that need inspections only and no plan review. You pay the whole fee at submission. The county's Work Exempt from Permits page lists non-structural roof repair or replacement among possible exemptions under the HB 803 limit of $7,500.
That exemption doesn't apply in a flood hazard area. If the county decides a project doesn't meet it, a permit is required. Projects costing more than $5,000 need a Notice of Commencement. The county's 09/2025 guideline says it enforces the Florida Building Code as modified by Chapter 3 of the Hillsborough County Construction Code. Its substantial damage line is repair cost equal to 50 percent of the building's value before the damage, with that value taken from the Hillsborough County Property Appraiser.
Applications go through HillsGovHub, and the county footer lists 601 East Kennedy Boulevard in Tampa. Hillsborough isn't covered by the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, and Brandon's housing has a 1993 median build year in ACS 2020-2024 data. Before you skip a permit on a roof job under $7,500, call (813) 272-5600 and confirm the exemption covers it.
