Yes, Brandon falls under Hillsborough County Building Services jurisdiction, and we have extensive experience with their permitting process. Hillsborough County follows the Florida Building Code with specific requirements for traffic concurrency, stormwater management, and environmental permits. We maintain strong relationships with County building officials, which helps streamline permit approval and inspections.

Brandon's inland location offers some advantages over coastal Tampa Bay areas: no storm surge risk, fewer flood zone complications (most of Brandon is Zone X), and generally more straightforward permitting. However, projects still require wind-resistant construction meeting Zone 2/3 requirements, and sites near the Alafia River may have flood zone considerations. Afternoon thunderstorms during summer require careful construction scheduling.

We serve all of Brandon's commercial districts including the Highway 60 retail corridor, Westfield Brandon Mall area, Brandon Town Center, Bloomingdale corridor, Valrico and FishHawk commercial areas, and the I-75 logistics zone. We also handle projects throughout eastern Hillsborough County including Riverview and Plant City.

A typical tenant improvement might take 2-4 months, while ground-up retail or office construction ranges from 8-18 months. Distribution centers can be built more quickly (6-12 months) due to simpler interior requirements. We provide detailed schedules during pre-construction accounting for Hillsborough County permit timelines.
