Permits and inspections in the City of Tampa

The City of Tampa requires a permit to erect, alter, relocate or rebuild a sign. Any repair that affects a sign's load-bearing structure needs one too. Simple, non-structural maintenance does not. Illuminated and electronic signs get an electrical inspection after the electrical work is done. A new foundation is inspected after the hole is excavated and the reinforcing steel is in place. If a sign is an imminent threat to people or property, emergency repairs may start first, with the permit pulled the next city working day, limited to returning the sign to its original permitted state.

The city's permit review typically asks for a site plan relative to property lines, building elevations, sign specifications with area calculations, a wind-load report, and electrical details if the sign is lit. Hillsborough County and nearby cities have their own rules. We pull our own permits; approval time depends on the city or county.
