A zoning report provides critical information about what you can and cannot build on your property. It includes setback requirements, lot coverage limits, maximum building height, and allowable uses—helping you avoid costly mistakes before you start designing or building.

Our free report includes your property's zoning designation, required setbacks (front, side, and rear), maximum lot coverage, building height restrictions, flood zone information, and accessory structure regulations. Note: ADU-specific analysis is available in our paid professional reports.

The free base report is limited to one per property owner. Additional reports can be purchased starting at $29.99, or subscribe to our professional plans for better value on multiple reports. Purchase additional reports or view subscription options.

Most zoning reports are delivered within 24 hours of submission. In many cases, you'll receive your report even faster—often within a few hours during business days.

We currently provide free zoning reports for properties in the City of Tampa and unincorporated Hillsborough County. Additional jurisdictions including St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and other Tampa Bay areas are available through our paid professional service.

ADU-specific analysis is not included in the free report. Our paid professional reports provide comprehensive ADU feasibility analysis, including whether ADUs are permitted in your zoning district, lot size requirements, setbacks, and utility connections. Many Tampa Bay properties can accommodate ADUs, but specific restrictions vary by location.

Setbacks are the minimum required distances between your property lines and any structure you build. They ensure adequate spacing between buildings, protect utility easements, and maintain neighborhood character. Violating setbacks can result in expensive corrections or demolition orders.

Our free report provides a comprehensive zoning summary perfect for initial planning and feasibility analysis. However, for formal permit submissions, you may need a certified survey and additional documentation. Our paid professional reports include more detailed analysis suitable for permit applications.

We pull data directly from official municipal and county sources, including GIS systems and zoning ordinances. However, zoning regulations can change, and individual properties may have special conditions. We recommend verifying critical details with your local building department before finalizing plans.

Your report will identify your FEMA flood zone designation. If you're in a flood zone, additional building requirements apply, including elevated foundations and flood-resistant construction. Many Tampa Bay properties are in flood zones—understanding these requirements early prevents costly redesigns.

Absolutely! Understanding setbacks and lot coverage is essential for additions and renovations. The report helps you determine how much you can expand, where you can add square footage, and whether your plans are feasible before investing in design work.

We offer one free report for property owners in City of Tampa or Hillsborough County. Professionals or individuals in the City of St Pete, City of Clearwater, or Pinellas County jurisdictions can purchase a standalone report or subscribe to our professional plans for better value on multiple reports.

Our report covers base zoning district regulations. Not included: historic/overlay district architectural requirements, site-specific conditions (easements, protected trees), and HOA restrictions. These items require special research and inspection beyond standard zoning analysis. We offer custom research as a separate service—contact us for details.

Accessory structures (sheds, detached garages, workshops) are covered in the free report and follow standard setback requirements. ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) are separate living spaces with full kitchens and can be rented independently. True ADUs are only allowed in specific Tampa areas and require special analysis. The free report covers basic accessory structures—ADU-specific feasibility is available as a $19.99 upgrade or included in our professional reports.
