I'm in agreement. The system is severely broken. There's no consistency from one plan reviewer to the next.

This process coat my first time home buyer a beautiful house. Now he's trying to buy a much worse one since so much time was wasted and the market changed. Renovation restores our city. Be user friendly.

6 month stop work order and no permit. Seriously ? Is this legal ? Is this Florida ? Yes indeed. The permit and building office has totally destroyed my home , business and I’m on the virge of bankruptcy now all because they are so uptight about applying for the proper permit. My first home purchase in FL, will be my last!

I believe that the city has good intentions, but they must be held accountable to the citizens for the services they are supposed to give to the business community. The process must be improved and the city needs to provide the department with more resources. The city is booming and we need better and faster response and service from the city permit office.

It seems to be unjust. They tell you it will cost double and then before the process is completed, it is much more than that. The process to get approval by an individual when they didn't know a permit was needed because the persons who did the work didn't get one, is horrible.

This has been the longest, most annoying process for something that shouldn’t be THIS complicated!!! City of Tampa’s permit process.

When I have conversations with elected officials I remind them that every one of the 100 plus properties we have owned pay more in taxes after we own them, than they did before. Our Company helps build the city's revenue base.

I don't have any experience with any Tampa permitting office, however this sort of interference by various government powers is prevalent and highly problematic, esp. when it affects business in a way that is clearly detrimental and more importantly: unconstitutional.

Totally agreed, It just to take us 6 months from beginning to end to build a house now we are looking at 12-18 month for completion

We are taxpayers, too! The City SHOULD be working in partnership with builders to get jobs done properly, not being our adversaries. It seems like the culture of the building department is to make it as difficult as possible to get the permit, then as difficult as possible to get thru inspections and close the permit.
