Please ensure you gather items that will need to be submitted prior to submitting your application as incomplete applications will not be accepted. Some of the items necessary may be obtained as follows:

• Property information such as folio numbers, future land use, current zoning, section/township/range and other information may be obtained by using the Hillsborough County Map Viewer and searching for the necessary address in the search bar at the top.
• Sunbiz Forms may be obtained by visiting Sunbiz.org.
• A Copy of the Current Recorded Deed(s) may be obtained by visiting the Hillsborough County Property Appraiser’s website at HCPAFL.org and conducting a Property Search.

Select one of the results to view and save the current recorded deed.
• Close Proximity Property Owners List may be requested by emailing [email protected] . Include all folio numbers and the notice buffer distance area in the request. Please Note: If your property has an Agricultural Future Land Use Designation (A, AR, AM, AE) or a Future Land Use Designation of RES-1 you must obtain a list of all property owners within 500 feet of the subject property. For all other Future Land Use Categories you must obtain a list of all property owners within 300 feet of the subject property.
