Hillsborough County LDC §4.01.07 (Environmentally Sensitive Areas — Wetlands and Natural Water Bodies) requires a Wetland Setback Encroachment Permit before any development activity within the regulated setback of jurisdictional wetlands.
Brandon is inland but has numerous isolated wetlands, conservation tracts, and tributaries (Bell Creek, Buckhorn Springs area). Encroachment permits typically require demonstration of avoidance, minimization, and mitigation, plus payment of mitigation fees if avoidance is infeasible.
Stop-work orders, restoration required, and civil penalties; concurrent enforcement by SWFWMD under Florida ERP rules.
