Hillsborough County follows the Florida-Friendly Landscaping program and FL 373.185, which protects a homeowner right to install native and drought-tolerant plants. HOAs and deed restrictions may not prohibit Florida-Friendly landscapes. The UF IFAS Extension office promotes native plant use.
Recommended natives for the county include muhly grass, coontie, saw palmetto, beautyberry, firebush, simpson stopper, and sea grape in coastal areas. The University of Florida IFAS Hillsborough County Extension in Seffner provides free landscape consultations. The Florida-Friendly Landscaping Nine Principles are incorporated into the county Land Development Code for new development landscape plans.
HOA restriction conflicts: homeowner can assert FL 373.185 defense. Invasive exotic plantings on new development: permit denial until corrected.
