Hillsborough County Property Maintenance Code §8-116 requires owners to maintain all structures and premises in safe, sanitary, and habitable condition — covering exterior paint, roof, siding, broken windows, accumulated debris, and overgrown vegetation.
Common citations include peeling paint, broken windows, holes in the roof, blue tarps left for more than 6 months after a storm event, and accumulated junk. The County publishes a code-enforcement checklist; minor violations can be self-corrected within the notice period to avoid fines.
Notice of Violation, $100–$250 administrative penalty, then Special Magistrate hearing with up to $250/day continuing fines and potential lien.
