Tampa Bay Pool Permits by ZIP Code: Who Issues Yours

This guide covers 30 ZIP codes Pool Pros serves, from Dade City south to Parrish. Nine different offices issue pool permits in those ZIPs, and the mailing address alone rarely says which one.

Where does the county line run through the ZIP codes?

The Hillsborough and Pasco county line runs through Lutz and Odessa, and the ZIP codes cross it. The Lutz ZIPs reach north into Pasco as far as State Road 54, and Odessa’s 33556 includes Starkey Ranch on the Pasco side.

Pool Pros’ own Lutz job proves the point. The amenity pool Pool Pros built at Azora at Cypress Ranch, in ZIP 33558, sits in Pasco County by its street address, even though the center of 33558 is in Hillsborough. For any Lutz or Odessa lot, the parcel record decides the county.

Lithia’s 33547 crosses a county line as well. About 2 percent of the land in the US Census Bureau’s ZIP code tabulation area for 33547 is in Polk County, so a lot near that edge needs the same parcel check.

Is a New Tampa address a City of Tampa permit?

Not always. New Tampa includes about 24 square miles inside the City of Tampa, annexed beginning in 1988, and a larger area in unincorporated Hillsborough County. A parcel inside city limits goes to City of Tampa Construction Services, and a parcel outside them goes to Hillsborough County Development Services.

The City of Tampa warns that many Hillsborough County addresses include “Tampa” without being inside city limits, and points owners to its Address Look-up map.

Which Tampa, Brandon and Riverview ZIP codes are inside city limits?

The four South Tampa ZIP codes are inside the City of Tampa. The US Census Bureau’s ZIP code tabulation areas for 33606, 33609, 33611 and 33629 lie entirely within city limits, so a pool there goes to City of Tampa Construction Services.

The Census areas for Westchase’s 33626, Brandon’s 33511, Valrico’s 33596, Lithia’s 33547 and Riverview’s 33569 and 33579 contain no city land. Hillsborough County Development Services handles permitting for all of unincorporated Hillsborough County, and pool applications go through HillsGovHub. Westchase is the one its mailing name gets wrong, because 33626 mail is addressed to Tampa.

When does the mailing name point to the wrong office?

1. Wesley Chapel. ZIP codes 33543 and 33544 are delivered by the Zephyrhills post office, but the City of Zephyrhills only permits parcels inside its own limits. Wesley Chapel is unincorporated, so its pools go to Pasco County.
2. Lake Jovita. The Lake Jovita Golf and Country Club has a Dade City 33525 address, but the US Census Geocoder places the clubhouse in unincorporated Pasco, outside every city limit.
3. San Antonio and Saint Leo. Both are real cities with their own approvals, but the Dade City building department issues their permits under a local agreement.
4. St. Petersburg 33707. By the Census Bureau’s land figures, nearly half of 33707 is inside the City of Gulfport and about a third is inside St. Petersburg. The rest is mostly the City of South Pasadena and Bear Creek, an unincorporated pocket that Pinellas County permits. Gulfport, South Pasadena and St. Petersburg each run their own building department.

Who issues a pool permit in Parrish?

Manatee County issues pool permits in Parrish. ZIP 34219 lies entirely in Manatee County, and the Census Bureau’s tabulation area for 34219 contains no city. Manatee County lists six incorporated municipalities, Anna Maria, Bradenton, Bradenton Beach, Holmes Beach, Palmetto and Longboat Key, and Parrish is not one of them. A Parrish pool permit is filed with the Manatee County Building Division through its Online Services portal.

How do you look up a parcel before applying?

On a Pool Pros build, engineers draw the plans and Pool Pros manages the permitting with local authorities, as the Pool Pros build process describes, so settling the office is the first step of that work.
