For commercial brokers and real estate investors
Hillsborough County development projects, before they break ground
Track Hillsborough County development projects from first filing to permit: new site plans and subdivisions, large parcels being rezoned, and land use plan amendments, summed up every week. You'll know about a project at the rezoning or site plan stage, months before construction starts.
- Weeks ahead of the agenda
- $49 a month, cancel any time
- Links to every county record
What you'll see each week
Where land is being planned, platted and built, with the numbers that matter.
- New site plans, preliminary plats and subdivision construction plans
- Acreage, units and square footage where the plan lists them
- Large parcels being rezoned, from first filing to decision
- Commercial permits over $1M on projects already in the pipeline
- Every record for the same project linked together
How early you'll know
A project leaves a trail of public records long before anything is built. DocketDecoder picks it up at the first filing, not when it reaches the agenda or the bid board.

Follow new developments from filing to permit
A project shows up in different county systems at different times: a rezoning first, then hearing signs, a site plan and finally building permits. We link those records by parcel, so each issue tells you where a project stands instead of handing you scattered filings.
