Which rezoning cases do you include?

Cases with development potential: Planned Development rezonings, larger standard rezonings and special uses. Cases of 25 acres or more get top billing. Small cases filed by individual homeowners are left out.

How early will I hear about a case?

Usually when the case is filed or its hearing sign goes up, which is often weeks before it appears on a county agenda. On November 1, 2026, 121 cases had a land use hearing scheduled, and 81 of them had signs up but weren't on any county agenda yet.

What area does DocketDecoder cover?

Unincorporated Hillsborough County, which includes communities like Brandon, Riverview, Apollo Beach, Ruskin, Wimauma and Lutz, plus Hillsborough County government bids and projects. The cities of Tampa, Temple Terrace and Plant City run their own zoning and aren't covered yet.

Where does the information come from?

Public records published by Hillsborough County and the Planning Commission. Every item links to the original record, so you can check the details yourself.

How often will I hear from you?

One email a week. Subscribers can also read past issues on the web at issues.docketdecoder.com.

Yes, any time, using the manage-subscription link in any issue. You keep access until the end of the month you've paid for.

Is this legal or investment advice?

No. DocketDecoder summarizes public records. Check the original record before you rely on it for a bid, purchase or other decision.

The Hillsborough County rezoning schedule, before it's set

Most people learn about a rezoning when it shows up on an agenda, one to two weeks before the hearing. By then the applicant has been working on it for months. We pick cases up at the filing and the hearing sign, then follow every hearing date, continuance and decision on the same case.

Timeline of rezoning case RZ-PD 26-0672 across four land use hearings, and an upcoming 214-acre special use hearing — One case followed across four hearings.

Eight county sources, one weekly email
