Rezoning requires a noticed public hearing before the Zoning Hearing Master
If a property owner wants to change the uses that are allowed on their property, they must seek a modification to the underlying zoning district, or re-zone the property. A change in the zoning (rezoning) requires a noticed public hearing before the Zoning Hearing Master and final approval by the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners.
