Right of Way Fee Schedule

We require fees to supplement the costs associated with reviewing and processing Right of Way (ROW)

We require fees to supplement the costs associated with reviewing and processing Right of Way (ROW) Use permit applications and the inspection of work performed. The Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) sets the fees for ROW Use permits, and applicants must pay fees upon submission and approval of the application.

Paying fees

See the guide for using credit card payments online through the HillsGovHub portal.

If you wish to pay by check or money order, or cash, go to Development Services on the 16th Floor of the County Center Building at 601 E. Kennedy Blvd. in downtown Tampa.

Check and money orders should be made out to Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners for the exact fee amount.
