Creative Management

Prepare now!

Tropical Depression 14 has developed in the SW Gulf of Mexico. The first track from the NHC brings it to Florida's West Coast Wednesday as a strong Category 2 hurricane. More information to come throughout the day.

PERMITTING INFO: Our Permitting team has established Pop-Up Permit Centers at the two Tampa comfort centers: DeSoto Park & Marjorie Park. Open daily from 7am-7pm until further notice. Staff will help residents one-on-one to navigate the permit process to make needed home repairs. 🏡🔨

To lessen the burden of repairs, the City is waiving fees on storm-related damage permit applications. There will be no permit fees for applications related to damage from Hurricane Helene.

TIP: In performing repairs during this time, reminder that the following actions do NOT require a building permit:
- Any drywall repair 2 feet or less from the finished floor.
- New roof covering, or the recovering, re-roofing or repairing of an existing roof covering, either of which is five hundred (500) square feet or less.
- Painting, papering, tiling, carpeting, cabinets, countertops, and similar finish work.
- Fence Repair & Replacement.
- Repair of soffits & facia.
- Replacement of front and rear exterior doors (keeping existing framing).

Hope everybody has a wonderful Thanksgiving. Just a reminder, Creative Management will be closed on Thursday and Friday in observance of the holiday.
