Good morning

We have received the request for the certificate of occupancy for BC-2025-1049. For us to process the request we will need the following-

Change of use and tenant build out permits require review of historic connection fees to determine if additional fees are required. Connection fees are charged by Polk County Utilities, which may include service and deposit fees. Potential additional capacity connection fees for change of use or tenant build outs will be required to be paid prior to receiving a Certificate of Occupancy. For more information, contact JoshuaBehr@polkfl.gov  or LaurieGreen@polkfl.gov

Once the above has been completed, please submit a new certificate of occupancy request to COrequest@polkfl.gov with the permit number in the subject line. If you have any questions, please let us know.

BT-2025-16107- This permit is closed/complete

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you,

Michelle

Laurie,

If they cannot provide can you just use a comparable restaurant in the area that Polk utility services and base it on that?

I need 24 months worth of bills per location. Also, you can use a similar size location as the third comparable. Send me over the information and I will work on your application quickly.

Laurie,

The owner is unable to obtain comparables as this is a newer concept, and the locations in Tampa are all submetered with no easy access to the usage info. We have one or two comparable locations, can you use similar footprint stores for the other? Please let me know if there is anything I can do on my end to help expedite this as we desperately need a CO on this project and this is the last hurdle. Appreciate any help you could provide.

Good morning

We have received the request for the certificate of occupancy for BC-2025-1049. For us to process the request we will need the following-

Change of use and tenant build out permits require review of historic connection fees to determine if additional fees are required. Connection fees are charged by Polk County Utilities, which may include service and deposit fees. Potential additional capacity connection fees for change of use or tenant build outs will be required to be paid prior to receiving a Certificate of Occupancy. For more information, contact JoshuaBehr@polkfl.gov  or LaurieGreen@polkfl.gov

Once the above has been completed, please submit a new certificate of occupancy request to COrequest@polkfl.gov with the permit number in the subject line. If you have any questions, please let us know.

BT-2025-16107- This permit is closed/complete

Hello,

Change of use and tenant build out permits require review of historic connection fees to determine if additional fees are required. Connection fees are charged by Polk County Utilities, which may include service and deposit fees. Potential additional capacity connection fees for change of use or tenant build outs will be required to be paid prior to receiving a Certificate of Occupancy.

Restaurants are usually based on seat capacity for fees. I see your location will be a take-out establishment, so this would not work for you. You can provide me with three (3) comparable location water bills for a time length of 24 months. The comparable locations can be located anywhere in the United States that has a similar population. The water bill must have the consumption of gallons and number of days in the reading cycle. This is typical on most water bills.

Based on your location, the previous tenant was a retail store, so you will receive a credit for what they previously paid.

Once I receive the comparable sites, I will provide you with a capacity / connection fee application. You will be able to review, complete, sign and then return to me. Payment can then be made via check to our location. Once payment is made, I will notify the Building Department that the CO can be released.

If you have paid any deposit fees or account establishment fee, please provide me a copy of the receipt so I may give you credit for those payments.

If you have any questions, let me know.

Good Afternoon,

Permit BR-2020-4958 was for a concrete slab and garage. They are listed on property appraiser being acceded on the property. They did pass the slab inspection back on 7-7-2020 and did not get the garage finalized. So, the permit becomes the new owner problem. They will need to reopen the permit and get the inspection finalized.

For permit renewals or extensions, a Permit Renewal Request must be completed. You may submit a maximum of two (2) requests per email. Each request must be separate attachment. Please allow three (3) business days for a response. Once the form(s) are completed, please submit your request(s) to expiredpermits@polk-county.net. Your request will be processed in the order in which it was received.

Hello!

A friend of mine is having an issue with a permit that is listed as expired and never closed out on his father’s house. This permit was pulled prior to him buying the house, as you can see he purchased in 2024, the permit is in the prior owners name and the current owner had no knowledge of the expired permit, and for some reason the title search missed it as well. What do we need to do to get this closed out? It was an owner/applicant permit, so whatever was done it was done by him with no knowledge of how it was built by the current resident. Any help you could provide would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
