TAMPA, FL -- Hillsborough County officials have added a new feature to their website. There is a new section dedicated to all things related to
Chinese drywall.
The county says the new portal includes links to federal and state agencies handling investigations and findings, information regarding tax breaks offered by the Hillsborough County Property Appraiser’s Office, and recent news coverage about Chinese drywall.
The web site also lists resources offered by Hillsborough County and the county says expedited permits and inspections will be granted for those associated with the replacement of Chinese drywall. To make this request, a contractor may call 813-635-7300.
Keep in mind there have been no federal guidelines accepted or approved for the removal of Chinese drywall.
The county also says, residents whose homes are being remediated due to Chinese drywall problems may be eligible to install a temporary mobile home on their lot while work is in progress. They are allowing this in efforts to keep people in their communities.
To learn more about eligibility requirements or for application assistance, residents may contact a zoning counselor at 813-307-4739.
