This is the second part of two blogs on building permits trends in the period 2014-2023 (See previous blog here.). As a reminder, Planning Commission staff have built several dashboards that allow decision makers and the public to review building permits issued throughout the county. As before, we will be looking at residential and commercial building permits in Plant City and Temple Terrace issued in the last ten years (2014-2023) and the last 10 quarters (i.e., July-September 2021 to October-December 2023). As we will see, for these two municipalities, building permits have been trending up for several years. Alternatively, as recounted in our previous blog post, Tampa and Unincorporated Hillsborough County (UHC) have been issuing less permits every year since 2019. For building permit numbers and visual details, see the charts below.
