For Tampa’s stormwater mitigation program, a condominium belongs in the non-single-family group even though people live there. That distinction matters because the City requires existing credits in that group to be recertified every five years. Existing single-family credits do not require the same renewal. Classification and renewal rules

Find the classification and the award date

An owner or association preparing a renewal check should bring together:

  • the tax parcel or folio identifying the credited property;
  • the property classification used by the program;
  • the record showing when the mitigation credit was applied; and
  • any earlier recertification correspondence.

Ask the Stormwater Assessment team to confirm the due date if the award history is incomplete. The City publishes 813-274-8386 and stormwatermitigation@tampagov.net for that question.

A building’s everyday description—“residential,” for example—does not replace the program classification.

Do not substitute the new-application deadline

The online application says a complete package is needed before March 1 for the next billing year. That is a different timing question from a five-year recertification measured from an existing credit. Application instructions

Our renewal check is therefore: identify the parcel → confirm classification → locate the credit’s start date → obtain the applicable renewal instruction. It does not calculate a credit or certify a stormwater facility.

For proposed changes to the property or its drainage, ask what supporting technical documentation is needed before commissioning work. A prior bill reduction does not establish eligibility for a different parcel or altered system, and this guide does not promise an award.
