Here in Hillsborough County there is a ballot issue to raise the sales tax a penny to fund transportation initiatives like light rail for Tampa and Hillsborough County. There are a lot of competing views and here in Seminole Heights there is a very vocal group that is pushing for the light rail line through Tampa Heights and Seminole Heights. It is not settled as to the route. Tonight, Oct. 27th there will be a meeting in the Auditorium of our local historic Hillsborough High School. Meeting starts at 7:00 pm. Former State Rep.

The local historic district rules are much more detailed (0 comments)

It has been some time since I outlined the standards for the Seminole Heights Residential Overlay District. I am still amazed that sellers don't think they need to disclose this on their property disclosures. It is even more surprising that agents that have listings through out Seminole Heights still do not advise thier sellers that they need to disclose these zoning restrictions. It will only take one buyer taking them to court before they disclose these restrictions. Though not complex, the standards can impact owner's plans for new construction and additions. Not being advised of this prior to purchase can lead to (0 comments)
