The evidence

PermitTypeFiledStatus
BDE-26-0445205 Commercial Demolition Permit Dec. 1, 2025 Issued

Permit numbers link to each record on the City of Tampa’s permitting site. Status is as the City listed it on Sept. 25, 2026.

When we spotted it

This permit was already active when Tampa Thinks started watching City permits on Sept. 25, 2026. We found it in the existing permits. That isn’t when it was filed, and it doesn’t make it new.

What this means

A demolition permit describes removing a structure. It doesn’t say what, if anything, will replace it, or when.

The sentence above is written from the permit’s details by fixed rules. Where the permit leaves something out, such as the tenant, we say so rather than guess. We don’t republish the permit’s own text. How Spotted works.
