The evidence

PermitTypeFiledStatus
BLD-25-0516303 Commercial Building Alterations (Renovations) May 27, 2025 Revision

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 building permit is the City’s record of planned construction work. It doesn’t mean a business will open, and it doesn’t say when. Plans change, tenants change, and some permitted work is never finished.

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.
