The evidence

PermitTypeFiledStatus
BLD-26-0526061 Commercial Building Alterations (Renovations) June 22, 2026 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

This permit describes work at a place. A building permit is the City’s record of planned construction; it doesn’t say when the work will finish, and some permitted work is never done.

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.
