Serving Tampa and Hillsborough County
Tampa is the county seat of Hillsborough County, and the county around it has a large number of manufactured home parks and neighborhoods, from Riverview, Gibsonton and Ruskin in the south to Brandon, Seffner, Thonotosassa, Plant City, Dover and Lutz.
Hillsborough County is in HUD Wind Zone II, while Pinellas County across the bay is in Wind Zone III. A home’s data plate shows the wind zone it was built for, and a home can’t be installed in a higher zone than that, so it pays to know your home’s rating before you buy or move one in the Tampa Bay area. We check the data plate as part of every free inspection.
Hillsborough County wind zone & storm notes
Hillsborough County is in HUD Wind Zone II. Every Florida county is in Wind Zone II or III, so even inland homes are built and anchored for high wind. The National Hurricane Center reports that Hurricane Milton (2024) caused major damage in the Sarasota and Tampa Bay areas. Bay-area homes near the water face storm surge and salt air, and inland homes still see the wind, so tight, corrosion-free tie-downs matter everywhere in the county.
Wind zones: 24 CFR 3280.305.
A tip for Tampa homeowners
Homes in south Hillsborough near the bay see more salt exposure than homes inland. If you can see rust on strap ends or anchor heads, don’t wait for hurricane season to have them checked.
