Tampa code enforcement complaints
City desk. Not Hillsborough County.
In Tampa, code enforcement is the Neighborhood Enhancement Division, which took over the former Code Enforcement and Clean City divisions.
SNITCH is a private filing service, not the City. We file as complainant of record. Your name stays off the complaint.
Compliant with Florida SB 60.
Filed with Tampa Neighborhood Enhancement under our name.
Fear of Retaliation
Tampa states it does not accept anonymous code complaints. File it yourself and your name and address are on a public record under Chapter 119.
Who Handles It
Inside Tampa: the City’s Neighborhood Enhancement Division. Unincorporated Hillsborough: Hillsborough County Code Enforcement. Temple Terrace and Plant City run their own.
Agent Filing Rules
We file under our name with the desk that owns the address. If that shop bounces a third-party complainant, that filing does not sit there.
"SNITCH cuts through red tape—handling your code complaints professionally, safely, and always in compliance with Florida law.
- Chaz Stevens, Chief Snitch
We file the real ones.
We reject the rest.
City code. Not a grudge.
Every submission is checked against Tampa City Code Chapter 19, Property Maintenance and Structural Standards, and Chapter 27 zoning. Hearsay, neighbor wars, and junk filings do not go out. A false complaint is on the client.
The division handles overgrown lots, inoperative vehicles, structure maintenance, zoning violations, snipe signs, graffiti, and illegal dumping.
FL SB 60
Why It Matters
SB 60 DID NOT END TAMPA COMPLAINTS
Tampa does not accept anonymous code complaints. Florida law requires the complainant’s name and address. File direct and that name is public. SNITCH files with the City as complainant of record.
Compliant filing. Our name on the paper.
See something. File it without becoming the file.
