Rezoning Decisions in Hillsborough County

Rezoning (also called a "zone change") is the legislative process of changing the zoning designation assigned to a specific parcel of land. Every parcel in a municipality is assigned a zoning classification - such as R-1 (single-family residential), C-2 (general commercial), or I-1 (light industrial) - that dictates what can be built there.
