Hillsborough County is a public agency. Under Florida law, e-mail addresses are public records.

Messages you send to County staff, including through this website, may be subject to disclosure under Florida’s public records law (Chapter 119, Florida Statutes).
This website links to or embeds content from other services, which have their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for their practices. They include:

We use reasonable technical and administrative safeguards, including encrypted connections (HTTPS) and security monitoring, to protect information collected through this website. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We keep contact form messages and related email only as long as needed to respond to you and for our records, or as required by Florida public records retention rules.
