The short answer
The Tampa program page lists no parking lot guardrail or lighting certificate, so these items come up through the milestone inspection, the SIRS or the board's own safety review. Tampa's program page is structural only and lists no electrical or parking lot report. Tampa requires milestone inspections under City Code s. 5-110.9 at 30 years and every 10 years after.

How we handle parking lot guardrails and lighting in Tampa
The 40-year recertification belongs to Miami-Dade and Broward. In Tampa the local requirement is the milestone inspection under City Code s. 5-110.9, a structural inspection filed in Accela, and the city's page asks for no electrical or parking lot report. Boards that want those systems reviewed usually do it as part of the SIRS or their own maintenance planning.[1][3][4]
