The short answer
Parking garage restoration in Tampa covers slabs, columns, joints and coatings in structures the local rules treat as part of the building. Tampa requires milestone inspections under City Code s. 5-110.9 at 30 years and every 10 years after. Tampa's page sets no repair deadline of its own, so the state 365-day rule governs.

Parking structures under the Tampa rules

- The city's page sets inspection deadlines but no repair deadline of its own, so the state rule applies, under which repairs for substantial structural deterioration must start within 365 days of the Phase II report.
- Tampa's program page describes a structural inspection only. It lists no electrical report, thermography, parking lot certificate or balcony form.
How we handle parking garage restoration in Tampa
Tampa leaves the repair clock to the statute, 365 days from the Phase II report to start repairs for substantial structural deterioration. The Phase II report is where the engineer specifies the repairs, so we start pricing the scope with contractors as soon as it is filed and plan the permit application around the 365-day date.[1][2]

Frequently asked questions
Is our parking garage covered by the Tampa rules?
Tampa runs milestone inspections under City Code s. 5-110.9, Mandatory Structural Inspections for Condominium and Cooperative Buildings, for association buildings three stories or more. The first inspection is due at 30 years from the certificate of occupancy and then every 10 years. Garage repairs often run in phases so residents keep somewhere to park.
Does Tampa set a repair deadline?
The city's page does not. The state rule applies, so repairs for substantial structural deterioration must start within 365 days of the Phase II report.
Does Tampa require an electrical report?
The city's milestone page describes a structural inspection only and lists no electrical report or parking lot certificate.
