As of March 17, 2022, members of the public may participate in the Tampa City Council meetings by either attending in person in the City Council Chambers on the 3rd Floor, Old City Hall, 315 E. Kennedy Blvd., Tampa, FL 33602 or “virtually” through video teleconferencing, referred to by Florida Statutes and rules as “communications media technology” (“CMT”).
Please check back here frequently as this material may be updated over time.
Please note: For quasi-judicial hearings, the city no longer requires applicants and property owners to sign the “Election to Proceed, Release and Hold Harmless” form. By participating in the public hearing, applicants and property owners acknowledge that participation in the hearing will be virtual through the use of CMT. If during the course of the hearing, an applicant or property owner determines that the use of CMT presents an issue that may impact their due process rights, it is incumbent on them to raise an objection during the hearing. Should they fail to do so, any such claim is waived.
