The home building industry is a major economic engine in our region as well as a heavily regulated industry. As such, the Tampa Bay Builders Association works directly with elected and public officials, professional staff, citizens, and other influencers to balance economic development and home-building realities with smart, affordable, urban, and suburban life in Tampa Bay.
Governmental Affairs and Codes Committees
All members are invited and encouraged to participate on one of several committees that meet regularly with important influencers to share, discuss and resolve industry concerns. The meeting schedule is posted and updated on the Events Calendar.
- Hillsborough
- Pasco
- St. Petersburg
- City of Tampa
Industry Issues Fund
This fund underwrites the cost of legal challenges to regulatory issues, impact fees, and building moratoria, data research to counter dis- and misinformation as well as public relations campaigns to ensure fair and balanced perspectives are provided. This is a [voluntary] contribution rather than any kind of assessment, dues increase, or a percent of the value of the business.
Political Action Committee
TBBA does not have a political action committee, but rather allocates a portion of the membership dues and annual budget to its advocacy efforts.
