All listed homeowner measures are directly recommended by Hillsborough County’s guidance, including drainage maintenance, grading, reducing impervious area, rain barrels, elevating/anchoring utilities and fuel tanks, sealing walls, flood vents, sump pumps, sewer backflow/plug devices, flood‑resistant materials, raising electrical systems (by a licensed electrician), and other protective steps. On permitting, the County does not specify which individual measures require permits; it states that changes often require permits or approvals and advises consulting Hillsborough County Building Permits & Records before proceeding. Note: the County page is marked as posted two years ago and may no longer be current, but it remains an official source for these recommendations.
