Demolition Process

The demolition process is designed to ensure the safety of both the public and the men and women of Tampa Electric. To carry out the demolition process please complete and fax the following to Tampa Electric at (813) 314-4677.

  • Complete, print and sign a cover letter.
  • Obtain and submit a completed demolition application that is available at your city or county office at the locations listed below.

Once Tampa Electric has received your faxed cover letter and application, you will be sent a confirmation letter to give notice of receipt of your application. At the completion of the demolition process, after meters and service lines have been removed, the completed signed application will be sent to the customer/contractor.

NOTE: If you are submitting a request for an active account, the customer of record must call Tampa Electric and request to have the account closed before the demolition request can be processed. Call customer service at (813) 223-0800 Hillsborough County, (863) 299-0800 Polk County or 1 (888) 223-0800 for all other counties.
