Hillsborough County’s East Division

When filing a family law case in Hillsborough County, one thing to keep in mind is that there are two courthouse divisions in which your case may be heard:  (i) the Tampa Division, located at the Edgecomb Courthouse in Downtown Tampa; and (ii)  the East Division, located at the Plant City Courthouse. So how do you know to which division your case will be assigned?

Edgecomb Courthouse

Plant City Courthouse

The Thirteenth Judicial Circuit’s Administrative Order S-2011-007 provides an answer.  If either party to a family law matter lives to the east of U.S. 301, then you will be assigned to the East Division in Plant City.
