Where East Tampa is, and who runs it
East Tampa lies northeast of Downtown Tampa. Wikipedia gives its edges as Hillsborough Avenue on the north, 15th Street on the west, Interstate 4 on the south and 40th Street on the east. The City of Tampa describes it as sitting between Downtown, the Port of Tampa and the University of South Florida.
East Tampa sits inside the City of Tampa. A code case, a fine or a building permit for an East Tampa house goes through City offices, and the City's Neighborhood Enhancement division handles code cases. The parcel record is kept by the county.
Belmont Heights, College Hill and Jackson Heights
Wikipedia lists three areas within East Tampa: Belmont Heights, College Hill and Jackson Heights. When you call us, give the street address and we find the house in the county record.
Our price check uses sales close to your house. We start with sales within half a mile and we do not use a sale across a major road when the sale prices show that values change at that road. Hillsborough Avenue and 40th Street are two roads we look at in East Tampa. You see every comparable sale we used.

Selling an East Tampa house that needs work, or that came to you
You can sell a house that needs repairs, a house with a code case, or a house you inherited. We buy it as it is and the offer already counts the repairs. You do not clean it out.
If the City issued a code fine and the problem is fixed later, the City has a written policy for settling the fine. The Tampa page of this site shows the amounts. If a relative left you the house, tell us whether probate has started. The offer can come first, and the closing date follows once someone is able to sign the deed.

Selling in East Tampa: questions
Do you buy houses in East Tampa?
Yes. East Tampa is one of the ten Tampa areas on the BIMINIO home page. We buy its houses in any condition, plus duplexes to fourplexes and building lots in Hillsborough County. Give us the street address and we tell you on the first call whether we can make an offer.
Which areas count as East Tampa?
Wikipedia gives East Tampa's edges as Hillsborough Avenue, 15th Street, Interstate 4 and 40th Street, and lists Belmont Heights, College Hill and Jackson Heights inside it. Its ZIP codes are 33605 and 33610. Send us the address if you are unsure whether your street is included, and we confirm it.
Is East Tampa inside the City of Tampa?
Yes. East Tampa is a district within the City of Tampa, so City offices handle its code cases and building permits. Hillsborough County Code Enforcement works only in the unincorporated parts of the county. The Hillsborough County Property Appraiser's record for your house shows which side of the city line it is on.
What is the East Tampa Community Redevelopment Area?
It is a City of Tampa program for one part of town. The City's page gives the East Tampa area as 7.5 square miles, lists ongoing, planned and completed projects, and cites a Master Strategic Plan Report from July 2022. BIMINIO runs no part of the program, so it cannot say how a project will change a price.
What does the City say it is investing in around East Tampa?
The City of Tampa's East Tampa page says the City remains committed to investing in significant public safety, aesthetic and infrastructure projects, with a focus on Hillsborough Avenue. It lists ongoing, planned and completed projects. The page shows a last update of 02/05/2026. We price from recent sales, because we cannot predict what a project does to a price.
How do you price a house in East Tampa?
We start with sales within half a mile of the house and take off the cost of the work it needs. Hillsborough Avenue and 40th Street are roads where we check whether values change. If they do, we leave out sales across them. East Tampa and Seminole Heights are also compared as separate neighborhoods.
Can I sell an East Tampa house that has code fines?
Yes. The City of Tampa has a written policy for settling code fines once the problem is fixed. The amount depends on how late the fix was and on whether the house has a homestead exemption. This site's Tampa page shows the table. A fine that remains at closing is paid from the sale. BIMINIO gives no legal advice.
Can I sell an inherited East Tampa house before probate ends?
Yes, you can start early. You can request a written offer while probate is open and set the closing date later, once someone is able to sign the deed. A probate lawyer can tell you which court process fits your family. We buy inherited houses as they are, including houses full of belongings.
