Hillsborough County Courts are extremely easy to navigate. If you are searching records their computer system is extremely user friendly and clerks are very helpful. Hillsborough County is the 5th largest county in Florida by population which translates to this is a very busy courthouse. The 2 major highways that run through the city are I-275 and I-4. Since construction will probably never be finished on I-4 (going on for so many years I really do not remember when it was not under construction) prepare for delays and do not speed in the construction zones. This is a zero tolerance county and that includes speeding. Civil cases greater than $15000 are heard here as well as probate, divorce and who s your daddy (paternity) cases.

Hillsborough County offers a diverse mix of ethinicity. You will find excellent restaurants and nightclubs as well as Seminole Hard Rock Casino. Ybor city which is just minutes from downtown has many lively celebrations through out the year. Guavaween (a Halloween celebration) and Gasparilla (the pirate invasion) are among the 2 largest street parties. The restaurants in Ybor are as diverse as the people. You will find Spanish and Cajun foods alongside Italian restaurants. Tampa also offers several malls with high end shopping such as The International Plaza which has everything from Tiffanys to Hugo Boss. Channelside Drive offers the Florida Aquarium and the Tampa Convention Center. There is plenty of shopping and attraction in Tampa. Busch Gardens and Adventure Island are 2 theme parks located within the city. There is plenty to do and see here all the time.
