Odessa's semi-rural character in western Hillsborough County means many properties feature older mobile homes on spacious lots ranging from half an acre to five acres or more. As the area sees increased residential development pressure, property owners are replacing aging mobile homes with modern site-built homes to take advantage of rising land values along the Gunn Highway and Race Track Road corridors.
The unincorporated nature of Odessa means all permitting goes through Hillsborough County rather than a city government, which can streamline the process. However, many Odessa properties have private wells and septic systems that require careful disconnection and capping before demolition can proceed. Our team is experienced with the specific requirements for well abandonment and septic system decommissioning in western Hillsborough County.

Odessa-Specific Considerations
Many Odessa mobile homes sit on properties with private wells and septic systems rather than municipal water and sewer. Proper well abandonment requires a licensed well contractor and Hillsborough County permits, while septic systems must be pumped, collapsed, and backfilled according to county environmental regulations.
The area's mix of sandy and clay soils creates variable foundation conditions. Older mobile homes may have concrete block pier foundations or driven steel anchors, each requiring different removal approaches. Properties near the Hillsborough River tributaries may also have wetland setback requirements that affect equipment staging.
