The Tampa City Council is the legislative body of the municipal government of the U.S. city of Tampa, in Hillsborough County, Florida. The City Council consists of seven members, each representing one of seven corresponding districts from which they were elected. City Council, as the city's legislative branch, is responsible for enacting ordinances and resolutions administered by the corresponding executive branch, the Mayor of Tampa.[2]

During election years, the term of office for the Council's outgoing body expires on April 30, while the Council's newly elected body officially begin their term on May 1. The four-year terms are scheduled to expire/commence during odd-numbered years, with the term of office for the Council's current membership scheduled to draw to an end on April 30, 2023.[3]
