FOG / Grease Trap Service Records — City of Tampa
Tampa requires grease traps opened, cleaned and maintained at least once per week, with records kept.
What it is. Recurring cleaning of the grease trap/interceptor with retained records, under the City Grease Ordinance.
Who issues/enforces it. City of Tampa — Wastewater Department (City layer).
When you need it. Ongoing. Cleaning is required when captured grease/solids exceed 25% of the device volume, and grease traps must be opened, inspected, cleaned, and maintained at least once per week.
How to comply. Use a permitted grease hauler; keep dated maintenance records on site.
Cadence. At least weekly for grease traps (and when 25% is displaced).
What SpoonSeal tracks. The document(s) you upload for this requirement, with automatic renewal/expiration tracking (Current, Due Soon, Expired). Where the city publishes health-inspection results (e.g., NYC and Chicago), SpoonSeal syncs them automatically; elsewhere they can be added manually.
