Hillsborough County's court system is part of Florida's two-tiered trial court system, which consists of county and circuit courts. County courts are often called “the people’s courts” since their jurisdiction includes citizen disputes like misdemeanors, traffic offenses, and disputes of small monetary value. Circuit courts, on the other hand, have original jurisdiction over various cases, including civil disputes involving amounts greater than $30,000, estate controversies, cases regarding minors and incapacitated persons, juvenile cases, tax disputes, property boundary determinations, and declaratory judgments. Additionally, circuit courts can issue writs such as certiorari, mandamus, habeas corpus, and others to exercise their jurisdiction fully.
