Important Notes for Broward County Municipal Permits

Many Broward County municipalities use Broward County Building Division for plan review and inspection services while maintaining their own zoning departments. For these municipalities — including Coral Springs, Miramar, Plantation, Sunrise, Tamarac, Oakland Park, Deerfield Beach, Dania Beach, and Hallandale Beach — permit applications must be submitted to Broward County Building Division at (954) 765-4400 with a copy of zoning approval from the applicable municipal zoning department.

For municipalities with fully independent building departments — including Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Pompano Beach, Weston, and Pembroke Pines — permit applications go directly to the city building department.

Always verify the current permitting arrangement for your specific property by calling both the applicable municipal building department and Broward County Building Division before submitting any permit application. Permit jurisdiction arrangements can and do change.
