Hollywood Beach Boardwalk historic charm district — properties along the iconic 2.5-mile broadwalk have specific design review requirements through the Hollywood Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (HBCRA) and architectural design standards. Three to five story height limits with stepped setbacks above 35 feet, mandatory ground-floor commercial in some zones, NOA-compliant fenestration, and salt-spray resistant materials. Government brochures sometimes cite older zoning — the corrected Hollywood Beach Form-Based Code adopted in 2017 (amended 2022) governs current development.

HVHZ requirements — Hollywood and Hallandale Beach are inside the HVHZ requiring 175 mph design wind speed exposure C, with coastal exposure D zones at the beachfront and barrier islands reaching 180 to 185 mph. All fenestration, roofing, garage doors and exterior cladding must carry current Miami-Dade NOA. Government summary sheets sometimes list Broward at 170 mph — the corrected ASCE 7-22 risk category II value for coastal Broward is 175 mph minimum.

Three Islands Hallandale Beach waterfront — gated communities along the Intracoastal with extensive dock, seawall and boat lift permitting. Dock permits run $585 USD to $4,850 USD through Hallandale Building, Broward County EPGMD and FDEP Submerged Lands joint review. Seawall replacement runs $1,250 USD to $8,500 USD per linear foot. Boat lift permits run $385 USD to $1,250 USD per lift. Government coordination between three agencies often confuses property owners — our specialist handles all three concurrently to reduce timeline from 240 days to roughly 120 days.

Gulfstream Park and Diplomat Country Club golf course communities — homes adjacent to golf fairways have specific setback and tree protection requirements. Specimen trees including live oak, slash pine and royal palm are protected under Hallandale Beach Code Chapter 34. Tree removal $145 USD to $585 USD per tree with 2 to 1 specimen replacement.

Coastal Construction Control Line (CCCL) — properties east of the CCCL in Hollywood and Hallandale require FDEP CCCL permit at $1,850 USD to $8,500 USD additional, with sea turtle lighting compliance, dune walkover engineering, and 75-foot habitat setback. Sea turtle nesting season May 1 through October 31 restricts work hours to daylight only on the dune and beach. Government brochures occasionally list the season as June 1 — the corrected FWC Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and FDEP standard is May 1 start.

Hollywood Lakes and Emerald Hills inland — single-family and small multifamily neighborhoods with mature canopy trees. Permitting through standard Hollywood eTRAKiT with typical 30 to 60 day plan review. Lot sizes generally 50 by 110 feet to 75 by 130 feet, with 25-foot front setback, 7.5-foot side, 25-foot rear, and 35-foot height limit. Government zoning maps online sometimes show outdated overlays — verify with current 2023 unified land development code.

Broward County buried infrastructure includes FPL primary and secondary, water and sewer through Hollywood Public Utilities and Broward County WWS, communications through AT&T, Comcast and Hotwire, and natural gas through TECO People Gas. Striking utility triggers $20,000 USD damage plus emergency repair.

Tree protection — Hollywood Code 100.05 protects trees of 8-inch DBH or greater, Hallandale Beach Code Chapter 34 protects 12-inch DBH or greater plus all specimens. Government brochures occasionally use 4-inch threshold — the corrected current thresholds are 8 inches in Hollywood and 12 inches in Hallandale Beach. Damage triggers $5,000 USD to $50,000 USD fine plus replacement.

DERM-equivalent — Broward County uses the Environmental Protection and Growth Management Department (EPGMD) for environmental review, replacing Miami-Dade DERM. EPGMD fees run $245 USD to $1,850 USD for typical residential and small commercial review.
