Permitting in Broward County
County permits alongside city permits
Many projects need Broward County approvals in addition to the city building permit. Broward's ePermits OneStop lets you apply for both in participating cities, including Hollywood.
Environmental permitting
Broward's Environmental Permitting Division covers surface water management, wastewater, tree preservation, wetlands, storage tanks and more.
BORA and the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone
The Board of Rules and Appeals adopts local amendments to the Florida Building Code and hears appeals. Like Miami-Dade, Broward is in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so exterior products need HVHZ-rated approvals.
Our Broward focus: Hollywood
Hollywood moved to the Accela portal in August 2026, and we manage both new Accela permits and older BCLA permits. Unincorporated Broward is permitted by the county's Building Code Division.
Fort Lauderdale
LauderBuild submittals, Walk-Thru permits, docks and seawalls, and historic and DRC review.
Pembroke Pines
Development Hub submittals, full-set corrections, a Monday to Thursday week and Early Start permits.
Miramar
Online-only submittals, contractor registration before you apply, and a 10-day resubmittal deadline.
