Common violations in Broward County include unpermitted construction, overgrown vegetation, property maintenance failures, junk vehicles, improper waste disposal, and expired building permits. Most permits expire if work doesn't begin within 180 days.
The most common code violations in Broward County include: construction without proper permits (one of the most frequently cited), failure to maintain property exterior (peeling paint, broken windows, roof damage), overgrown grass and weeds, accumulation of junk, trash, and debris, inoperable vehicles on residential property, improper waste disposal and illegal dumping, expired or inactive building permits (permits expire if construction doesn't begin within 180 days or inspections aren't scheduled), commercial vehicle storage in residential areas, sign code violations, and failure to maintain swimming pool barriers. South Florida's climate accelerates property deterioration, making maintenance violations particularly common.
Fines range from $250/day for first violations to $500/day for repeat violations through Special Magistrate. Building without a permit carries fines plus the requirement to obtain retroactive permits at double the standard fee.
