Broward County Code Compliance responds to complaints based on severity. Health and safety hazards are prioritized for inspection within 24-48 hours. Routine violations are typically investigated within 5-10 business days with a 30-day compliance window.
Broward County Code Compliance prioritizes complaints by severity. Imminent health and safety hazards (structural collapse, fire hazards, sewage issues) are investigated within 24-48 hours. Standard violations like overgrown lots, junk vehicles, and property maintenance issues are investigated within 5-10 business days. After violation verification, property owners receive a Notice of Violation with a compliance deadline — typically 30 days for standard violations. If not corrected, the case may be referred to a Special Magistrate hearing. The Code Compliance Division uses a case management system to track violations from complaint through resolution. Repeat violators and properties with chronic issues receive accelerated enforcement timelines.
After a Special Magistrate hearing, fines of $250/day for first violations and $500/day for repeat violations may be imposed. Liens can be placed on properties for unpaid fines. The county may also seek injunctive relief through circuit court.
