Showing ordinances that apply to Boulevard Gardens, FL
Boulevard Gardens is an unincorporated community (population 1,457) in Broward County, Florida. Because Boulevard Gardens is not an incorporated city, it does not have its own municipal code. Instead, Broward County ordinances apply directly to properties here. The architectural review rules below are the ones that govern your area.
Broward County HOAs routinely require architectural review committee approval before exterior changes including paint, roofing, fences, pools, and hurricane shutters.
Architectural review in Broward County HOAs is governed by the community declaration of covenants and Florida Statutes Chapter 720. Most communities in Weston, Parkland, Coral Springs, Plantation, and master-planned CDDs require written application to the architectural review committee (ARC) before any exterior modification including paint, roofing, fences, landscaping material, pools, patio enclosures, generators, and hurricane protection. Committees must act within the time frame set in the governing documents, commonly 30-60 days, and silence is often deemed approval or denial depending on the covenant language. Florida law overrides HOA restrictions on certain items: solar devices are protected under FL 163.04, clotheslines and Florida-friendly landscaping have statutory protection, and hurricane shutters, impact windows, and roof retrofits cannot be unreasonably denied when complying with Florida Building Code. Association approval is separate from the Broward County or municipal building permit and does not substitute for code compliance.
