Broward County encourages EV charging installation through expedited permitting and has adopted EV-ready building standards for new construction, with Florida state law protecting HOA member rights to install chargers.
Broward County offers expedited permitting for residential EV charging station installations through the county building division and participating municipal building departments, typically processing permits within 5-10 business days. Florida Statute 718.113(8) and 720.3045 protect condo and HOA residents' rights to install EV chargers at their own expense with reasonable association approval. Commercial developments in Broward must provide EV-ready parking per adopted building code amendments, with a percentage of spaces pre-wired for future charger installation. The Florida Building Code requires accessible EV charging spaces meeting ADA standards. Permit fees vary by municipality but typically range $75-200 for Level 2 residential installations.
