Broward County and its municipalities prohibit obstructing public sidewalks with vegetation, merchandise, signs, or vehicles, requiring a minimum 4-foot clear pedestrian path and ADA-compliant passage.
Broward County and municipal codes require property owners to maintain clear sidewalks free of overgrown vegetation, low tree branches below 8 feet, signs, merchandise, debris, and vehicles. A minimum clear pedestrian path of 4 feet is typically required, with 5 feet preferred for ADA compliance. Temporary obstructions for construction, deliveries, or events require a right-of-way use permit from the city or county, typically costing $50-250 with insurance requirements. Outdoor dining and sidewalk cafes require separate permits and must maintain required clearance. Violations typically result in a courtesy notice followed by fines of $50-500 per day if uncorrected. Parking vehicles across sidewalks is universally prohibited.
