Sidewalk repair responsibility in Broward County generally falls to the adjacent property owner under municipal code, though the county or city typically handles sidewalks in public rights-of-way on arterial roads.
Most Broward County municipalities place primary responsibility for sidewalk maintenance and repair on the adjacent property owner under their property maintenance codes, including repair of cracks, lifts from tree roots, and trip hazards exceeding 1/2 inch vertical displacement. The city or county may issue repair notices giving property owners 30-60 days to complete work, with failure resulting in city-performed repair and assessment to the property. On county-maintained arterial roads, Broward County Highway Construction handles major sidewalk reconstruction. Permits are required for sidewalk work in the public right-of-way, typically free or low-cost for owner-initiated repairs. ADA-compliant curb ramps are required at all new or reconstructed intersections.
