Broward County Subdivision and Infrastructure Considerations
Subdivision and infrastructure site work in Broward County requires specialized coordination and planning:
- Development Permits: Projects involving development work as described in Florida Statute 380.04 require a development permit prior to the issuance of a building permit. This is a critical prerequisite for subdivision infrastructure work, including utilities, roads, drainage systems, and other site improvements in Broward County.
- Development & Environmental Review (DER): Subdivision developments require Development & Environmental Review through ePermits OneStop for applicable building permits. All DER submittals are only accepted electronically. Broward County's Planning and Development Management Division ensures that proposed subdivision developments comply with the Broward County Land Development Code and Natural Resource Protection Code. The county will not issue building permits prior to receipt of proof of payment for impact fees and a copy of final Planning and Development Management Review approval.
- Phased Development: Large subdivisions in Broward County are typically developed in phases. We coordinate site work to align with development phases, ensuring infrastructure is ready for each phase while maintaining access and minimizing disruption, accounting for 180-day permit validity periods.
- SFWMD Environmental Resource Permits: Subdivision development requires SFWMD Environmental Resource Permits for activities affecting state waters and wetlands, including stormwater management systems, retention ponds, and drainage infrastructure. As of June 28, 2024, new water quality performance standards were implemented.
- Natural Resource Protection Code: Broward County's Natural Resource Protection Code (Chapter 27) regulates environmental activities and enforces requirements for development in environmentally sensitive areas, including flood zones and stormwater management systems. Subdivision developments must comply with these requirements.
- Stormwater Management: Subdivisions in Broward County require comprehensive stormwater management systems including retention ponds, swales, and drainage infrastructure. Our contractors design and install systems to meet SFWMD Environmental Resource Permit requirements and Broward County Natural Resource Protection Code standards.
- High Water Table: Broward County's high water table requires specialized dewatering techniques and foundation design for subdivision infrastructure, with SFWMD Environmental Resource Permits required for dewatering activities affecting state waters.
- Flood Zone Compliance: Many subdivision sites in Broward County are in FEMA flood zones requiring specific elevation requirements and Base Flood Elevation (BFE) compliance for roads, drainage systems, and building pads.
- Utility Coordination: Subdivision development requires coordination with multiple utility companies for water, sewer, electrical, gas, and telecommunications throughout Broward County. We coordinate utility installation to minimize conflicts and ensure proper sequencing.
- Permit Validity: Broward County permits are valid for 180 days from the date of issuance. If work doesn't begin within this period, the permit will expire, though extensions can be requested by contacting the Broward County permit department.
