The lottery drawing for taxi and luxury sedan certificates of public convenience and necessity was held on June 28th, 2022 in the 2nd floor hearing room of Government Center West. Congratulations to all the winners! Winning ticket numbers are listed on the
Vehicle For Hire Webpage
.
On Tuesday, April 5, 2022, the Board of County Commissioners approved a resolution to Section 40.50 of the Broward County Administrative Code to allow for an increase in the first 1/6 of a mile charged by taxicabs if the 30-day average of unleaded regular gasoline is over $4.00 per gallon. In order to charge the additional fee, the taxicab must have the taximeter adjusted to show the, current, $1.00 increase in the drop rate and have the new rate stickers posted on the vehicle. The new rate stickers are available at Government Center West, 1 North University Drive in Plantation.
The Environmental Section (Hazardous Materials, Storage Tanks and Wellfields), previously in the Consumer Protection Division, has moved to the
Environmental Permitting Division
. Please take note of the new web addresses for these programs.
