Broward County Zoning administers the
Zoning Code, Chapter 39, of the Broward County Code of Ordinances, as it applies only to the
Broward Municipal Services District (BMSD), which is the unincorporated areas of Broward County.
If your property or business is in a local municipality of Broward County you would need to contact that municipality for their specific Zoning regulations.
