Departments
Broward County offices handle services ranging from property taxes and building codes to transit, parks, housing assistance, and water service. This directory helps users identify the right office before calling. It also includes commonly requested programs and service lines that may be easier to find by name than by their parent department.
How to Find the Right County Office
Start with the service you need. For a property tax bill, contact the Broward County Tax Collector; for a property assessment or exemption question, contact the Property Appraiser. For a court case, contact the Clerk of Courts. For a recorded deed or other Official Records document, contact Records, Taxes, and Treasury. For building permits in unincorporated Broward or a city served by the County, contact the Building Code Division; environmental permit questions go to Environmental Engineering and Permitting. Aviation handles airport operations, while Transit handles county bus service. If you are unsure where to begin, the 311 Broward Call Center can help direct your question.
Some entries use the same information line or share a contact number with a related program. When calling, describe the specific service you need so staff can route you appropriately. For an immediate emergency, call 911; the Regional 911 System entry below is for questions about the system.
