Broward County General Building / Addition-Remodel Permit Timeline
Beta estimate from published county-level data — not yet from live Cleard pipeline data for Broward County specifically.
Why a general building / addition-remodel permit takes 21–34 days in Broward County
The Broward County Building Department issues permits only for unincorporated areas. Cities within the county — Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Pembroke Pines, and others — run their own separate building departments with their own timelines.
What reviewers check on a general building / addition-remodel submittal
Additions and remodels get structural review and zoning/setback review layered together, so the plan set has to satisfy two reviewers whose comments arrive independently — a setback correction can restart drawings that already cleared structural.
