Why a plumbing permit takes 8–12 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 plumbing submittal
Plumbing review is driven by fixture count and backflow prevention — fixture units against the supply and drain sizing, and the backflow device protecting the potable supply.
