Fees are set by the Broward County Administrative Code, Chapter 40, Part VI (Building Code Division), sections 40.27 through 40.32, read in the Administrative Code as codified through Supplement 28 (banner: codified through Resolution No. 2026-283, adopted June 9, 2026). Sections 40.29 through 40.32 were last amended by Resolution 2025-038, adopted 2-25-25, effective 5-1-25; section 40.28 by Resolution 2026-27, 2-3-26.
