Broward: Cities, County Services and Getting Around Fort Lauderdale

This section covers Broward County, from Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood north to Pompano Beach and Deerfield Beach, and west to Coral Springs, Davie and Weston. It helps you figure out which city or county office handles your question, how Broward County Transit, Tri-Rail and Brightline fit together, and what's worth knowing before a Panthers game at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise.

Each guide starts with the answer, then walks through the steps and lists what to bring or have ready. Hours, fees and rules shift from year to year, so we point you to the city or county office that can confirm the current details.

Heading to the sand or a county park instead? Start with our beaches and parks hub. If you need a case file or a clerk's office, the court records guides pick up from there.
