No — and this is one of the most important things to understand about code violation resolution in Broward County. Most incorporated Broward cities operate their own independent building departments, separate from Broward County Building Department. Filing a violation resolution permit with the wrong department creates delays of weeks and potential rejection of the permit application.

Weston is the notable exception — it contracts building services through Broward County Building Department rather than operating its own office. Every other major Broward city — Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Coral Springs, Pembroke Pines, Davie, Miramar, Plantation, Pompano Beach, Sunrise, Cooper City, Coconut Creek, Lauderhill, Tamarac, Margate, Hallandale Beach, Deerfield Beach, North Lauderdale, Lighthouse Point, and Lauderdale Lakes — all have their own building divisions. AGK confirms the correct permitting authority for your specific property address before filing anything.

HVHZ stands for High Velocity Hurricane Zone — the most stringent wind-resistance building designation in the United States, applying to all of Broward and Miami-Dade Counties. Every roofing product, window, and door installed anywhere in Broward County must carry HVHZ Florida Product Approval. Installations using non-HVHZ materials — even if the work was otherwise properly permitted — constitute code violations.

Non-HVHZ roofing materials and non-impact windows are the most common violation types AGK resolves in Broward County. These often stem from work performed during the construction boom of the late 1990s and 2000s by contractors who specified non-HVHZ materials or from more recent repairs done by unlicensed contractors who were unaware of or ignored HVHZ requirements. AGK specifies only HVHZ-approved materials for all corrective work — ensuring the resolution does not create future compliance issues.

An open permit has significant practical consequences for a Broward property. For insurance: Citizens Property Insurance will not issue or renew a policy on a property with an active open permit or code violation. For sales: title companies will not issue title insurance on a property with an open permit, and lenders will not fund a mortgage — meaning the sale cannot close until the open permit is resolved. For future permits: most Broward building departments will not issue a new permit on a property with an existing open permit in the same trade or in a related trade.

Open permits attach to the property record indefinitely — they do not expire or go away with time. The only way to close an open permit is through the correct resolution process with the city building department. AGK handles this process for Broward properties in every city.

Yes — and this is one of AGK's most significant advantages for Broward property owners with multiple compliance issues. AGK holds four active Florida contractor licenses covering roofing (CCC-1335099), general construction (CGC-1534839), plumbing (CFC-1434412), and glass and glazing (SCC-131153361). This means a property with a roofing violation, non-impact windows, and an unpermitted structural addition can have all three issues resolved under one contract with one contractor — eliminating the coordination complexity of managing multiple licensed contractors simultaneously.

For properties with accumulated compliance issues — common in older Broward cities like Lauderdale Lakes, Lauderhill, Plantation, and the older sections of Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood — AGK develops a coordinated resolution sequence that addresses all issues efficiently under one managed process. Call (954) 807-3455 for a free multi-violation assessment.

Call AGK at (954) 807-3455 immediately — pre-sale violations are our highest-priority assessment category and we provide same-day or next-day consultations for situations with real estate closing deadlines. The speed of resolution depends on the specific violation type, the city's building department review timeline, and whether corrective work is required or whether the issue can be resolved through an inspection-only process.

Simple open permit closures where the original work was done correctly but the final inspection was never scheduled can sometimes be resolved in 2 to 3 weeks through the building department's inspection queue. Violations requiring corrective work and re-inspection take longer — typically 4 to 8 weeks depending on the city and the scope of work. We tell you clearly on day one which situation applies to your property and what the realistic timeline is for your specific closing date.
