Broward County is reminding residents of various ways they can receive local government services without face-to-face interactions in government facilities. These alternatives are being offered to help protect the public and County employees. Until further notice, the following Government Center West (GCW) services are available only through these alternate means; public foot traffic for these transactions will not be an option until future notice. (GCW is located at 1 N. University Drive, Plantation Florida.)

Building Code Services, Consumer Protection, Chauffeur Registration, Childcare Licensing, Environmental Permitting, Planning and Development Management, and Code and Zoning.

All these services can be accomplished through Broward’s GCW Virtual Operations. Visit Broward.org/Consumer and select GCW Virtual Operations for more information. You may also call the Broward County Call Center at 311 or 954-831-4000, Toll-free: 833-311-BRWD (2793).

You may submit your Development and Environmental Review application online through our e-Permit portal. If you have any further questions, do not hesitate to contact us.
