Building Safety Inspection Program

Broward County Administrative Provisions of the Florida Building Code has a Building Safety Inspection Program for our area. The program has basic guidelines for minimum inspection procedures. Inspection procedures shall conform to the minimum inspection guidelines issued by the Broward County Board of Rules and Appeals (BORA) titled "General Considerations & Guidelines for Building Safety Inspections" which are included in the policy found here. 

When Inspections Are Required

All buildings and structures shall be inspected when the building reaches twenty-five (25) years of age or older, based on the date the certificate of occupancy was issued, and as determined by the Building Official, who shall at such time issue a Notice of Required Inspection to the building owner or association. 

After the initial inspection, subsequent inspections are required at ten (10) year intervals from the year of the building or structure reached 25 years of age, regardless of when the previous inspection report was finalized or filed.   

Note: Broward County Board of Rules and Appeals Policy #05-05 supersedes State of Florida Senate Bill 154.
