The data set indicates the Broward County Land Use Plan designation for all parcels in Broward County. Note: Roads, other than those designated "Transportation" are not assigned a Broward County Land Use Plan designation. This data is updated as needed and as amendments become effective. Companion data includes Dashed-Line Areas, Irregular Areas, Pending Amendments and Activity Centers. Layer files are available for standard coloring. Municipal land use plans must be consistent with the Broward County Land Use Plan. The Broward County Planning Council reviews each municipal land use plan pursuant to the Broward County Charter and certifies those municipal land use plans which have been found to be in "substantial conformity" with the Broward County Land Use Plan. When certified by the Council, the municipal land use plan becomes the effective land use plan for the municipal jurisdiction. The land use designations on the Broward County Land Use Plan serve as the basis for municipal jurisdiction. The municipal land use plans may be more restrictive than the Broward County Land Use Plan and may depict uses and categories other than those shown on the Broward County Land Use Plan for specific parcels. Areas designated on the Broward County Land Use Plan Map or particular uses are approximate. The exact boundaries for zoning will be determined by the municipality within the reasonable limits of the designation on the map. For further information regarding identification of the effective land use plan for a specific area or for interpretation of the land use designation for a specific parcel, please contact the Broward County Planning Council at 954.357.6695.

This data set was developed to be utilized as a land use plan map and to permit the compilation and analysis of associated data such as, but not limited to, acreage and permitted dwelling units. This data is the BrowardNext version and was updated October 15, 2019. For informational purposes only.
