County Boundaries for Florida. This service is for the Open Data Download application for the Southwest Florida Water Management District.

Dataset containing all 67 counties in Florida including county seats, cities, towns, founded dates, and area statistics.

This resource is a member of a series. The TIGER/Line shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) System (MTS). The MTS represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line shapefile is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. County subdivisions are the primary divisions of counties and equivalent entities for the reporting of Census Bureau data. They include legally-recognized minor civil divisions (MCDs) and statistical census county divisions (CCDs), and unorganized territories. In MCD states where no MCD exists or is not defined, the Census Bureau creates statistical unorganized territories to complete coverage. The entire area of the United States, Puerto Rico, and the Island Areas are covered by county subdivisions. The boundaries of most legal MCDs are as of January 1, 2024, as reported through the Census Bureau's Boundary and Annexation Survey (BAS). The boundaries of all CCDs are those as reported as part of the Census Bureau's Participant Statistical Areas Program (PSAP) for the 2020 Census.

This GIS data set contains Florida county boundaries found on the most recent 7.5-minute USGS (1:24000 scale) quadrangles available in 1997. The county borders extend to the state water line. The linework along the state borders with Alabama and Georgia exactly matches FWRI's 1:40K shoreline.

The 2020 cartographic boundary KMLs are simplified representations of selected geographic areas from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). These boundary files are specifically designed for small-scale thematic mapping. When possible, generalization is performed with the intent to maintain the hierarchical relationships among geographies and to maintain the alignment of geographies within a file set for a given year. Geographic areas may not align with the same areas from another year. Some geographies are available as nation-based files while others are available only as state-based files. The cartographic boundary files include both incorporated places (legal entities) and census designated places or CDPs (statistical entities). An incorporated place is established to provide governmental functions for a concentration of people as opposed to a minor civil division (MCD), which generally is created to provide services or administer an area without regard, necessarily, to population. Places always nest within a state, but may extend across county and county subdivision boundaries. An incorporated place usually is a city, town, village, or borough, but can have other legal descriptions. CDPs are delineated for the decennial census as the statistical counterparts of incorporated places. CDPs are delineated to provide data for settled concentrations of population that are identifiable by name, but are not legally incorporated under the laws of the state in which they are located. The boundaries for CDPs often are defined in partnership with state, local, and/or tribal officials and usually coincide with visible features or the boundary of an adjacent incorporated place or another legal entity. CDP boundaries often change from one decennial census to the next with changes in the settlement pattern and development; a CDP with the same name as in an earlier census does not necessarily have the same boundary. The only population/housing size requirement for CDPs is that they must contain some housing and population. The generalized boundaries of most incorporated places in this file are based on those as of January 1, 2020, as reported through the Census Bureau's Boundary and Annexation Survey (BAS). The generalized boundaries of all CDPs based on those delineated as part of the Census Bureau's Participant Statistical Areas Program (PSAP) for the 2020 Census.

The Florida Department of Revenue’s Property Tax Oversight(PTO) program collects parcel level Geographic Information System (GIS) data files every April from all of Florida’s 67 county property appraisers’ offices. This GIS data was exported from these file submissions in August 2025. The GIS parcel polygon features have been joined with thereal property roll (Name – Address – Legal, or NAL)file. No line work was adjusted between county boundaries.The polygon data set represents the information property appraisers gathered from the legal description on deeds, lot layout of recorded plats, declaration of condominium documents, recorded and unrecorded surveys.Individual parcel data is updated continually by each county property appraiser as needed. The GIS linework and related attributions for the statewide parcel map are updated annually by the Department every August. The dataset extends countywide and is attribute by Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) code.DOR reference with FIPS county codes and attribution definitions - https://fgio.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=55e830fd6c8948baae1601fbfc33a3b2If you discover the inadvertent release of a confidential record exempt from disclosure pursuant to Chapter 119, Florida Statutes, public records laws, immediately notify the Department of Revenue at 850-717-6570 and your local Florida Property Appraisers’ Office.

A geographic depiction of city boundaries in Broward County, Florida.

City boundary data was last updated April 13th, 2021 and previously on February 22, 2021. A small edit was made between Tamarac and Fort Lauderdale just SW of the Executive Airport. In February adjustments were made between Pembroke Pines, Southwest Ranches and Cooper City where their geographies are coincidence and are meant to follow the northern boundaries of STR geography. Prior to this edit, the City of Coral Springs had annexed four parcels of land from unincorporated Broward County; Ordinances 2018-014 (1 parcel) and 2018-036 (3 parcels), effective Sept 15, 2019. Previously in May 2019, a correction was made to the boundaries of Southwest Ranches and Pembroke Pines at Dykes Road and Sheraton, just north of Sheraton, on the west side of Dykes. Prior to this change, a correction was made to the Lauderhill boundary at the Florida Turnpike interchange located at the Sunrise Blvd entrance on the east side of the turnpike in April 2019; the 1959 Lauderhill incorporation legal description, (Laws of Florida 59-1478) left this thirteen acre area as unincorporated. A 1994 boundary change between Plantation and Lauderhill, (Laws of Florida 94-427) de-annexed five parcels from Plantation and annexed them to Lauderhill in this area. However in 1996, Broward County's Strategic Planning and Growth Management Department made available data sets provided by Broward County’s Planning and Information Technology Division via a CD. This data set depicted this unincorporated area as being part of Lauderhill. This depiction remained such until a boundary adjustment in 2006-2007 incorrectly depicted this as being part of Plantation. In 2009 Broward County was made aware of this error and adjusted it partially using the CD boundary as a template. This resulted in the area being incorrectly assigned to Lauderhill. In September of 2018, Lauderhill revisited this boundary depiction by the County and in 2019 it was concluded this area is unincorporated following the 1959 and the 1994 boundary adjustment legal descriptions.

Prior to April 2019 there were other edits. The previous update of the data was Nov 7th, 2018, adusting the boundaries between Weston and Town of Davie to agree with House Bill 0871 which redefined a small area of their adjoining boundaries in the area of Weston Road and I-75. In July 2018, adjustments were made to the City of Margate to align with a city boundary shape file and written legal description as provided by John Shelton, GIS, City of Margate. The previous update was January 17th, 2018, correcting an unincorporated boundary line of the Triple H Ranch plat area within Parkland. This also reflects an adjustment made to Pembroke Pines southwest boundary between the Turnpike and SR 27 and the Sept 15th 2016 annexations of County unincorporated lands by Parkland. (City Ord 2016-06) and Coconut Creek (City Ord. 2015-027).Also a correction to the Hollywood/Davie boundary in the vicinity of Davie Blvd Ext and N 66 Ave and Oak St, per the City of Hollywood. Recent past boundary changes include annexations of county land to Pembroke Pines and Cooper City in 2015. And a Weston-Davie boundary adjustment in 2015; HB 871. And a July 2015 official resurvey of the City of Fort Lauderdale's boundaries which thus included adjustments to Oakland Park and Pompano Beach boundaries, (F. Gulliano, BC Engineering, M. Donaldson PSM, Fort Lauderdale). Also in 2015, a boundary adjustment was made to the eastern most boundary of Pompano Beach to match it to a more accurate depiction of the coastal erosion line by Broward County; (requested by the city to match their legal description). Further back, the were annexations for Parkland (2013) and Sunrise (Nov 2012) and updates to Lauderdale Lakes (per J. Petrov - BC Engineering 2012) and Plantation (I Reyes, GIS - Plantation 2012).
