Town, County & Site-Related Approvals
Many Southwest Ranches building permits require Town zoning, engineering or Broward County approvals before issuance. Uploading a building package to CAP does not replace identifying those related approvals. We track each applicable review, its comments and the supporting documents with the owner, contractor and design team.
The Town publishes separate application packages for fences, pools and spas, new single-family homes, demolition, roofing, and windows and doors. We use the relevant package and permit requirements for the actual scope, then coordinate any additional zoning, engineering and County documents.
County Environmental & Asbestos Review
We identify applicable Broward Development & Environmental Review requirements and manage the County submissions and approval certificates with the Town building permit. For demolition and renovation, we also manage SRRA paperwork and Certificate of Submittal follow-up.
The asbestos certificate is distinct from a survey or abatement; additional requirements depend on the facility and work. We also work with licensed asbestos consultants and abatement contractors to coordinate their reports and required paperwork with the permit process. See our Broward County guide for the separate environmental and asbestos review steps.
