3Abandoned/Vacant Real Property Registration and Certification Program
Broward County Code of Ordinances
Chapter 39, Article X½
Section 39-140: Purpose and Scope
It is the purpose and intent of the Broward County Board of County Commissioners to establish a process to address
abandoned and vacant residential real property located within the unincorporated areas of Broward County. It is the County/s
further intent to specifically establish the Abandoned/Vacant Real Property Registration and Certification Program as a
mechanism to protect unincorporated residential neighborhoods from becoming blighted through the lack of adequate
maintenance and security of abandoned and vacant properties.
Section 39-143: Registration of Abandoned and Vacant Real Property
(a) Upon default by the mortgagor, any mortgagee holding a mortgage on residential real property located within the
unincorporated areas of Broward County shall perform an inspection of the property that is the security for the
mortgage prior to the issuance of a notice of default. If the property is found to be vacant or shows evidence of
vacancy, it shall be deemed abandoned and the mortgagee shall, within ten (10) days of the inspection, register the
property with the Division on forms provided by the Division.
(b) If the property is occupied but remains in default, it shall be inspected by the mortgagee, or designee, monthly until:
(1) the mortgagor or other party remedies the default; or (2) it is found to be vacant or shows evidence of vacancy at
which time it is deemed abandoned and the mortgagee shall, within ten (10) days of the inspection, register the
property with the Division on forms provided by the Division.
(d) A nonrefundable annual registration fee in the amount of One Hundred Fifty Dollars ($150) per property shall
accompany the registration form(s) pursuant to this article. The annual registration fee shall correspond to the fiscal
year of the County and the renewal of the registration, along with the payment of the annual fee, shall be completed
prior to October 1st of any year. The renewal of the registration, with its accompanying fee, shall be the responsibility
of the mortgagee and a failure to do so in a timely manner shall subject the mortgagee to code enforcement action
pursuant to Chapter 8½ of the Broward County Code of Ordinances.
Section 39-144 and Section 39-145: Maintenance and Security Requirements
Properties shall be maintained and secured in accordance with the Broward County Code or Ordinances.
All violations of Chapter 39, Article X½ may be subject to the minimum civil penalty of $250 for the first offense and $500 for
subsequent violations. Chapter 8½ -16(a)
