Zoning & Permits in Fort Lauderdale
Broward County zoning determines what you can build and where. Our builder partners know local permitting requirements and factor county rules into every quote.
| Zoning Factor | Broward County Rule |
|---|---|
| HVHZ designation | Broward County is in Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone. All construction requires impact-rated windows, doors, and roofing. Adds $5,000–$15,000 to build cost. File permits with Broward County Building Division or applicable city (Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Pompano Beach, etc.). |
| ADU rules | Broward County and City of Fort Lauderdale allow ADUs on SF lots. Foundation tiny homes meeting HVHZ specs and IRC minimums (200 sq ft, 6’4” ceiling) qualify for ADU permits. City of Fort Lauderdale has its own ADU permit process separate from county. |
| THOW placement | THOWs classified as RVs in Broward — must be in a licensed RV park or MH community. Several RV parks operate in western Broward near I-75 corridor. Coastal sites are limited and expensive. |

Fort Lauderdale Tiny Home Builder FAQ
Can I build an ADU in Fort Lauderdale?
Yes — Fort Lauderdale and Broward County allow ADUs on SF lots. All ADU construction must comply with Broward’s HVHZ requirements: impact-rated windows, doors, and roofing. File with the City of Fort Lauderdale Building Services Department (for city parcels) or Broward County Building Division (unincorporated areas). Our HVHZ-experienced builder partners handle the full permit process and include required material upgrades in their quotes.
What is the High Velocity Hurricane Zone and how does it affect my build?
The HVHZ (High Velocity Hurricane Zone) designation covers Miami-Dade and Broward counties — the two highest wind-risk counties in Florida. Any permitted construction must use Florida Product Approved impact-resistant windows and doors, and reinforced roofing systems. This adds $5,000–$15,000 to a typical tiny home build but is required for permit issuance. RVIA-certified THOWs from our network builders are already engineered for Florida wind loads and can be delivered to Broward County RV parks without additional modification.
How much does a tiny home cost in Fort Lauderdale?
HVHZ requirements add a premium: ADU foundation builds in Fort Lauderdale typically run $140,000–$210,000+. Broward permit fees vary by city. THOW delivery starts around $60,000–$90,000 for a mid-range model. Park model placement in a Broward County licensed community runs $50,000–$120,000 for the unit plus lot rent of approximately $650–$1,050/month. Broward’s proximity to Miami makes rental demand strong for ADU builds near employment corridors.
Where can I place a THOW near Fort Lauderdale?
THOW placement in Broward County requires a licensed RV park or manufactured home community. Several parks operate in the western Broward corridor (Davie, Weston, Pembroke Pines area) near I-75 and I-595. Coastal THOW placement is limited by density and zoning. For buyers wanting a park model ADU on their existing lot, Broward County permits RVIA park models as ADUs under HB 2579 when placed on a foundation meeting HVHZ and setback requirements.
