Housing from the 1980s, neighborhoods with their own associations, and a permit process that runs through an online portal.

Most homes predate Florida’s 2002 code
In the Census Bureau’s 2020 to 2024 American Community Survey, the median Plantation home dates from 1984, 86% of the city’s roughly 40,000 homes were built before 2000, and 40% before 1980. The statewide Florida Building Code only took effect in 2002, so the original doors on those homes were built to earlier, local rules.

45% are single-family houses
Plantation is nearly half houses: 45% of its homes are single-family in the same survey, and the rest is mostly townhomes, condominiums and apartments. Jacaranda, Lauderdale West, Plantation Isles and Plantation Acres are among the house neighborhoods.

A city permit is not HOA approval
Plantation’s permit requirements say that since May 8, 2023 an HOA, COA or POA approval is not a condition of getting a building permit, and that a city permit does not mean the association approved the work. Owners and contractors must meet any recorded covenants.

Permits come from Building Safety, online
A garage door replacement in Plantation is permitted by the City’s Department of Building Safety. Since November 2022 new applications have been accepted in digital format only, through the Accela Citizen Access portal and its Digital Plan Room, and only contractors and other authorized accounts registered with the city can submit them.
