Demand for fire & security work in Broward County

Hundreds of coastal condominium and office buildings, plus the post-Surfside focus on building safety and recertification in South Florida, keep life-safety and building-system contractors busy with inspections, repairs and upgrades. Miami-Dade and Broward are inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) of the Florida Building Code, so exterior products need HVHZ-compliant approvals and inspections are strict.

Areas served from Broward County commonly include Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Pompano Beach, Coral Springs, Pembroke Pines, Miramar, Plantation, Davie, Sunrise, Deerfield Beach and Weston.

What drives the value of a fire protection and security company

• Recurring monitoring, inspection and testing contracts, which buyers value because they repeat on a code-required schedule.

• Installation backlog vs. recurring service revenue.

About Broward County

Broward County sits between Miami-Dade and Palm Beach, with Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Pompano Beach, Coral Springs, Pembroke Pines and Miramar among its cities. It has dense residential neighborhoods, many condo buildings along the coast, Port Everglades, and industrial areas near the airport and along I-95.

Licensing, permits and the transition

Fire sprinkler and fire extinguisher work in Florida is licensed through the Division of State Fire Marshal, while fire alarm and burglar alarm contractors are licensed by the ECLB. Many companies hold more than one license, so the transfer plan is specific to your mix.

Broward County issues a county local business tax receipt through its Records, Taxes and Treasury Division, and most cities also require their own receipt. Locally licensed trades go through the Broward County Central Examining Boards.
