A geographic depiction of city boundaries in Broward County, Florida.
City boundary data was last updated April 13th, 2021 and previously on February 22, 2021. A small edit was made between Tamarac and Fort Lauderdale just SW of the Executive Airport. In February adjustments were made between Pembroke Pines, Southwest Ranches and Cooper City where their geographies are coincidence and are meant to follow the northern boundaries of STR geography. Prior to this edit, the City of Coral Springs had annexed four parcels of land from unincorporated Broward County; Ordinances 2018-014 (1 parcel) and 2018-036 (3 parcels), effective Sept 15, 2019. Previously in May 2019, a correction was made to the boundaries of Southwest Ranches and Pembroke Pines at Dykes Road and Sheraton, just north of Sheraton, on the west side of Dykes. Prior to this change, a correction was made to the Lauderhill boundary at the Florida Turnpike interchange located at the Sunrise Blvd entrance on the east side of the turnpike in April 2019; the 1959 Lauderhill incorporation legal description, (Laws of Florida 59-1478) left this thirteen acre area as unincorporated. A 1994 boundary change between Plantation and Lauderhill, (Laws of Florida 94-427) de-annexed five parcels from Plantation and annexed them to Lauderhill in this area. However in 1996, Broward County's Strategic Planning and Growth Management Department made available data sets provided by Broward County’s Planning and Information Technology Division via a CD. This data set depicted this unincorporated area as being part of Lauderhill. This depiction remained such until a boundary adjustment in 2006-2007 incorrectly depicted this as being part of Plantation. In 2009 Broward County was made aware of this error and adjusted it partially using the CD boundary as a template. This resulted in the area being incorrectly assigned to Lauderhill. In September of 2018, Lauderhill revisited this boundary depiction by the County and in 2019 it was concluded this area is unincorporated following the 1959 and the 1994 boundary adjustment legal descriptions.
Prior to April 2019 there were other edits. The previous update of the data was Nov 7th, 2018, adusting the boundaries between Weston and Town of Davie to agree with House Bill 0871 which redefined a small area of their adjoining boundaries in the area of Weston Road and I-75. In July 2018, adjustments were made to the City of Margate to align with a city boundary shape file and written legal description as provided by John Shelton, GIS, City of Margate. The previous update was January 17th, 2018, correcting an unincorporated boundary line of the Triple H Ranch plat area within Parkland. This also reflects an adjustment made to Pembroke Pines southwest boundary between the Turnpike and SR 27 and the Sept 15th 2016 annexations of County unincorporated lands by Parkland. (City Ord 2016-06) and Coconut Creek (City Ord. 2015-027).Also a correction to the Hollywood/Davie boundary in the vicinity of Davie Blvd Ext and N 66 Ave and Oak St, per the City of Hollywood. Recent past boundary changes include annexations of county land to Pembroke Pines and Cooper City in 2015. And a Weston-Davie boundary adjustment in 2015; HB 871. And a July 2015 official resurvey of the City of Fort Lauderdale's boundaries which thus included adjustments to Oakland Park and Pompano Beach boundaries, (F. Gulliano, BC Engineering, M. Donaldson PSM, Fort Lauderdale). Also in 2015, a boundary adjustment was made to the eastern most boundary of Pompano Beach to match it to a more accurate depiction of the coastal erosion line by Broward County; (requested by the city to match their legal description). Further back, the were annexations for Parkland (2013) and Sunrise (Nov 2012) and updates to Lauderdale Lakes (per J. Petrov - BC Engineering 2012) and Plantation (I Reyes, GIS - Plantation 2012).
