Broward County Building Safety Inspection Program

The Broward County Administrative Provisions of the Florida Building Code has established a Building Safety Inspection Program for buildings 25 years old or older; subsequent inspections required every ten (10) years thereafter, regardless of when the previous inspection report was finalized or filed.

For complete details and/or to obtain the required forms, please visit https://www.broward.org/CodeAppeals/Pages/SafetyInspectionProgram.aspx

If/when the Building Safety Inspection Program affects your property, the City of Plantation Department of Building Safety will send the property owner, association, management company and/or duly authorized representative a letter via certified mail, which will include the Record ID (BDCERT*) # assigned.  The letter will provide information on what steps to take thereafter.

Please be aware that all required documentation for this program is to be submitted electronically; the Narrative and Safety Inspection Reports shall be digitally Signed & Sealed in order to be validated.

In order to submit your documents, you shall complete BOTH steps below:

1. Register for an online account; please visit Accela Citizen Access (ACA) and click Register (located at the top right of the screen) to get started.
2. Once you receive the email that you have successfully registered, please forward said email to Pamela Ellis at pellis@plantation.org requesting to connect said account to the applicable Recertification record; be sure to include the assigned BDCERT #.  This will be required in order for you to access and upload the required documents for this program.
