What Broward actually requires
Every commercial property, HOA, condo, and industrial site in unincorporated Broward and most of its cities holds a Surface Water Management (SWM) license issued by the county's Environmental Engineering and Permitting Division. The license runs five years. Before it expires, the county requires a Florida-licensed professional engineer to inspect the drainage system, confirm it is operating as designed, and certify that in writing. That certification, the inspection report, and the renewal fee are filed with the county to renew the license for another five years.
Why so many licenses lapse
Broward mails a renewal notice before expiration. Many never reach the right desk. The address on file is often the original developer, a former management company, or an owner entity that changed hands without the license being transferred. The property changes hands, the manager changes, and the license quietly expires. An expired SWM license is a code violation with penalties up to $15,000, and it surfaces at the worst time: a sale, a refinance, a permit application, or a county inspection after a flood.
How to check your license right now
Broward publishes every SWM license in its ENVIROS database. Search by property address or owner name and you will see the license number, the expiration date, and the status.

Five steps. Normally four vendors. One contract with us.
- 1
Pre-inspection. We walk the system before any cleaning so the engineer knows what they are certifying and you know what, if anything, needs repair.
- 2
Cleaning. Vacuum-truck cleaning of every drainage structure on the property, documented with before-and-after photos.
- 3
Engineer inspection and certification. A Florida-licensed professional engineer inspects the cleaned system and signs and seals the certification.
- 4
County filing. We prepare and file the complete renewal package with Broward County. The county renewal fee is passed through at cost with a receipt, never marked up.
- 5
Written guarantee. If the county rejects any part of the filing for work within our scope, we fix it and refile at no cost to you.
What you get at the end
A renewed five-year license, the sealed engineer's certification, the inspection report, the photo log of every structure, and a copy of the county filing. The whole file, not just the license, so your next manager, buyer, or auditor has everything in one place.
