Broward County Courthouse

Overview

Broward County’s new courthouse replaces its 50-year-old, inefficient facility that had been plagued with recurring issues. The new 20-story, 714,000 square foot courthouse houses five divisions (civil, criminal, probate, juvenile and family) of the 17th Judicial Circuit Court of Florida, the second largest jurisdiction in the State of Florida serving a population of over 1.6 million residents.
