Home Remodeling in Davie
Acre lots, barns and a town that protects its western character. Here the job is usually an addition, not a bathroom.
Acre Lots Change the Whole Question
Davie is not a condo market and treating it like one produces useless proposals. The town's agricultural district exists to preserve productive land with lots of an acre and larger, and it deliberately keeps the rural character that the rest of Broward has built over.
So the question owners bring us here is rarely "can you retile the guest bath". It is: can we add nine hundred square feet off the back, can the septic and well take it, where does the addition sit relative to the equestrian trail easement, and does the roofline have to match the western theme.
Those are site questions before they are construction questions. We answer them with a survey, a zoning check and a trip to the property — because on an acre lot the constraint is almost never the building, it is what surrounds it.
Permits and Approvals in Davie
The Town of Davie reviews, and Broward County has a say before the permit is issued.
The Western Theme District
Davie maintains a Western Theme District intended to preserve and promote the town's agricultural and equestrian heritage through architectural design. Inside it, exterior work is expected to hold that character — which shapes rooflines, materials and finishes on an addition.
Agricultural and Equestrian Zoning
The agricultural district provides for lots of an acre or larger to maintain the rural character of the town. Whether livestock is permitted, the minimum lot size, animal limits and the setbacks for barns and fencing all follow from the zoning district your parcel sits in.
Trail Easements Are Real
A lot owner may not build a fence that encroaches on or blocks a recreation or equestrian trail. On properties that back onto the trail network this decides where an addition, a pool deck or a paddock fence can physically go.
Broward Environmental Sign-Off
Broward County Environmental Protection approval must be received before the building permit is issued. On acre properties with a well or septic that is not a formality, and it belongs in the schedule from day one.
What We Build in Davie
Recent Work in Davie
The city, the room and how long it actually took — the three things a portfolio usually leaves out.
Primary Suite Added Off the Back Elevation
What Davie Owners Say
The specific ones — what went right, what got fixed, and how long it took.
We are on just over an acre with horses, and the addition had to clear the trail easement at the back. Bronze had the survey done before they quoted and moved the footprint eight feet. Nobody else even raised it.
Four stars and I will explain. The county environmental sign-off took longer than anyone expected and it pushed our start. They had told us it was the risk item, so it was not a surprise — but it was still six weeks.
Questions from Davie Owners
Usually yes, and there is normally room to do it well. What decides the footprint is the zoning district, the setbacks, the septic and well locations and any trail easement at the boundary. We pull all four before we draw anything.
It depends on where the parcel sits. Inside the theme district, exterior design is expected to hold the town's agricultural and equestrian character, which affects rooflines and materials. We confirm the designation at the zoning check.
We build permitted structures — an outbuilding is a permitted structure with setbacks and, for livestock, animal limits attached. What matters is that it is engineered and inspected, not thrown up over a weekend, because an unpermitted structure becomes a problem the day you sell.
Yes. Broward County is inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone along with Miami-Dade, so windows, doors and roof assemblies here carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance — the same standard as a job in Miami.
