Broward County, seated in Fort Lauderdale, is located on the Atlantic coast in southeast Florida midway between Miami-Dade County and Palm Beach County. Broward encompasses 31 separate municipalities and is among the largest counties in the United States. The County has experienced explosive growth in people and development since the 1970s. It is now an urban county with an ethnically diverse permanent population in excess of 1.9 million.

The County boasts 23 miles of beaches, an average January temperature of 70 degrees, award-winning parks and library systems, a wide array of professional sport teams and sporting venues, excellent colleges and universities, outstanding cultural amenities and unsurpassed shopping and dining establishments.

Broward County is governed by a nine-member Board of County Commissioners (BOCC). Commissioners are elected by district in partisan elections to four-year staggered terms. The County Mayor and Vice Mayor are annually elected by the BOCC. The BOCC appoints a professionally qualified County Administrator, a County Attorney and a County Auditor. Broward County voters also elect a Supervisor of Elections, a Property Appraiser and a Sheriff. These constitutional officers manage their own agencies but rely on the BOCC for funding. All other County functions fall under the responsibility of the BOCC and are managed by the County Administrator. The County currently employs approximately 5,200 FTEs under the County Administrator and its FY 2016 budget is approximately $4.2 B.
