Florida Department of Health in Broward County

Biomedical Waste Generator Permit (state-administered)

This permit is included here despite being a state, not a Broward County government, requirement because it is a real obligation for veterinary practices operating in Broward. Veterinary offices are among the facility types Florida law requires to hold a biomedical waste generator permit or an exemption from one, administered by the Florida Department of Health in Broward County — a state agency's local field office, distinct from any Broward County department. The reported fee is about $85 for an initial permit or an on-time renewal and about $105 for a late renewal, on the statewide Florida Department of Health fee schedule; those schedules are typically uniform across the state, and no Broward-specific dollar figure separate from the statewide one is published here. A veterinary practice should apply through the Florida Department of Health in Broward County directly rather than through any county government office.
