Hollywood FL Property Records

Property records for Hollywood, Florida are maintained by the Broward County Property Appraiser, which holds ownership data, assessed and taxable values, exemptions, legal descriptions, and sales history for every parcel within city limits. Hollywood is located in southeastern Broward County between Fort Lauderdale and Miami-Dade County, with a large mix of residential, commercial, and waterfront properties. This page explains where to find property records, how to apply for exemptions, how the city's Building Division fits in, and how Florida law governs public access to these records.

Broward County Property Appraiser

The Broward County Property Appraiser (BCPA) is the primary source for Hollywood property records. The office is located at 115 S Andrews Ave., Room 111, Fort Lauderdale FL 33301, phone (954) 357-6830, email bcpamail@bcpa.net. Hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The online search portal is at bcpa.net.

The BCPA's search tool lets you look up any Hollywood parcel by owner name, property address, or parcel identification number. Each record includes ownership history, assessed and taxable value, exemption status, land data, building details (such as year built, square footage, and construction type), and a list of recent sales. The database is updated throughout the year as new deeds are recorded and assessments are revised.

The Broward County Property Appraiser's website is the main portal for searching Hollywood property records online.

Find any Hollywood parcel at bcpa.net by entering an address, owner name, or parcel ID.

Homestead Exemption for Hollywood Homeowners

Florida's homestead exemption is available to Hollywood residents who own and occupy their home as a primary residence. The exemption reduces the taxable assessed value by up to $50,000. The first $25,000 applies to all tax levies; the second $25,000 applies to non-school taxes only.

The application deadline is March 1 each year. Applications filed after that date take effect in the following tax year. To apply, contact the BCPA exemptions team at exemptions@bcpa.net or (954) 357-5579. You can also apply through the online portal at bcpa.net/homestead.asp.

Florida's Save Our Homes cap limits annual increases in a homestead property's assessed value to 3% or the CPI rate, whichever is lower. Over time, this can make a significant difference for Hollywood homeowners whose market values have increased. When a homestead property is sold, the cap resets to market value for the new owner. Portability allows you to transfer the accumulated benefit to a new home in Florida within two years of sale.

Additional exemptions available in Broward County include senior citizen, total disability, veteran, widow and widower, and first responder exemptions. Eligibility and documentation requirements vary by exemption type.

Deed Fraud Protection: Owner Alert

The Broward County Property Appraiser offers a free service called Owner Alert. When you enroll, you receive an email notification any time the BCPA receives a document that could change ownership on your property. This early warning lets you verify whether the change was authorized and act quickly if it was not.

To sign up, email owneralert@bcpa.net or call 954-357-5579. You will need your name, Property ID, and email address. There is no fee to enroll. Given the volume of real estate activity in South Florida, this service is a practical safeguard for any Hollywood property owner, whether the property is a primary home or a rental.

Recorded Documents and the Clerk of Courts

Deeds, mortgages, liens, satisfactions, and other recorded instruments are not held by the Property Appraiser. These documents are filed with the Broward County Clerk of Courts. The Clerk's Official Records database allows public searches online. Certified copies of recorded documents are available for a fee.

Florida's Public Records Law under Chapter 119 makes these records generally open to the public. Fees for certified copies are governed by Chapter 28. For information on how property is assessed and what records are kept, see Chapter 192 and Chapter 193 of the Florida Statutes.
