City of weston - broward county
Nestled on the edge of the Everglades, encompassing 26 square miles, the City of Weston is located convenient to several major thoroughfares including I-75, I-595 and US 27, providing easy access to airports, seaports, downtown Fort Lauderdale, and Miami and Palm Beach counties.
Incorporated in 1996, Weston is one of the nation's largest master planned communities and has evolved as a City whose lifestyle, design and appearance cities around the world wish to emulate. Weston offers a wide-range of housing styles within a community known for its public safety, top rated public and private schools, a vast parks and recreation system, world-class healthcare facilities, a culturally diverse population and an involved corporate community.
Weston is unique in its contract style of government. Weston's privatized building and planning departments offer streamlined permitting and an expedited review process. The assessed value of properties in Weston has soared from $2.3 billion in 1998 to $7.6 billion in 2006, helping the City to maintain an ad valorem tax rate of 1.5235, unchanged since 1998 and the lowest in Broward County - a substantial incentive to businesses looking to locate within our City.
