As Mayor, I would like to welcome you to
the city of Pembroke Pines.
We were incorporated in 1960 and our city
now has 151,000 residents, we are the 2nd largest city in Broward
County and the 9th largest municipality in Florida.
Out of all of the full service cities in
Broward, Pembroke Pines has the lowest millage rate while maintaining a very
high tax base. Our Operating millage is currently 4.599 and our Debt Service
Millage is 0.2778..
We were the first municipality to own and
operate a charter school system that has 5200 students. We have pre-k,
elementary, middle and high school. We have an Academic Village that
encompasses FIU, Broward Community College, Barry University, Regional
Library, the Susan B. Katz River of Grass Theater.
We are opening a 450 acre wetland park on
Sheridan Street and US 27 for all to enjoy.
Our 160 acre City Center is currently
being developed to become our downtown center to give residents a place to
reside, and to enjoy recreational activities and outstanding restaurants.
We welcome you to Pembroke Pines.
