City Offices to Close for Independence Day Holiday in 2024

Fort Lauderdale residents should mark their calendars: City of Fort Lauderdale administrative offices and non-emergency services will be closed on Thursday, July 4th, and Friday, July 5th, 2024, in observance of the Independence Day holiday. This closure will affect various city departments, including those located at City Hall on Andrews Avenue in the heart of downtown.

While most city operations will pause, essential services such as police and fire rescue will continue to operate without interruption. Residents needing emergency assistance should still call 911. Details regarding sanitation schedules for the holiday period are typically announced closer to the date; residents are encouraged to check the city's official website or local announcements in late June 2024 for specific collection changes, particularly in waterfront neighborhoods like those along the New River.

The extended closure allows city employees to celebrate the national holiday with their families, perhaps enjoying the sunny beaches of Broward County. Regular business hours for all affected city offices and services are expected to resume on Monday, July 8th, 2024.
