Pembroke Pines at a Glance
A city that grew from dairy farms into one of South Florida's largest suburbs, with homes, parks and campuses spread across southern Broward.
Broward's Pet Tag, in Plain Terms
Pembroke Pines follows the county rule. A Florida housing provider may ask for proof of licensing and vaccination, so this tag belongs in your paperwork too.
Dogs and cats
Every dog and cat four months or older must be registered with Broward County and wear the county tag.
A tag for life
The county now sells a lifetime tag once and renews the registration every year after that.
Rabies first
Bring a current rabies certificate from your veterinarian to buy the tag and again at each renewal.

Pembroke Pines FAQ
Can I get an ESA letter online in Pembroke Pines?
Yes. The screening and evaluation happen online, and the clinician who reviews your case is licensed in Florida, which is what a Pembroke Pines landlord is entitled to check.
Which letter do I need for two dogs?
Our multiple-pet housing letter lists every approved animal on one letter and covers up to three emotional support dogs or cats in the same home.
Does my cat need a Broward County tag in Pembroke Pines?
Yes. Broward County requires dogs and cats four months and older to be registered and to wear a county tag, and a current rabies certificate is needed to buy or renew it.
How soon will my letter arrive?
If the clinician approves you, the letter is delivered digitally, usually within 24 to 48 hours after payment. The screening itself takes only a few minutes.
My community has an HOA. Who do I send the letter to?
Send it to whoever enforces the animal rule. In many Pembroke Pines subdivisions that is the homeowners association or its management company, and a renter may need to copy both the owner and the association.
Do you charge if I do not qualify?
No. The first screening is free, and you only pay if a clinician finds you eligible and you decide to go ahead.
