Broward County Government offices will close Friday, July 3, giving residents a last chance to finish county business before the observed Independence Day holiday. The county is treating July 3 as the substitute holiday because July 4 falls on a Saturday, and its holiday rule says the preceding Friday becomes the designated day off. Online county services, including ePay and other Broward.org records and tax tools, will stay available.

Regional park gates will be free on July 4 at every Broward County park that normally charges admission. The waiver does not cover the parking fee at Hollywood North Beach Park, or special amenity fees, rentals and special events.
