Welcome to the Town of Davie
In March 2001, the people of Davie voted for a charter amendment to adopt legislation to ensure the preservation of the Town’s rural character and equestrian lifestyle. This referendum passed with nearly a 90 percent majority.
Davie is “farm friendly” and the Town Council has been farsighted in adopting legislation to encourage, protect, and preserve agriculture in the community, the first branch of local government in the state of Florida to do so. Town ordinances and state statutes pertaining to farms and agricultural use, which are scattered throughout local and state law, have been compiled into this pamphlet by the Davie Agricultural Advisory Board for your assistance. This Board will also assist individuals with farm-related issues.
Davie is home to many horse farms and nurseries and has a network of over 165 miles (and growing) of trails linking the community to hundreds of acres of equestrian-friendly county and town parks. Davie takes preserving its rural character seriously and has earmarked several major agricultural corridors for special attention. In September, 2005, the voters of Davie approved a $25,000,000 bond to acquire more land for parks and open spaces, to improve existing parks and to complete the recreational trail system.
Whether you are looking for land to start up or to relocate an agricultural operation or already own a farm in Davie, this guide has been prepared to inform you of your rights to various exemptions for farms according to Davie ordinances and state law.
