Port Everglades Administration

The County Board of County Commissioners is operated by numerous divisions, each with responsibility for specific functions.

The Port Everglades Administration Building, where offices of the port director and most divisions are located, is a six-story building with a glass facade and red trim that stands at 1850 Eller Drive, near the center of the port. The Administration Building is accessed most easily by taking I-595 East straight into the port. Visitors must register with security personnel at the first-floor checkpoint.
