Who provides water, sewer and trash service in Lighthouse Point FL?

Who handles water and sewer in Lighthouse Point?

Lighthouse Point does not run its own water and sewer billing. The city's lien-search page says the City "does not bill for water or trash collection services" and refers owners to Broward County for water, sewer and garbage questions (954-831-3250).

The same page notes that the City of Pompano Beach provides water to a small portion of Lighthouse Point (Pompano Beach water: 954-786-4637). Pompano Beach has issued boil-water notices to its "Lighthouse Point water customers," so check which provider serves a particular address. Broward County's Water and Wastewater Services site links to a Utility Provider Map you can use for that check.[1][5][6]

How do garbage, recycling and bulk pickup work?

The city's FAQ says garbage is collected from all residential homes within city limits two days a week, and recycling is picked up once a week. Bulk and yard trash are collected twice a week on your regular trash days. Large bulk items need no appointment; place them at the curb on your regular pickup day.

• Containers for bulk and yard trash must weigh 50 pounds or less and hold 32 gallons or less.
• Bundles must be tied and no longer than four feet.
• Construction materials are not collected.
• Missed trash or recycling pickups: Waste Management, 954-974-7500, option 3.[2]

Where do these charges show up when you buy or sell?

Florida law requires non-ad valorem assessments collected under the uniform method to be included in the combined notice with ad valorem property taxes. The Broward County Property Appraiser's 2025 non-ad valorem recap lists a "Lighthouse Point Solid Waste" assessment, with rates of $575.28 and $525.48 for two categories, and a "Lighthouse Point Stormwater" assessment at $300.00. Rates are set each year, so check the current tax bill for the specific property.

A lien search is a common step before closing. As of 2026, Lighthouse Point routes lien-search requests to its vendor, Orange Data, for a $75 fee plus a $12.50 processing fee (added June 15, 2021), and the search covers open building permits and code violations. Because water accounts sit with Broward County or Pompano Beach rather than the city, ask your title company or a Florida real estate attorney how final utility readings will be handled.[3][4][1]
