Geographic Coverage & Key Cities

The 954 area code serves all of Broward County, including Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Pembroke Pines, Coral Springs, Pompano Beach, Plantation, Miramar, Davie, Parkland, and Sunrise. In 2001, the 754 overlay was added, covering the same region and introducing 10-digit dialing.

Miami-Dade operates under a separate set of codes (like 305 and 786), making 954 an unmistakable sign that your business is rooted in Broward. From tourism to marine industries, businesses across Broward use the 954 area code to connect with locals and stand out in a competitive market.
