Local field notes
Tamarac's climate rains on pavement rather than freezing it. Nearly two-thirds of the year's rain falls from June through October, often in short, heavy cloudbursts, and the airport station records about 68 days a year at or above 90 degrees. Together these produce a wet, hot base and surface for much of the year, with a drier, cooler window from late fall through spring that is when most paving is done. Hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30.
NOAA 1991-2020 climate normals for the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport station, about 11 miles southeast of Tamarac. Summer thunderstorms are local, so any one storm can drop very different amounts at the airport and in Tamarac; treat these as a regional benchmark, not a measurement taken in the city.
Under the pavement
Tamarac sits on the flat, low coastal ridge of southeast Florida, where the original ground is sandy marine sediment with a water table at or near the surface for much of the year. Developed land is often regraded and filled, so what a given lot sits on depends on its development history as much as the natural soil. There is no frost, but there is almost always water.
What fails here
Pavement that is soft or pumps water under traffic after rain, edges that crumble or drop off beside swales, canals and lakes, and alligator cracking that appears first in the wheel paths of low areas.
Likely causes
When to get it looked at: If the same low spot fails after each wet season, patching the surface is wasted money. Fix the drainage or rebuild the section on a drained base.
A dished or sunken ring of pavement around a catch basin, a long depression following a drainage pipe, or pavement that cracks at a culvert crossing.
Likely causes
When to get it looked at: A new depression over a pipe line can mean the pipe is failing and carrying soil with it. Have the line inspected before re-paving over it.
Puddles that stay long after a storm, potholes that open up across a lot after the wet season, and fine cracking in low corners.
Likely causes
When to get it looked at: Seal cracks and clean inlets before June. A lot that ponds after every downpour has a grading problem that more asphalt will not solve.
Gray, dry surfaces, raveling stone, fine cracking and fast-fading paint on stalls, arrows and accessible-parking symbols.
Likely causes
When to get it looked at: Preservation coatings work on sound pavement. If the surface is cracked in a connected block pattern, resurfacing or rebuilding is the right fix.
Through the year
March through May bring 2 to 6 inches of rain a month, with the wet season starting in May (about 5.6 inches). It is the last dry-ish window for resurfacing, sealing and striping before June.
The wet season. June is the wettest month (about 9.6 inches) and 1-inch rain days come three times in June and September. Plan work around afternoon storms; asphalt laid on a wet base fails early.
September and October are still wet (about 8.0 and 7.4 inches) and the peak of hurricane season. November is the turn back to drier weather and is a good time for post-season inspection, crack sealing and drainage cleaning.
December through February are the driest months, at about 2.4 to 2.9 inches each, and mild, with a January high of about 76 degrees. Frost is not an issue, so winter is the most dependable season for paving in Tamarac.

Local context
Tamarac was incorporated on August 15, 1963, after a developer created an active adult community of maintenance-free homes in the early 1960s. Its early sections, among them Tamarac Lakes and the Mainlands, still define much of the city's grid, and its median age of 47.5 reflects that history.
Before you bid
Resurfacing an existing lot is a different matter from expanding or rebuilding one. The rules come from the state, the water management district, Broward County and the city. None of this is legal advice; confirm with the City of Tamarac and the agencies before a project is bid.
Local answers
Mostly water. The ground is flat and sandy with a seasonal high water table, so a base can stay saturated through the wet season. Cracks let heavy rain reach it, and a saturated base can no longer carry traffic. Settlement at pipes, catch basins and culverts causes a second kind of failure. A repair has to fix the drainage and base, not only the surface.
About 61 inches a year at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood airport station, 11 miles away, with about 18 days a year bringing an inch or more. Roughly 63 percent falls from June through October (our own division of published monthly and annual normals). December through February is the driest period.
No. NOAA's 1991-2020 normals for the nearest long-record station show no days with a low at or below 32 degrees, so frost heave and freeze-thaw cracking are not issues. Pavement here fails from water, heat and loading.
Resurfacing an existing lot in place is usually maintenance. Adding or replacing a large area of pavement can trigger a state Environmental Resource Permit (more than 4,000 square feet of vehicle-traffic surface, among other triggers), and a project that disturbs an acre or more needs construction stormwater coverage. The city and Broward County add their own review, especially near canals or in flood zones.
It maintains about 137 miles of paved roadway and runs a citywide resurfacing program. Recent projects milled and resurfaced the city-owned section of Hiatus Road and the Mainlands sections 1 through 5, adjusting manholes, catch basins and water valves to the new surface, and were financed with surtax funds. The city also repairs culverts and headwalls under a continuing program with a budget of $900,000 every two years.

Soil, drainage and permit requirements vary parcel by parcel and by project, so confirm them with the town, the state agency and a qualified professional before work is scoped.
Regional field notes
Hot, humid subtropical climate
Across the Southeast and Gulf, pavement rarely sees a hard freeze. The main stresses are sun, heat, humidity, and heavy rain. Sun and heat dry out and soften asphalt. Frequent downpours and high water tables punish any lot with poor drainage. So sealcoating and water management do most of the work in this climate.
Strong year-round sun breaks down the asphalt binder, fading and embrittling the surface, while summer heat can soften asphalt enough to scuff and rut under slow, heavy, or turning traffic.
Downpours and tropical moisture expose every drainage weakness. Standing water seeps into cracks and joints, saturates the base, and is one of the fastest ways to shorten pavement life here.
High humidity encourages mildew and organic staining, and aggressive plant and root growth can lift and crack edges and lightly trafficked areas.
