Lauderhill residents can weigh in through the city’s second 2026 community survey
Lauderhill announced a second community-wide survey for 2026 on July 1, giving residents another opportunity to comment on city services and neighborhood conditions as officials prepare the city’s refreshed FY 2027 Strategic Plan.
The city says the survey will help evaluate performance, identify community needs, guide service improvements and shape planning priorities. The city’s strategic-planning documents describe a five-year plan covering fiscal years 2027 through 2031.
What residents are being asked to evaluate
The city says the survey covers city services, neighborhood conditions, local priorities, quality of life and overall satisfaction. Lauderhill’s Community Survey page identifies quality of life, safety, public spaces, communication and satisfaction with city services as core topics.
In practical terms, residents may be asked to assess how they view public safety, parks and other public spaces, city communication and the services they receive. The city’s strategic-planning framework also tracks measures related to safety perception, park amenities, streets and sidewalks, quality of life, housing options, workforce opportunities, communication and the value residents see for their tax dollars.
How the survey is being distributed
Lauderhill’s July 1 announcement says invitations may appear through internet browsing, mobile applications, social media, digital advertisements, pop-ups or other prompts. Residents should confirm the current access method before participating.
The available official materials reviewed for this report do not verify a public closing date. They also do not establish that the survey remains open on August 3, 2026, so residents should check the city’s current invitation or survey page for access and any stated deadline.
How feedback is intended to be used
Lauderhill says survey responses will support service evaluation, performance measurement, service improvements and strategic planning. The city’s supplemental strategic plan connects community feedback with validation of key performance indicators, departmental performance, Commission priorities and budget alignment.
The plan also connects resident feedback with the city’s Quick Wins program, a 90-day performance initiative intended to identify and track visible, short-term improvements. That describes the city’s intended use of survey information; it does not guarantee that any particular project, policy, budget allocation or service change will follow from an individual response.
Why the timing matters
The survey is arriving during the city’s preparation for the FY 2027 plan. The planning timeline provided in the city’s materials calls for draft preparation from June through August 2026, public comment and final edits in September, and plan adoption in October.
The supplemental plan says findings from the 2026 Community Survey and departmental performance data will shape the refreshed plan by aligning policies, goals, performance measures and resources through FY 2031. It also calls for public review and comment before Commission adoption.
What remains unclear
As of August 3, 2026, Lauderhill’s Community Survey page describes the survey topics and lists survey results as “Coming Soon.” That page does not provide a verified public closing date in the materials reviewed for this report.
A May 11 City Commission agenda scheduled a Zencity presentation regarding community survey results. The agenda confirms a planned presentation, but it does not establish that a complete results report had been publicly released.
What Lauderhill residents should do
Residents who receive an invitation should check whether the survey is still available and look for any stated deadline before responding. Residents can also monitor the city’s Community Survey and strategic-planning pages for results, plan updates and later public-comment opportunities.
The practical takeaway is that resident feedback is intended to inform the city’s planning and performance process, but the available official materials do not confirm how long the second survey will remain open or when complete results will be posted.
