Dear Mr.Schneider:
Your letter regarding the unification of Dania Beach under one ZIP Code was forwarded to me on
Monday, August 28, 2017 for research and response. The concern is to have all of Dania Beach
residents serviced by one ZIP code.
I may need to reach out to the city of Dania Beach for needed information to help in the review of the
request.
I will be investigating this matter with a final determination made within 60-Days.
If you have any questions on this matter, please feel free to contact me at 305.470.0356
