Source references checked 2026-10-01. How we check sources
After permit issuance, required inspections must be completed through the responsible building authority. Depending on the project and use, closeout can require a Certificate of Occupancy, Certificate of Completion or Certificate of Use. Miami-Dade also supports private-provider inspections when properly elected. The official permit record is the controlling status source for whether a project is actually closed.
