Miami-Dade has 34 incorporated municipalities, each with its own local building official and local land-use authority or process. StartFL must resolve the parcel boundary first, then use the municipality-specific building portal, zoning/planning resources and permit-history provider. Separate Miami-Dade County reviews such as DERM, fire, water and sewer, impact fees or other County approvals can still overlay a municipal project. A postal city name is not sufficient evidence of the permit authority.
