Steps

  1. 1

    Resolve the property jurisdiction

    Use official Miami-Dade address, parcel, and municipal-boundary data. Do not infer the permit authority from the postal city name.

    miamidade.gov/propertysearch/
  2. 2

    Check zoning and site constraints

    Review the controlling municipality or County zoning, plus flood, environmental, fire, right-of-way, and utility overlays that may apply.

    miamidade.gov/global/economy/zoning/home.page
  3. 3

    Use the controlling building authority instructions

    Select the permit type and current checklist published by the building authority for the resolved jurisdiction. County municipal reviews may still apply inside incorporated municipalities.

    miamidade.gov/global/economy/review-and-permitting.page
  4. 4

    Submit to the official portal or handoff

    Use the verified destination for the resolved jurisdiction. StartFL does not substitute the County portal for a municipal permit system.

  5. 5

    Complete triggered County reviews

    Environmental, fire, water/sewer, impact-fee, or other Miami-Dade reviews may be required even when a city issues the local building permit.

  6. 6

    Track review, issuance, and inspections

    Follow the official permit record for review comments, fees, issuance, inspection scheduling, and closeout.
