Why Choose Us
Miami Springs has the most granular permit trigger rules in Miami-Dade County. Most homeowners and contractors do not realize that gutters, fascia, cabinet replacements, gravel driveways, and any permanent ground covering all required permits in Miami Springs regardless of cost.
We know:
- That Miami Springs requires permits for gutters, fascia, all drywall, all stucco, structural work, exterior windows and doors, cabinet replacements, and all slabs, pavers, driveways, walkways, and permanent ground covering including gravel, items that do not require permits in most other Miami-Dade cities
- That roofing work valued at over $300 or covering more than 3 squares requires a permit, and any roofing with hot mop or structural components requires a permit regardless of value, using the HVHZ High Velocity Hurricane Zone Uniform Permit Application Form
- That fencing post or pole replacements require a permit while changing only chain link or wood panels without replacing posts does not, making the distinction between post and panel work critical for every fencing project
- That cabinet replacement requires a miscellaneous permit because electrical outlets must be upgraded to current code distance, number, and GFI requirements whenever cabinets are replaced
- That the city enforces a 40-year building recertification program and all recertification reports must use current Miami-Dade County approved templates, and late submissions trigger fees and code compliance notices
- That Re-Occupancy Inspection Certificates are required when changing tenants in commercial or residential properties, and a new tenant cannot legally occupy a space without this certificate
- That Miami Springs is adjacent to Miami International Airport and strict zoning regulations apply to building heights and land uses, particularly for properties near the airport approach corridors
- That the city offers a Survey Affidavit Request Form as an alternative when a current survey is not available, which can save significant time and cost on projects where a new survey would otherwise be required
