Why Choose Us
North Bay Village has several requirements that are not commonly found in other Miami-Dade municipalities. Condominium unit owner-builder permits are not available, all trades must submit simultaneously, and structures over three stories require off-duty police on site from permit approval to Certificate of Occupancy.
We know:
- That all permit applications must be emailed to buildingclerk@nbvillage.com since the village has accepted only digital applications since April 1, 2022, and showing up at the counter with paper documents results in rejection
- That all trade permit applications must be submitted together with the master permit at the same time, and submitting trades separately after the master permit is filed requires starting the trade application process over
- That plans must be digitally signed and sealed for all projects valued at $25,000 or more, and unsigned or physically stamped plans for projects at this threshold are rejected before review begins
- That owner-builder permits are only available for projects at the applicant's primary residence and are not available for condominium units under any circumstances, and condo unit owners must hire a licensed contractor for all permitted work
- That work in condo common areas including windows, doors, shutters, and balconies requires a Condominium Approval Letter, and submissions without this letter for applicable scope of work are rejected at intake
- That a Construction Cost Affidavit must be executed with every permit application and is not optional regardless of project size or type
- That for walkway and driveway permits, front yard coverage calculations and perviousness specifications of proposed materials must be submitted alongside the standard permit package
