How It Works
- Free consultation: We review your project scope and confirm which permits and outside agency approvals apply, including whether Fire Department pre-approval, DERM coordination, or 30-year recertification is required before your application can be processed.
- Violation check: We verify at the outset whether any outstanding building violations exist on the property, since unresolved violations block all permit applications from being approved.
- Document collection: We gather your permit application signed and notarized by both owner and contractor qualifier, a signed project contract, plans, product approvals, Fire Penetration Affidavit where required, and your Notice of Commencement.
- Fire and agency coordination: We obtain Fire Department approval before submitting fire-related permits to the Building Department, and coordinate DERM and WASD submittals for commercial and new construction projects.
- Submission: We file your complete North Miami Beach building permit application at 17050 NE 19th Avenue or through the online system, making sure every required document and notarization is in place before submission.
- Follow-up: We track every review cycle, respond to correction comments, and handle resubmittals until approval.
- Delivery: Once your permit is issued, we coordinate inspection scheduling and keep your project moving through every stage to final Certificate of Occupancy.
Why Choose Us
North Miami Beach has several requirements that stop applications before they reach a plan reviewer. Violations, missing notarizations, and Fire Department pre-approval are the most common causes of rejection at the counter.
We know:
- That all outstanding building violations on a property must be resolved and upfront fees paid before any new permit application will be approved, and we check violation status as the first step in every project
- That every permit application must be signed and notarized by both the owner and the contractor qualifier, along with a signed contract showing the cost of the project, and missing any of these three elements results in rejection at intake
- That Fire Department approval is required before submitting any fire-related permit to the Building Department, and we coordinate this as the first step for all applicable project types
- That North Miami Beach offers an Early Start Request Letter for qualifying commercial projects, allowing certain work to begin before full permit issuance, and we identify at the start of every commercial project whether this option is available
- That the 30-year recertification applies to all buildings except single-family residences and duplexes, with recertification required every 10 years thereafter, and threshold buildings require a licensed structural engineer for the structural report and a licensed electrical engineer for the electrical report
- That the Notice of Commencement must be recorded at Miami-Dade County at 44 West Flagler Street and posted at the job site before the first inspection, and failure to do so can result in the property owner paying twice for improvements
- That commercial plan review in North Miami Beach takes 4 to 12 weeks depending on project scope and correction cycles, and most commercial projects go through 2 to 3 correction cycles before final approval
We have helped hundreds of South Florida projects move forward and we are ready to help yours.
