This department is responsible for issuing all building permits in the City. The city is bound by the Florida Building Code with additional restrictions imposed by our own city code. It is always prudent to check with this department before proceeding with any construction of any type. Failure to get a permit can result in fines to the homeowner and potential shoddy or dangerous work being performed on your building.

Permit fees help defray the cost of inspecting and approving plans. By going through the permit process, you are also provided the service of determining if the products being recommended by your contractor have Miami-Dade County Product Approval. If the product(s) in question do not appear on the list of approved products, your job will not be approved. Since Hurricane Andrew, many products have been disapproved, as they will not stand up to high winds. This may be cumbersome to some people, but in the long run this will save you money and anguish should a storm like Andrew hit Miami Springs head on.
