Extend Footer Permit For Free

Both the residential and commercial code are mandatory statewide. All new and renovated buildings and additions constructed within the state must comply with this standard. Local jurisdictions may adopt more stringent codes.

Renewals may be requested via the Citizen Self Service (CSS) portal. The application to use is Permit Application Updates (PAU). If the permit was done by owner, then only the owner's notarized signature is required. A renewal fee will be charged according to the current Fee Schedule.

A building permit is not required for a detached accessory structure as long as the structure does not exceed twelve feet (12') in ANY dimension. This means if the building is only 10 feet wide by 12 feet long by 11 feet tall, a building permit will not be required (A zoning permit may still be required).

All construction and development projects require a permit and inspection unless excluded by a code or law.

Failing to obtain a permit when required may result in substantial fines or being ordered to remove the offending project or incur costs to certify compliance with the applicable codes; it depends. What may surprise licensees is how many seemingly minor improvements/repairs may require a permit.

Depending on your city or county, the process likely looks something like this: Reach out to your local building permit office.Fill out the permit as completely as you can.Submit the permit and pay the filing fee.Post the permit on your home or close to where you're completing your project.

Office hours are between am - pm, where residential permits can take 30 days to be processed, while commercial permits can take up to 50 days.

To cancel a permit, submit a completed permit cancellation form to RERPERCAN@miamidade.gov.

A state residential building permit is not required for detached garages, sheds, barns or other detached structures that are not used for living purposes. A building permit must be purchased online or at a local Issue Agent. The cost of the building permit is based on the estimated cost of construction.
