RER FEE UPDATE

Intergovernmental and Economic Impact Committee · 2026-06-10 · resolution

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners amended Implementing Orders (IOs) 4-42, 4-63, and 4-111 to modify fees for regulatory activities within the Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources (RER) and the Department of Environmental Resources Management (DERM). These changes are in response to new state laws: HB 803 requires fee reductions for using private providers for plans review or building inspections, and HB 399 prohibits basing development permit fees on a percentage of construction costs, site costs, or project valuation. The amendments aim to comply with state law, maintain timely and transparent permit processes, and are estimated to be revenue neutral. IO 4-63 covers building plan review, inspections, and compliance. IO 4-42 covers environmental permitting, operating permits, and the delegation of Onsite Sewage Treatment and Disposal Systems (OSTDS). IO 4-111 covers zoning, planning, and platting services. The changes are effective upon the resolution's adoption.
