SAME DAY PERMIT PROGRAM

Policy Council · 2026-07-13 · ordinance

Miami-Dade County is creating a Same-Day Permitting Program for certain minor residential projects. This program aims to streamline the permit application process for eligible projects such as fences (under 6 feet), gates, stairs, driveways, pools, windows, doors, roofing, kitchen/bathroom remodels, interior demolition, prefabricated sheds, minor non-structural repairs, and MEP repairs. Projects requiring structural review, located in historic districts, with open code enforcement cases, or to legalize existing violations are excluded. Applicants will need to submit documents electronically prior to review. The County Mayor or designee will implement the program and provide six-month reports on its effectiveness. Fees will be refunded if delays are due to the reviewing department. The ordinance was introduced on 7/7/2026 and amended on 7/13/2026.
