SAME DAY PERMIT PROGRAM

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-06-16 · ordinance

Miami-Dade County legislative item File Number 261075, an ordinance to create Section 8-9 of the Code of Miami-Dade County requiring a same-day permitting program for certain residential projects. Introduced 6/9/2026, adopted on first reading by the Board of County Commissioners on 6/16/2026, and withdrawn at the Policy Council on 7/13/2026. A substitute version is Legislative File No. 261261. The ordinance lists eligible minor residential projects including fences six feet or less, gates, stairs and railings, driveways and pavers, trusses, pools, windows/doors/shutters/skylights/garage doors, roofing and re-roofing, kitchen or bathroom remodels, interior or partial demolition, prefabricated sheds, minor non-structural repairs, and mechanical/electrical/plumbing repair permits. Ineligible projects include those requiring structural review, in historic districts, with open code enforcement cases, or legalizing existing violations. Requires electronic submission of documents and plans prior to an in-person meeting, same-day review and approval where appropriate, implementation through an implementing order, and reports every six months. No specific address, parcel, acreage, or applicant is stated. No public comment sentiment is stated. The business opportunity is a county-wide program for contractors performing minor residential work, enabling same-day permits for listed project types, but the program is not yet implemented and the ordinance was withdrawn in favor of a substitute.
