SAME DAY PERMIT PROGRAM

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-07-21 · ordinance

The document is a legislative item for an ordinance creating a same-day permitting program for certain residential projects in Miami-Dade County. It was adopted on 7/21/2026. The ordinance requires the County Mayor or designee to develop and implement a same-day permitting program for eligible applications, including building permits, public works permits, or zoning improvement permits for specific minor residential projects. Projects requiring structural review, in historic districts, with open code enforcement cases, or to legalize existing violations are not eligible. The program requires electronic submission of documents and plans prior to an in-person or virtual meeting, with same-day review and approval as appropriate. Reports are required every six months. For applications not approved on the same day, if the delay was caused by the reviewing department, the building permit fee shall be reduced by 10 percent per business day. The ordinance becomes effective ten days after enactment unless vetoed. No specific address, parcel, size, or applicant is stated.
