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 introduced on 7/14/2026 and 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 violations are not eligible. The program requires electronic submission of documents and plans prior to an in-person or virtual meeting. Reports are required every six months. If an application is not approved on the same day due to reviewing department delays, the building permit fee shall be reduced by 10 percent per business day. The ordinance becomes effective ten days after enactment unless vetoed. Public comment is not stated in the document.
