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 reduced permit fees for projects using private providers for plans review or inspections, and HB 399 prohibits fees calculated as a percentage of construction costs, requiring fees to relate to the complexity and staff effort involved. The amendments affect building plan review and inspections, building compliance, neighborhood compliance, environmental permitting and inspection, operating permits, zoning, planning, and platting. The changes are intended to be revenue neutral and comply with state law, aiming to maintain timely and transparent permitting processes. The resolution was introduced on 6/4/2026 and amended on 6/16/2026.
