SAME DAY PERMIT PROGRAM

Policy Council · 2026-07-13 · ordinance

This is a legislative item for a proposed ordinance to create a same-day permitting program for certain minor residential projects in Miami-Dade County. The item was withdrawn on 7/13/2026, with a substitute version filed as Legislative File No. 261261. The ordinance would require 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. The program would require electronic submission of documents and plans prior to an in-person meeting, with same-day review and approval where appropriate. Projects requiring structural review, in historic districts, with open code enforcement cases, or to legalize violations would not be eligible. The County Mayor would submit reports every six months. The ordinance was adopted on first reading on 6/16/2026 and scheduled for a public hearing before the Policy Council on 7/13/2026, where it was withdrawn. No specific address, parcel, size, applicant, or case number for a construction project is stated.
