/ Miami-Dade · Field packets

PE packets. Not the County title list.

The County mechanical guideline is a list of code titles. These packets are the order a PE uses before the upload, on inspection day, when the stamp says Approved as Noted, and when the clerk asks which fee category you are in. They are Masterbuild working tools. They are not Miami-Dade forms and not copies of County PDFs. Unincorporated folio 30. Confirm the live County page.

Official County papers stay on the County site — commercial mechanical guideline, inspection checklist, Approved as Noted criteria. Open theirs for the title list. Use ours to see which drawing actually closes the comment.

Mechanical pre-upload

Occupancy and process first. Outdoor air, grease, garage height, refrigerant class. Spanish: ES.

Inspection day

Do not call it on a UP#. Job Copy on site. Pad, guards, access. Spanish: ES.

Approved as Noted

Notes on the stamp still bind. Clearances and interlocks get drawn, not noted. Spanish: ES.

MEP fee navigator

Which application you are actually in. No dollar quotes. Category 31 is not the mechanical permit. Spanish: ES.

Electrical pre-upload

Available fault current on the plan. Working space is shown — we do not invent Article 110 numbers. Spanish: ES.

Plumbing pre-upload

A grease interceptor is not a P-trap. Spanish: ES.

40-year owner clock

Two seals, 90 days, published exemptions. Parking-lot 8C is in the same envelope. Spanish: ES.

Electrical recert field-prep

28 County rows plus thermography. A 1987 directory is not the report. Spanish: ES.

Electrical work-with

FPL drop-and-pick-up is not a new service. 30-day clock. Spanish: ES.

Code Relief as-built

Not amnesty. Before March 1, 2002, plus a current life-safety overlay. Spanish: ES.

Blower-door ACH50

CFM50 × 60 ÷ volume. Below 3 ACH50, mechanical ventilation is verified. Spanish: ES.

Plumbing inspection-day

A dry pan is a story. Meter set by the purveyor. Spanish: ES.

Electrical inspection-day

Working space is shown, not stored in. Spanish: ES.

Fire Rescue second desk

The mechanical permit does not pay that bill. No dollar quotes. Spanish: ES.

Duct leakage

Not a blower-door. Rough-in or post-construction. Spanish: ES.

Notice of Commencement

A recording, not a permit. Confirm the live HVAC exception. Spanish: ES.

Mechanical change-out final

Serial on the pad has to match the form. Spanish: ES.

Foundation grounding

Electrode visible before the pour. Spanish: ES.

TCO is not a CO

Occupy under conditions. Fire still a desk. Spanish: ES.

Gas bond

Electrical will catch it is not a bond. Spanish: ES.

180-day clock

A fail does not extend. Spanish: ES.

Temporary power

Not a work-with. Name duration and who removes it. Spanish: ES.

Revision vs rework

Three portal doors. Mixing them burns a review. Spanish: ES.

Workforce housing MEP

Expedite is not skipped review. Spanish: ES.

Screening vs 306.5

A parapet is not roof access. Spanish: ES.

Workforce on septic

25% rear yard. Zoning did not buy the drain field. Spanish: ES.

Equipment in the setback

Within 10 feet, the next document is a survey. Spanish: ES.

Wall openings vs 0-foot

A louver is an opening. Spanish: ES.

Height exemptions

Mechanical enclosures do not count. A parapet over 5 feet does. Spanish: ES.

Variance clock

Three years unused, the Board may take it back. Spanish: ES.

DIC vs permit

A DIC yes is not mechanical approval. Fire sits twice. Spanish: ES.

Building moratorium

A new condenser is not a fence. Spanish: ES.

Which County door: permit portals · fees: which application · mechanical: mechanical review map · electrical: electrical review · plumbing: plumbing review · how to apply: folio 30 · exemptions: HB 803.

What to send

Folio (does it start with 30?), process or UP number, and the comments PDF. Do not send the County guideline as the response.

If the letter is a stack of “see mechanical guideline”

Send the PDF. Masterbuild will say which row is actually open — outdoor air, grease, a special-process exhaust, or a garage mount — and what drawing closes it.

Masterbuild provides engineering services under a written scope. Nothing on this page or in these packets is a County instruction, a copy of a County form, a code interpretation for your project, or a representation about permit approval. Confirm folio, municipality, adopted Florida Building Code, and the live Miami-Dade PDFs. House Bill 803 does not exempt mechanical work. This is not legal advice.
