/ Miami-Dade · Impact fees

Impact fees are not the mechanical permit sheet.

Live County page: Impact Fees (786-315-2670). Mechanical / electrical / plumbing permit categories are a different document — MEP fee navigator. Packet: impact-fee coordinator (PDF) · ES. Tool: Which bucket and which unit?

• Five County buckets. Mobility (road, bike, and transit — four context zones). Fire and emergency services. Police. Educational facilities. Parks (three districts: North, Middle, South). Road and school impact fees are paid countywide to Miami-Dade. Fire is paid to the County for all municipalities except Miami, Miami Beach, Hialeah, Coral Gables, and Key Biscayne — those cities have their own fire departments.
• The unit is not always a square foot. Dwelling unit, gross square feet, student, bed, pump, court, seat, hole, screen, berth. Office and shopping-center rows also split by building size band.
• Classification traps. Restaurant vs general office. Warehouse vs high-cube fulfillment (sort vs non-sort vs parcel hub vs cold storage). Hotel vs all-suites vs motel vs timeshare vs business hotel. Single-family detached vs attached vs low-rise / mid-rise / high-rise multifamily. Medical office vs clinic vs hospital vs free-standing emergency room. Convenience store vs convenience with gasoline pumps. Fast-food with vs without a drive-through. A change of use can trigger even when no new building is added.
• Workforce / affordable housing is a County exemption path, currently described on the County page as covering housing targeted up to 120% of Area Median Income (AMI). Confirm with Impact Fees. Masterbuild seals MEP. We do not process Housing Agreements, density bonuses, or impact-fee exemptions. See workforce housing still needs a complete MEP set.
• Mobility rates on the County table did not include the 2% administrative fee. Geography (folio / context zone / parks district) is not occupancy. Do not guess the zone from the menu.

Dated snapshot — how to read the County table (not a quote)

Educational snapshot of the County impact-fee schedule the owner provided 17 September 2026. Not a Masterbuild fee. Not a quote. Confirm the live County PDF the day you apply. Mobility figures below are the four context-zone columns in order 1 / 2 / 3 / 4.

• Single-family detached, per unit. Mobility $9,633 / $9,275 / $10,179 / $10,625. Fire $527.55. Police $688.42. School $612 per unit plus $0.918 per gsf. Parks North / Middle / South $4,902.89 / $3,459.68 / $3,084.21.
• Single-family attached, per unit. Mobility $7,355 / $7,082 / $7,772 / $8,112. Same fire / police / school method. Parks $4,146.92 / $2,826.07 / $2,834.46.

• General office 1–50,000 gsf, per sq ft. Mobility $17.610 / $16.954 / $18.607 / $19.422. Larger office bands step down on that sheet — do not use the 1–50k row on a 200,000 gsf building.
• Fine dining, per seat. $966 / $930 / $1,021 / $1,066. High-turnover sit-down, per seat $1,514 / $1,457 / $1,599 / $1,669.

Gasoline / service station, per pump $39,175 / $37,718 / $41,395 / $43,207.

Permit-processing fees (ton, outlet, fixture, sq ft of conditioned space) live on the mechanical / electrical / plumbing sheets — MEP fee-sheet baseline (PDF). Those dollars are not impact fees.
