Miami-Dade permit tools, in one place.

County review categories as printable checklists, plus the two property-level screens that stall closings and site work: septic feasibility and private-well records. These are MasterBuild working tools. They are not Miami-Dade publications and they are not a permit.

PE field packets (use these)

Original MasterBuild working tools. Not County forms. The County guideline is a list of titles — three packets are the order a PE uses.

Code-title companions (older)

Property-level screens

Septic / OSTDS feasibility

Type 1 is not an option for new construction or complete replacement. Run the four tests before you close or design.

Private-well readiness

The property record is not the well record. Organize evidence before anyone promises a closeout date.

Electrical recertification readiness

For 30-year and legacy 40-year notices. Readiness first; sealing only after the responsible electrical professional confirms authority.

40-year notice — owner clock

Two reports, 90 days, published exemptions. Parking-lot 8C is in the same envelope. We do not quote County fees here.

Code Relief

Not amnesty. Work commenced before March 1, 2002. As-built certificate with a method. Structural soundness is a different professional.

Electrical work-with

FPL drop-and-pick-up is not a new service. 30-day clock. Access every panel.

Fire Rescue second desk

The mechanical permit does not pay Fire. No dollar quotes. Hood and alarm are not included in mechanical.

HB 803 / permit exemptions

The $7,500 rule does not cover mechanical work. Same-amp AC still needs a mechanical permit.

How to apply (folio 30)

Portal, upfront fees before review, 180-day clock, HVAC NOC exception under $15,000.

180-day clock

A fail does not extend. Revision is not a rework. Temp power is not a work-with.

Workforce housing MEP

Expedite is not skipped review. A parapet is not 306.5. Septic still needs the rear 25 percent.

Equipment in the setback

Within 10 feet, the next document is a survey. A louver kills the 0-foot wall.

Variance clock / DIC / moratorium

Three years unused. DIC is not mechanical review. A new condenser is not a fence.

Which County door

Apply, track comments, inspect, pay, recert. The County home page is every department. This is the MEP slice.

What the mechanical reviewer checks

The County guideline is a list of titles. The comment is specific. Official PDFs linked, not copied.

PE field packets

Pre-upload, inspection day, Approved as Noted, fee navigator, electrical, plumbing. Free PDFs. Send the comments, not the County guideline.

Which application?

No dollar quotes. Category 31 is not the mechanical permit. A hood is typically its own row.

Interactive helpers: kitchen pathfinder, outdoor-air estimator, recertification records pack.

Private provider, in Miami-Dade

Plan review, inspections, or both by a private provider instead of County staff, under F.S. 553.791. MasterBuild is a registered private provider firm for mechanical, plumbing, and electrical, on buildings it did not design. How it works and when it is worth it.

Send the folio, the notice, or the comments

Miami-Dade work is faster when the first email includes the address, folio, and the document that created the deadline.
