Planning your work
Miami-Dade County's permit guidance states that any owner, authorised agent or contractor who wants to construct, enlarge, alter, repair, move or demolish a building or structure, or to install, alter, repair, remove, convert or replace any electrical, gas, mechanical or plumbing system regulated by the technical codes, must first submit an application and obtain the required permit for the work. The county adds that its own process is solely for properties with folios that start with 30, meaning unincorporated Miami-Dade County, and that each municipality has its own building official who issues permits within that city limits. Inspection and sweeping are not construction, but rebuilding, relining, liner or damper replacement, firebox work and appliance installation can be. Confirm the address and the proposed scope with Miami-Dade County; the county process covers properties with folios that start with 30, which is unincorporated Miami-Dade County.
