Miami Beach Permitting
The City uses Civic Access, also called Citizen Self Service, for online permitting, plan and inspection activity. Projects involving two or more trades generally require a master building permit, with trade permits obtained after the master is issued.
Projects We Manage
- Commercial renovations and tenant build-outs
- Building and MEP permits
- Interior alterations and remodeling
- Plan review comments and resubmittals
- County municipal approvals when required
- Inspections, TCO/TCC and closeout coordination
- Expired and open permits
- Code violations & after-the-fact permits
City and County Coordination
Some projects also require Miami-Dade County municipal approvals. We track those outside reviews alongside the City permit so the project team has one clear list of outstanding items.
DERM & County Environmental Approvals
We manage DERM and other required County review submissions alongside the city permit, tracking documents, comments, corrections and approvals. For demolition or renovation, we also identify applicable asbestos-review paperwork with the project team. We also work with licensed asbestos consultants and abatement contractors to coordinate their reports and required paperwork with the permit process.
See our Miami-Dade County guide for County Municipal Approval and asbestos-review information. Requirements depend on the property and scope.
