📤 How to Submit Your Recertification Documents – Florida City

When a building in Florida City reaches its recertification milestone (typically at 40 years and every 10 years thereafter under Miami‑Dade County requirements), the owner must have the building inspected and submit structural and electrical inspection reports to the city’s Building & Zoning Department.

The City of Florida City’s Community Development and Building & Zoning Department handles permit applications, plan review, and building inspections. There is currently no dedicated online portal for submitting recertification reports — documents are generally delivered directly to the department as part of a permit or review process.

📌 Submission Steps

1

Hire a Licensed Professional

Contract a Florida‑licensed Professional Engineer or Architect to perform the structural and electrical inspections required for recertification.

Contact Florida Builders Engineers and Inspectors:
305‑895‑8001
to complete your recertification efficiently and professionally.
2

Prepare Inspection Reports

The licensed professional prepares detailed structural and electrical inspection reports, signed and sealed, certifying the building’s condition.

3

Submit to Building & Zoning

Deliver the complete recertification packet — inspection reports and documentation — to the Florida City Building & Zoning Department during business hours.

4

Follow Up & Repairs

If issues are identified, obtain any permits required for repairs and complete them before final recertification approval.

⚠️ Failure to submit required recertification documents on time can result in code enforcement actions or penalties under Miami‑Dade County building recertification laws.
