📤 How to Submit Your Recertification Documents – City of South Miami

Buildings in South Miami that reach their required milestone (typically at 40 years and every 10 years thereafter under Miami‑Dade County Code) must complete structural and electrical inspections and submit recertification reports to the City’s Building Division.

The City of South Miami Building Division handles permits, plan review, and inspections, including recertification review in coordination with Miami‑Dade County guidelines. There is currently no separate online portal for recertification submissions; reports are typically delivered to the Building Division per the city’s procedures.
