Permits & licenses in Miami Gardens.
Permitting in Miami Gardens runs on the Florida Building Code — one code, adopted statewide by the Florida Building Commission — enforced by the local building official. Inside a municipal line the city's building department holds the file; outside it the county's does. The code does not change at the boundary. The counter, the portal, and the submittal do.
- The City of Miami Gardens Building Services Department, which embraces the Building, Engineering, and Business Licensing and Housing Compliance divisions, reviews, issues and inspects building permits inside the city.
- Permit and plan applications, electronic plan packages, invoices and corrections run through Citizen Self Service, the city's Tyler EnerGov portal.

How it moves
Your package is reviewed against the current Miami Gardens submission requirements before it's filed — forms, editions, scales, signatures. Then it's tracked in the queue and carried through comments. A resubmittal means the back of the line; the pre-filing review is there to help keep you out of it. The habit comes from volume: the team has processed 400+ permits annually across Maryland, D.C., and Virginia counters.
