Begin with the correct jurisdiction
A Miami mailing address can refer to the City of Miami or another jurisdiction. Start with the actual property address and proposed work. City of Miami publishes separate digital permitting, right-of-way and expediter resources; County approvals may also be relevant.
Make responsibilities clear
Permit coordination is administrative support: organizing application documents, following up on review comments and helping the project team see the next action. Your agreement should say which submissions and follow-up are included. Design changes and technical responses may still need the project’s licensed professionals.
Ask these questions before hiring
Ask who will prepare plans, who answers technical comments, whether contractor registration and outside reviews are included, and how updates will be communicated. Discuss agency fees separately from coordination fees. An expediter cannot guarantee an agency’s approval or a fixed issuance date.
Bring your current record
Send the address, scope, application number and latest comments. If work is already underway, include inspection and permit history. A focused review of those details is more useful than starting a duplicate application.
