Permit assistance in City of Miami

City of Miami is its own permitting jurisdiction

Confirm that the property is inside City of Miami boundaries. City building applications use iBuild, while ProjectDox handles digital plans and documents. A property elsewhere with a Miami postal address may use a different department.

Keep application and plan-review tasks together

A renovation or tenant improvement can involve both application tasks and plan-review responses. City digital permitting has file-naming requirements. Right-of-way work uses the separate iPW public-works process, so identify that scope early.

What to send

• Property address and folio or parcel number, if available.
• Scope of work, available plans and survey, and contractor details.
• Existing application numbers, notices, reviewer comments and prior approvals.

Questions before you apply

Is iBuild the same as ProjectDox?

They serve different parts of the City’s electronic review workflow. We help organize the application reference, drawings and reviewer responses so the next required action is clear.

Can you help with a violation or corrections?

Send the notice, deadline and application number. We help track the required responses. Permit issuance, inspections and violation closure are separate agency decisions.

How long will it take?

Timing depends on scope, review cycles and outside approvals. We assess the current record before discussing an estimate.
