Our in-house contractor licensing and engineering team covers permit issues from A-Z.

A retroactive building permit in Miami is a legal fix for work done without approval. The city wants to see that the work is safe and follows the building code. This is not about punishment. It is about making sure your property is up to standard. We handle the technical drawings and engineering reports. We submit everything to the building department for you.

The industry standard for the local community in Miami-Dade County is a full plan review. This means an inspector will check the work against current codes. Our in house team knows these codes inside and out. We prepare the exact documents the county wants to see. This prevents delays and extra fees. We get your property legally squared away so you can move on.

Straight talk on retroactive permits. See how we handle the fix from notice to final inspection.

What does a retroactive permit cost?

The price depends on the job. A small deck in Coral Gables is different from a full room addition in Kendall. We look at the work done and what the Miami-Dade County inspector needs to see. Things like engineering reviews or bringing old wiring up to NEC code affect the final number. We give you a clear price after we see the site. Call us for the details on your place.

How long does the whole process take?

It is not a one-day fix. The timeline has steps. We first document what was built. Then our in-house engineer may need to draw plans. We submit those to the permit office. Wait times there vary. A simple job might take a few weeks. A complex one in a Miami Beach flood zone takes longer. Our goal is to keep it moving so the daily fines stop.

Where in South Florida do you work?

We cover all of Miami-Dade County. That means the City of Miami, Hialeah, Coral Gables, and Doral. We also work in Broward like Hollywood and Hallandale. The rules change block by block. The permit process for a house in Coconut Grove is not the same as one in Homestead. We know the local offices and their specific checklists.

What is your step-by-step process?

Here is the move. We start with a site visit. We take photos and measurements. Our team figures out what was built without a permit. Then we handle the paperwork. We use our own contractor license to pull the permit. If needed, our engineer stamps the plans. We schedule the inspections. You get one point of contact. We manage it all the way to the final approval.

We know the Miami inspectors and the Florida Building Code. You are not hiring a handyman. You are hiring a team that closes cases. We get the certificate of completion so you can move on.
