Miami-Dade County General Building / Addition-Remodel Permit Timeline
Beta estimate from published county-level data — not yet from live Cleard pipeline data for Miami-Dade County specifically.
Why a general building / addition-remodel permit takes 38–55 days in Miami-Dade County
Even simple permits often take 6–8 weeks from initial submittal to approval. Florida's SB 102 / Section 553.792 imposes strict review deadlines specifically for Miami-Dade permits, requiring qualifying residential reviewers to complete initial review quickly, with applicants given 10 business days to respond to comments.
What reviewers check on a general building / addition-remodel submittal
Additions and remodels get structural review and zoning/setback review layered together, so the plan set has to satisfy two reviewers whose comments arrive independently — a setback correction can restart drawings that already cleared structural.
