Do City of Miami residents receive any preference in the selection process?
City Residents are defined as individuals who live within the municipal limits of the City of Miami and provide two (2) acceptable forms of residency at the time of application and subsequently at the time of interview. Applicants bear the duty of providing adequate documentation at the time of application, in order for residency to be established. If an applicant moves out of the limits of the City of Miami after time of application and prior to appointment, then he or she will not be granted the selection preference. Should it be determined during the application or employment process or subsequent to hire that information concerning City residency has been falsified, it may serve as grounds for disqualification, or termination, if an individual has already been employed. NOTE: Once employed with the City, no additional preference is provided to City residents, hence, no residency preference is provided for promotional or restricted recruitments.
