What other permits are needed for the Unincorporated Miami-Dade Flood Elevation Certificate before I can start work?
A building permit is required prior to the start of any construction or site development. The Department of Environmental Resources Management (DERM) conducts a Floodplain review, which includes reviewing the proposed elevations of the structure and land surfaces, as part of the building permit process. This question is intended to give you an idea of what other permits may be needed. Depending on your situation, you may need one or more of the above-mentioned permits. Additionally, there may be instances when a permit that is not listed here is required. We encourage you to call the contact number at the bottom of this page to discuss your particular case or to receive additional information.
