Building Permits in Miramar

Miramar's Building Division reviews building permit applications, issues permits, and performs building inspections.

Current Code

Miramar states that applications submitted on or after January 1, 2024 are reviewed under the Florida Building Code, 8th Edition (2023). The Florida Building Commission lists the statewide 8th Edition effective date as December 31, 2023; Miramar's application guidance uses January 1, 2024 for its permitting workflow.

Applications

Building permit applications must be submitted through Miramar's online web portal, which the City states is available 24 hours a day. Permit status, payments and inspection services are also available online.

Inspections

Miramar allows inspection requests online or by phone. The City currently states that building inspections scheduled before 3 p.m. will be conducted the next business day. This statement concerns inspection scheduling only and is not presented as a building-plan-review deadline.

Building Safety Inspection Program

Miramar also administers Broward County's Building Safety Inspection Program for qualifying aging buildings. The City publishes separate age, size and occupancy criteria for that program; those requirements should not be confused with ordinary construction-permit inspections.

Fees and Review Timing

Permit charges depend on project and permit type. No generic permit-cost range or universal plan-review duration is used here.
