Restoration in Miami Beach
Miami Beach's fee guide cuts minor-repair fees after a hurricane: repairs under a total value of $20,000 pay 40% less for three months from the event. Railing repairs are excluded. The repair has to be of substantially similar design, quality and appearance. The guide labeled effective October 1st, 2026 sets the residential single-family or duplex alteration minimum at $118.00, while the guide effective October 1st, 2025 printed $122.00. The newer file's figures match the city's 2024 guide, so it may be an older table under a new label.
Both charge residential work up to $1.5 million at 1.7% of construction cost. Demolition appears only in a sanitation surcharge of 0.30% of estimated project cost, minimum $15.00 and maximum $1,926.00. Two Building Department offices serve the city, 1700 Convention Center Drive and a North Beach office at 962 Normandy Drive, on 305.673.7610. Weekday hours are 8 AM to 4 PM with a lunch closing from 12 PM to 1 PM, and inspections run 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Permits go through the Civic Access portal, and questions to buildinginfo@miamibeachfl.gov. The city doesn't print a code edition year. Miami Beach is a High-Velocity Hurricane Zone city. FEMA's AE and VE zones touch it, and its ACS median year built is 1969. The city's FEMA 50% Rule page totals the job values of every city building permit from the past year against the property value. So a storm repair counts toward the 0.50 line together with any work permitted in the months before it.
