Permits are voided if no transfer is completed within the 120 days of the date of change in ownership or 90 days of permit expiration. Please use the Permit Transfer Form to submit your application.

Home demolition permits

Environmental Resources Management is conducting walk-thru reviews of single-family home demolition permits (up to four units). Applicants for these permits will have to complete an Affidavit for Asbestos Survey/Notice of Demolition or Asbestos Renovation . The affidavit is also available at the Miami-Dade Permitting and Inspection Center (PIC). The completed form needs to be submitted to the Environmental Resources Management counter in PIC for review. 

Once reviewed, if determined that the demolition is in fact not subject to National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) regulations, Environmental Resources Management will approve its portion of the review and the applicant will then return to the building process for completion of the demolition permit. There will be no charge for this review. If the demolition is deemed to be subject to NESHAP regulations, an asbestos survey, a notification and a process fee would be required before approval can be granted.
For more information, please call 786-315-2800.
