Planning your work
Miami-Dade County's building department publishes separate permit checklists for replacement windows, glass doors, exterior doors and shutters. Each one asks for a completed building permit application, a frontal elevation of the exterior wall showing where the products go together with their product approval numbers, and the current Notice of Acceptance of each window, glass door, door or mullion used. The county also states that each municipality in Miami-Dade has its own building official who issues permits within that city limits. Confirm the address and the proposed scope with Miami-Dade County; the county process covers properties with folios that start with 30, which is unincorporated Miami-Dade County. The checklists describe what a department asks for; they do not decide whether a particular product or opening qualifies at your property.
