Source: Miami-Dade County Open Data, Building Permits Issued By Miami-Dade County - 2 Previous Years to Present, read 20 Oct 2026. We count permits issued November 2024 through September 2026; denied and withdrawn permits are left out. The county's public file has no permit status and no final inspection date, so no finished share is shown.
Permits the Miami-Dade County Building Department issues on unincorporated land (folio code 30): Kendall, Westchester, Fontainebleau, The Hammocks, Redland and the other unincorporated areas. Miami, Miami Beach, Hialeah, Coral Gables and the other cities run their own permit offices; the county permits on their parcels are left out here.
