How Hialeah Permitting Works
Citizen Self Service portal
Applications, payments and inspections for new permits run through the city's Citizen Self Service portal.
Notarized paperwork
Applications and owner affidavits must be notarized. Condo work needs a notarized association letter, and commercial tenants need the owner's authorization.
City fire review
Hialeah has its own fire department, so fire alarm, sprinkler and other fire plans are reviewed by the city, not Miami-Dade Fire.
Contractor registration
Contractors register with the city before pulling permits, with a notarized qualifier signature. County-licensed contractors also need a Hialeah municipal contractor's license.
Re-occupancy and amnesty
Residential sales need a Certificate of Re-Occupancy inspection, and unpermitted work can often be legalized through the city's amnesty program.
