How a permit moves through City of North Miami

Where the application starts

More than one way

Six scopes may be applied for in the City’s E-Services account (stand-alone electrical, stand-alone plumbing, stand-alone windows and doors, commercial and residential roofs, small interior renovations); everything else — owner-builders, additions, new construction included — is an in-person application on the printed Building Permit Application. NOTE: the City reports its online permit application system temporarily unavailable and names in-person intake for emergency permits meanwhile.
