Can a home project under $7,500 skip a building permit in Miami-Dade County?
Some can, because from July 1, 2026, the County says work valued under $7,500 may qualify for a simplified process with no building permit. It only covers single-family homes, duplexes and townhouses outside any flood hazard area, and electrical, plumbing, structural, mechanical and gas work always needs a permit. We check what applies to your address before we schedule and handle any application your job needs.
