OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING APPENDIX A, "FEE
SCHEDULE," TO REVISE AND ESTABLISH FEES CHARGED FOR
REINSPECTION ON BUILDING PERMITS; PROVIDING FOR REPEALER,

RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the attached Ordinance.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY
On the December 2, 2020, at the Neighborhood and Quality of Life Committee
meeting/Building Department Workshop, Commissioners determined that the current
reinspection fees adversely affect smaller construction projects. The Building Department was
tasked with evaluating the reinspection fees for possible reduction. During the evaluation, the
Administration also found an opportunity to provide additional relief to smaller projects by
amending revision fees. Other fee items in Appendix A were also identified as needing
clarification in their descriptions of the fee.
ANALYSIS
The Building Department continues to review the fee schedule on an annual basis and the
Building Director has determined it appropriate to recommend that the following amendments to
Appendix A, "Fee Schedule", are needed:
• Modifying fees for the reinspection of building permits, in compliance with F.S.553.80(2)
(c)from $204 to $86 per reinspection, starting with the 3rd inspection (first inspection and
one reinspection is free)and each subsequent inspection. Minimal fiscal impact.
• Adding a bracket to 14-61(e) "Revised plans processing fee" to include a bracket for 1-5
revised pages at a reduced fee of $204 for Commercial projects, and $102 for
Residential projects. Minimal fiscal impact.
• Clarifying descriptions of fees. No fiscal impact.
