Resolution 2025-33624 RESOLUTION NO. 202533624
A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, ADOPTING AS A 2025 STATE LEGISLATIVE
PRIORITY THE AUTHORIZATION OF LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO
ESTABLISH "SELF-CERTIFICATION" PROGRAMS FOR PLANS REVIEW
AND BUILDING INSPECTION SERVICES, AND URGING THE FLORIDA
LEGISLATURE TO ENACT AMENDMENTS TO FLORIDA STATUTES TO
EXPRESSLY ALLOW COUNTIES AND MUNICIPALITIES TO REGULATE
AND OVERSEE THE USE OF SELF-CERTIFICATION PROCEDURES.
WHEREAS, the City of Miami Beach, like many local governments across the State
of Florida, faces increasing demand for efficient and timely building permitting and inspection
services, which are essential to responsible development, public safety, and economic
growth; and
WHEREAS, to promote greater flexibility, efficiency, and professional accountability
in the construction and development process, the City supports the implementation of a "self-
certification" program that would allow qualified architects and engineers to certify
compliance with applicable building codes in connection with plans review and inspection
services, subject to local oversight; and
WHEREAS, existing provisions of Florida law impose restrictions on the ability of
private design professionals, when employed by a local government, to perform plans review
or inspections on projects they have designed, but do not clearly authorize local governments
to establish and manage their own self-certification programs for such services; and
WHEREAS, the City of Miami Beach urges the Florida Legislature to amend relevant
statutory provisions, including sections 553.791, 471.045, and 481222, Florida Statutes, to
expressly recognize the authority of counties and municipalities to adopt ordinances
establishing procedures, standards, and oversight mechanisms for the use of self-
certification in plans review and building inspections for specified projects, in the manner set
forth in the proposed legislative amendments attached as Exhibit "A"to this Resolution; and
WHEREAS, these proposed statutory amendments would clarify that local
governments may regulate self-certification programs, including through safeguards such as
registration, audits, documentation requirements, penalties for noncompliance, and
indemnification provisions to protect the public interest and ensure accountability; and
WHEREAS, the adoption of such legislative amendments would enhance the City's
ability to deliver effective, streamlined, and accountable building regulatory services in a
manner tailored to local needs and capacities.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT DULY RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND THE CITY
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, that the Mayor and City
Commission hereby adopts as a 2025 State legislative priority the authorization of local
governments to establish "self-certification" programs for plans review and building
inspection services, and urges the Florida legislature to enact amendments to Florida
Statutes to expressly allow counties and municipalities to regulate and oversee the use of
self-certification procedures.
