Miami-Dade Concrete Permits: A Step-by-Step Guide for 2026
Every concrete pour in Miami-Dade requires permits, inspections, and product approvals. Here is the exact workflow from application to certificate of completion.
Why Miami-Dade is its own world
Miami-Dade County operates the only Notice of Acceptance (NOA) product approval program in the United States. Every product touching a structural slab, from anchor bolts to admixtures, must carry a current NOA. Out-of-county and out-of-state contractors regularly underestimate this. Learn how it overlaps with HVHZ requirements.
The permit workflow
1. Engineered drawings sealed by a Florida PE.
2. Energy and product approval submittals (NOA list).
3. Online permit application via iBuild Miami-Dade.
4. Plan review (10 to 30 business days).
5. Permit issuance and pre-pour inspection.
6. Pour, cure per ASTM C309, and request final inspection.
7. Certificate of completion or CO.
Common reasons permits get rejected
Missing NOAs for hurricane straps. Slab edge details that don't meet HVHZ uplift. Incomplete soil reports. Engineer not licensed in Florida. Boundary or setback errors.
