Does Miami Shores require a Re-Occupancy Certificate before selling a home?

Yes. Miami Shores Village requires a Certificate of Re-Occupancy before the sale of any residential property. The inspection verifies that the property is used as a single-family dwelling per the city's zoning code. Any open violations or unpermitted work must be resolved before the certificate can be issued. The certificate is valid for only 2 months. Call AGK Construction & Roofing at (954) 807-3455 if you need violations cleared before your closing.

What is the Energov CSS portal and how does it affect my Miami Shores permit?

Miami Shores Village Building Department requires all permit applications to be submitted through the Energov CSS Citizen Self Service Portal. All permit filing, plan review, and inspection scheduling goes through this system. AGK Construction & Roofing files all Miami Shores permits through Energov CSS on your behalf. Standard processing takes 5-10 business days for residential work.

My Miami Shores property has an unpermitted addition from a previous owner. What do I do?

Open permits and unpermitted additions attach to the property not the previous owner — making you responsible for resolving them as the current owner. AGK Construction & Roofing researches your permit history and files appropriate after-the-fact permits through Energov CSS to bring the property into compliance before your Re-Occupancy inspection.

Does Miami Shores require HVHZ-rated roofing and windows?

Yes. Miami Shores is in Miami-Dade County's High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ). All roofing systems, windows, and doors must carry Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) product approval. AGK installs only NOA-approved products on every Miami Shores project.

How quickly can AGK respond to a Miami Shores code violation?

AGK Construction & Roofing can typically schedule a free on-site inspection within 24 to 48 hours of your call. For urgent situations — a failed Re-Occupancy inspection or an approaching closing date — call (954) 807-3455 and we will prioritize your case immediately. Remember the Re-Occupancy Certificate in Miami Shores expires after 2 months so timing is critical.

How much does it cost to resolve a code violation in Miami Shores?

The cost depends on the type, age, and scope of the violation. AGK offers completely free on-site inspections so you know exactly what is required before making any commitment. Call (954) 807-3455 to schedule your free Miami Shores violation inspection today.

Miami Shores Code Violations & Re-Occupancy Certificate — Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about building code violations and Re-Occupancy Certificate requirements in Miami Shores Village — from the Energov CSS permit portal and 2-month certificate expiry to HVHZ compliance and pre-sale violation clearance.

Yes. Miami Shores Village requires a Certificate of Re-Occupancy before the sale of any residential property in the village. The inspection is conducted by the Miami Shores Village Building Department to verify that the property is being used as a single-family dwelling per the city's zoning code. The certificate certifies only that the property is used for single-family purposes — it does not constitute a warranty as to the condition of the dwelling. Any open violations or unpermitted work must be resolved before the certificate can be issued. Call AGK Construction & Roofing at (954) 807-3455 if you need violations cleared before your closing.

The Miami Shores Re-Occupancy Certificate is valid for only 2 months from the date of issuance. This is unique to Miami Shores — most cities issue certificates that remain valid until closing. Because of the 2-month expiry, we recommend requesting the Re-Occupancy inspection approximately one week before your anticipated closing date. If your closing is delayed and the certificate expires, you will need to apply and pay for a new one. AGK works with your closing timeline to ensure violations are resolved before the certificate window opens.

The Miami Shores Re-Occupancy inspection is primarily a zoning compliance check — the inspector verifies that the property is being used as a single-family dwelling and has not been converted into a multi-family or commercial use. The inspector is looking for second kitchens, evidence of illegal rental units, or structural modifications that suggest multi-family occupancy. The certificate does not constitute a structural, electrical, plumbing, or mechanical inspection — but any obvious code violations or unpermitted additions observed during the visit may be flagged.

As of 2019, the Miami Shores Village Building Department requires all permit applications to be submitted through the Energov CSS Citizen Self Service Portal — an online system for permit filing, plan review, and inspection scheduling. All applicants must set up an online account. AGK Construction & Roofing files all Miami Shores permit applications through Energov CSS on your behalf — you never have to navigate the system yourself. Standard permit processing takes 5–10 business days for most residential work.

This is very common in Miami Shores where many homes date from the 1930s through 1960s and have had multiple owners over the decades. Open permits and unpermitted additions attach to the property — not the previous owner — making you responsible for resolving them as the current owner. AGK Construction & Roofing researches the permit history of your Miami Shores property, identifies all open violations, and files the appropriate after-the-fact permits through the Energov CSS portal to bring the property into compliance before your Re-Occupancy inspection.

Yes. Miami Shores is in Miami-Dade County's High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ). All roofing systems, windows, and exterior doors must carry Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) product approval under the Florida Building Code. If your violation involves a roof or windows installed without HVHZ-rated products, the correction must use NOA-approved materials. AGK installs only HVHZ and NOA-approved products on every Miami Shores project.

AGK Construction & Roofing serves Miami Shores and the surrounding area and can typically schedule a free on-site inspection within 24 to 48 hours of your call. For urgent situations — a failed Re-Occupancy inspection or an approaching closing date — call us directly at (954) 807-3455 and we will prioritize your case immediately. Remember: the Re-Occupancy Certificate in Miami Shores expires after 2 months, so timing is critical.

The cost depends entirely on the type, age, and scope of the violation — the repairs needed, whether engineer drawings are required, and how many permits must be filed through Energov CSS. AGK offers completely free on-site inspections so you know exactly what is required and what it will cost before making any commitment. Call (954) 807-3455 or book online to schedule your free Miami Shores violation inspection today.
