Your Building Project in Miami-Dade County
Whether you want to build a privacy fence around your property or develop a whole new community, you probably have plenty of questions about how the building process works in Miami-Dade County. Do you need a permit? What land use is your property zoned for? Does the work meet code? Who reviews your plans -- the city, the county, or both?

These questions are why we have created the Buildit portal -- a one-stop shop that ties together the facts, tools and resources that most customers will need to carry out a building project.
