Eligible categories
Projects the City lists for express review
Official City document checklists are live for windows/doors, roofing, fences, kitchen/bath/laundry/cabinet/soffit repairs, standalone driveways, stairs, railings, interior demolition and truss. Pool gets an eligibility result only, until an official applicant checklist is available.
Why this exists
Same-day review only works if the package is complete
Miami’s express services can turn a small residential permit around in a day. But a missing product approval, an old survey or an unfinished ProjectDox task sends you back to the queue.
We turn the City’s published checklists into a short, plain-language check you can do on your phone — and tell you exactly where each requirement comes from.
