What Do These Violations Mean for 15055?

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I buy a property with an expired permit in 15055?
Under Florida law, code violations and open permits transfer with the property. You become responsible for bringing the work into compliance, which may require hiring a licensed contractor, scheduling inspections, and potentially undoing or redoing work that doesn't meet code. Always request a permit search before closing.
Can I get a mortgage on a property with code violations?
It depends on the violation type. FHA and VA loans typically require all open violations to be resolved before closing. Conventional loans may allow some minor violations but not "unsafe structure" designations. Cash buyers have no such restrictions, which is why investors often target these properties.
How do I resolve an expired permit in Miami-Dade County?
Contact the Miami-Dade Building Department to request a re-inspection. If the original work meets current code, you may be able to close the permit with a single inspection visit. If the work doesn't meet code, you'll need to hire a licensed contractor to bring it into compliance before re-inspection.
