Miami-Dade County's Department of Building and Neighborhood Compliance, along with various municipalities, will periodically mail letters to owners of properties that are over 40 years old.

Although the building information is obtained from records at the Office of the Property Appraiser, the Department of Building and Neighborhood Compliance is the agency handling recertification of the structure(s).

Any questions regarding the requirements and specifications for 40 year recertification should be directed to that department.

If your property is located within Unincorporated Miami-Dade County, please direct all inquiries to 786-315-2325 or 786-315-2374.

If you feel your property information is incorrect, or you wish to review the property Appraiser's building file please contact the Property Appraiser's Public Service section at 305-375-1205 to request building records.
