Subdivision Improvement Bonds

All development within Miami-Dade County must comply with Chapter 28 of the Miami-Dade County Subdivision Code, which requires that all parcels have public access. In order to comply with said code, the developer may be required to grant additional right-of-way and provide improvements within the new and existing dedications.

Additionally, the Code requires that the developer post a Subdivision Improvement Bond and provide an associated Agreement for Construction and Maintenance of Subdivision Improvements. The amount of the bond is determined by a Construction Cost Estimate that is calculated by a County Engineer and derived from approved Paving and Drainage (P&D) Plans.

Subdivision Improvement Bonds services are available on the Citizen Self-Service (CSS) Portal. Subdivision Bond Documentation shall be submitted for review and approval through the CSS Portal. Bond Reduction/Releases Inspections may be requested through CSS Portal making it a seamless process and providing progress tracking in real-time in one convenient online location.

In order to submit the Platting Subdivision Improvement Bonds, you'll need an account. If you're not registered, create one online at the CSS Portal.

Furthermore, any reduction and/or final release of the bond requires an inspection and acceptance of the completed improvement by a Miami-Dade County inspector.

In order to proceed with the bond approval, you must submit the original executed documents in person or by mail to the Platting Application Support Team. Contact the RER Platting Application Support at 305-375-1275 or email [email protected] for more information on Miami-Dade County requirements for Subdivision Improvements Bonds.
