Water remetering allows for individual apartments and units in multi-family dwelling complexes and commercial properties to pay directly for the amount of water they use.
Property management companies and homeowners associations opt to have their individual units remetered, and Miami-Dade County licenses the companies and properties.
A license is required for any person(s) or corporation that provides two or more services (including, but not limited to: submeter installation, submeter reading, billing and record keeping) pertaining to remetering to the owner of a multiple-unit property who purchases water service from the Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department.

Late registration fee: $185.00
Replacement of Registration: $20.00
NOTE: Effective July 1, 2023, Section 163.211, Florida Statutes will preempt the local licensing of Remetering Companies. As a result, applicants seeking a new or renewal registration will be issued a registration with a July 1, 2023 expiration date. The fees will be prorated on a monthly basis to cover the period between the month of issue and July 1, 2023. Property Owner Registrations will still be required.
Property owner fee: $5.00 per submetered residential or commercial unit
The fees are non-refundable. A late fee will apply to renewal applications submitted after the expiration of the current registration. The late fee is in addition to the renewal fee.
Checks or money orders should be made payable to Miami-Dade County / CP. Visa, Mastercard and American Express are accepted when applying online and in person.
