Paving and Drainage

Land development within Miami-Dade County must comply with Chapter 28 of the Code of Ordinances. As stated, any permit to construct, and/or alter drainage ways, such as, but not limited to, deepening, widening, filling, rerouting or altering in anyway existing ditches, drain and/or canal will require a written permit from both the County's Department of Transportation & Public Works (DTPW) and the County's Department of Regulatory & Economic Resources (RER).

Paving and Drainage Plan Review Process

As part of its ongoing efforts to improve the development review process, we will now accept paving and drainage plans online for e-review.  This will allow for a concurrent plan review process across multiple county departments within a pre-designated timeframe.  This process improvement for development projects requiring paving and drainage reviews will greatly benefit from an innovative streamlined method, reduced review time periods and provide real time feedback to the applicant.

Paving and drainage plans may now be submitted electronically through the Citizen Self-Service Portal (CSS). You must create an account in order to submit the paving and drainage plans. The following links provide important information regarding plans submission.
