The City of Miami’s Building Department is offering a free Concierge Program for certified affordable housing developments that need help getting through the permitting process.

According to the city, participants get dedicated permit coordination and direct access to City reviewers and inspectors. The program also includes joint plan review meetings meant to reduce delays, along with personalized support from permitting through project completion.

Developers can email concierge@miamigov.com or call 305-416-1127 for more information.

The program targets one of the main obstacles to new housing: slow approvals. Projects that stall in permitting can raise costs and delay units for residents who need them.
