The Miami-Dade Local Code Shield
Every high-tier contractor must hold a valid Miami-Dade County Certificate of Competency or a state-issued DBPR license to operate legally. You must verify that they are pulling permits through the Miami-Dade Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources to ensure work meets the High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) standards. Failing to confirm these credentials leaves you vulnerable to massive fines and non-compliant workmanship that will fail future windstorm mitigation inspections.
