Miami-Dade Inspection Routes: How to Track, Request and Check Building Inspections

If you are searching for a Miami-Dade inspection route, there are several County inspection tools that do different things.

The right website depends on what you are trying to do.

Here is the simple version:

Inspection Routes & Results - Check whether your inspection is on today's route and see its position.

Inspection Request - Schedule a building inspection.

Inspection History - Review previous inspection activity and results.

Fire Inspection Routes - Track Miami-Dade Fire Rescue inspections.

City of Miami Inspections - Use a different system for permits handled by the City of Miami.

Below are the official links and an explanation of what each one does.

If you want to know whether your building inspection is scheduled for today, this is probably the page you are looking for.

Official Miami-Dade Inspection Routes & Results:

[Check Today's Miami-Dade Inspection Route](https://www.miamidade.gov/Apps/RER/Mobile3/Home/PermitRoutes)

Miami-Dade County lets you search using a:

• permit number • Certificate of Use number • boiler certificate number

The system shows the inspector assigned to the route and a list of inspections scheduled for that day.

Your inspection is highlighted so you can see its position on the inspector's route.

Miami-Dade says inspector routes are being reordered between 7:00 a.m. and 8:15 a.m.

Check your position again after that time.

If your inspection does not appear after the routes have been organized, Miami-Dade says it is likely not scheduled for that day.

For inspection assistance, the County lists the Permit Counter at 786-315-2100.

Miami-Dade states that inspections with a status of Bad Weather or Carry Over are automatically scheduled for the next business day's inspection route.

Checking an inspection route and requesting an inspection are two different things.

The Inspection Routes & Results page does not schedule your inspection.

To request a building inspection, use the Miami-Dade Building Permit Selection Menu.

[Request a Miami-Dade Building Inspection](https://www.miamidade.gov/Apps/RER/ePermittingMenu/Home/Permits)

Choose:

Permit Inspection Request

Miami-Dade says you need:

• your permit number • the correct three-digit inspection code

Your inspection code may be listed on the Permit Card under Required Inspections.

You can also use Miami-Dade's official inspection-code list:

[View Miami-Dade Inspection Codes](https://www.miamidade.gov/global/economy/building/inspection-codes.page)

Inspection codes are available for trades and inspection types including:

• building • electrical • mechanical • plumbing • roofing • fire • zoning • temporary certificates

Use the inspection requirement connected to your actual permit instead of guessing the code.

If an inspection already happened and you want to see previous activity, use the Building Permit Selection Menu.

[Check Miami-Dade Permit Inspection History](https://www.miamidade.gov/Apps/RER/ePermittingMenu/Home/Permits)

Choose:

Permit Inspection History

Then enter the permit number.

Inspection history can help you see whether an inspection:

• was completed • passed • failed • has previous activity • may need another inspection

The same Miami-Dade system also provides tools for:

• permit history • inspection holds • outstanding requirements • permit project status • open permits

That can be useful when a permit has been active for a long time or you are trying to understand why it is still incomplete.

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue uses a separate inspection route system.

If you are waiting for a Fire inspection, use the Fire Routes & Results page instead of the normal building inspection route page.

[Check Miami-Dade Fire Inspection Routes & Results](https://bldgadmin.miamidade.gov/MDFR/map_route.asp)

The Fire system lets you enter a permit number and select a date.

It can show:

• inspections scheduled for that day • the assigned inspector • your permit's position in the inspection order • inspection comments when available

The regular Miami-Dade Inspection Routes & Results page also directs people to the separate Fire system for Fire Rescue inspections.

Miami-Dade County and the City of Miami are different permitting jurisdictions.

If your permit was issued by the City of Miami, the Miami-Dade County inspection route page may not be the correct tool.

The City of Miami has its own Building Department and inspection system.

[City of Miami Inspection Services](https://www.miami.gov/Permits-Construction/Inspections)

The City provides separate tools to:

• schedule a building inspection • track a building inspector • review inspection history

Before tracking an inspection, confirm which government agency issued the permit.

These two services are easy to mix up.

Use this when you still need to schedule the inspection.

You generally need the permit number and three-digit inspection code.

[Request an Inspection](https://www.miamidade.gov/Apps/RER/ePermittingMenu/Home/Permits)

Use this after the inspection has been scheduled and you want to know whether it is on today's route.

[Track Today's Inspection](https://www.miamidade.gov/Apps/RER/Mobile3/Home/PermitRoutes)

A simple way to remember it:

Request first. Track second.

Miami-Dade uses three-digit codes to identify the inspection being requested.

The County's current inspection-code list includes codes for inspections such as:

• Building Final • Foundation • Framing • Fence Foundation • Electrical Final • Electrical Rough • Mechanical Final • Plumbing Final • Roofing Final • Fire inspections • Temporary Certificate of Occupancy inspections

The correct code depends on your permit and the work being inspected.

[View the Official Miami-Dade Inspection Code List](https://www.miamidade.gov/global/economy/building/inspection-codes.page)

Your Permit Card can also show the required inspections for your project.

Miami-Dade says building inspections are generally performed between 8:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.

The inspection route can change during the day.

Your position on the route is useful for tracking, but it should not be treated as a guaranteed appointment time.

Start by confirming that the inspection was actually requested.

Then check the route again after Miami-Dade finishes reorganizing inspector routes in the morning.

You can also review:

• inspection history • inspection holds • permit status • outstanding permit requirements

Use the County's Building Permit Selection Menu:

[Miami-Dade Building Permit and Inspection Tools](https://www.miamidade.gov/Apps/RER/ePermittingMenu/Home/Permits)

If the inspection still does not appear, contact the Miami-Dade Permit Counter for assistance.

A failed inspection may mean something needs to be corrected before the project can move forward.

The next steps can include:

1. Review the inspection result. 2. Review inspector comments. 3. Correct the work or documentation. 4. Resolve related permit issues. 5. Request the required reinspection. 6. Track the new inspection. 7. Complete remaining final inspections.

A failed inspection does not always explain every remaining permit requirement.

Permit history, inspector comments, related trade permits, corrections, holds, and outstanding requirements may also need to be reviewed.

A reinspection is another inspection after a previous inspection did not receive the required approval.

Before requesting the reinspection, review the prior inspection result and make sure the issue identified by the inspector has been addressed.

The permit may also have a reinspection fee or inspection hold that needs attention before another inspection can be scheduled.

Check the actual permit record for current requirements.

A permit can remain incomplete even when the physical work looks finished.

One common reason is a missing final inspection.

Different trades may have their own required finals, including:

• building • electrical • plumbing • mechanical • roofing • fire • zoning

The exact inspections depend on the permit.

Completing required final inspections is an important part of moving a permit toward Permit Closure.

Miami-Dade conducts some inspections virtually.

The County states that virtual inspections require a contact mobile number for the person at the site.

Availability depends on the permit and inspection type.

Always check the current inspection information for your permit before assuming a virtual inspection is available.

Yes.

Miami-Dade provides these inspection tools directly to the public.

For one permit and one inspection, checking the route yourself may be simple.

The process can become harder when a project has:

• several permits • several trades • multiple inspections • failed inspections • reinspections • corrections • inspection holds • missing final inspections • old or expired permits • several people who need status updates

That is where inspection coordination can save time.

Clear Property Records provides commercial permit management and inspection coordination across South Florida.

We can help project teams organize and track:

• inspection requests • inspection status • inspection history • failed inspections • reinspections • final inspections • permit status • permit corrections • outstanding requirements • department follow-up • Permit Closure

This can be useful for contractors, architects, developers, restaurants, retailers, franchise operators, property managers, and commercial property teams managing several permit steps at the same time.

Clear Property Records does not control inspector assignments, inspection times, inspection results, or municipal approvals.

We help keep the process organized so the project team can see what happened, what is still open, and what needs attention next.
