Recertification Deadlines Are Strict, and Getting Stricter

Under updated Miami-Dade and Broward rules, buildings now enter the recertification cycle at 30 years (previously 40), and must recertify every 10 years after. Once the county issues a notice, owners typically have 90 days to submit signed engineering reports.

Missing the deadline can mean code enforcement fines, unsafe-structure proceedings, and problems with insurance and financing. Starting early costs nothing. Waiting does.

30 yrs

First recertification due. The county mails a Notice of Required Inspection to the owner on record.

90 days

Typical window to have both structural and electrical reports inspected, sealed, and submitted.

+10 yrs

Every 10 years after the first: 40, 50, 60. Each cycle requires new signed reports.

Common questions

40 & 50 Year Recertification FAQ

How much does a 40-year recertification inspection cost?

Pricing depends on building size, age, and systems. You get a clear, flat quote within 24 hours of your request, covering both the structural and electrical reports, with no surprise add-ons.

I received a letter from the county. What do I do now?

Don’t wait. The clock is already running. Send us the notice (or just call), and we’ll confirm your exact deadline, quote the work, and schedule the inspection so your reports are filed on time.

What does the recertification inspection include?

Two evaluations by licensed engineers: a structural inspection (foundation, walls, beams, columns, roof) and an electrical inspection (service equipment, panels, wiring, grounding). Both reports are signed, sealed, and submitted to your county.

What happens if my building doesn't pass?

You don’t fail. You get a repair list. We document what needs correction, give you clear recommendations, and re-inspect once repairs are complete so your recertification is approved.

How fast can you inspect my building?

Most inspections are scheduled within days of your request. The on-site visit typically takes 2 to 4 hours depending on building size, and reports follow quickly so you never crowd your deadline.
