About each permit
Annual Fire Safety Permit
City fire, not county — the City of Miami runs its own fire department, so Miami-Dade Fire Rescue's operating permit does not apply inside city limits. Priced by what the building is: a place of assembly, which includes restaurants, bars and stores, runs $95 for an occupant load of 50 to 99 and climbs through $125, $158 and $315 to $442 above 10,000. Retail sales is a flat $150 whatever the floor area. An office is $53 up to 3,000 square feet, rising to $341. A private school, day care or nursery is $68 plus $1.30 per student to a $698 ceiling. Arenas, bowling lanes and banquet facilities are $210, and anything not listed is $250. You apply for this at the same time as the certificate of use, and it renews on the same invoice. The permit does not transfer, so any change of use or occupancy needs a new one. A reinspection after continuing violations past the second inspection is $53.
