Certificate of Use Inspections.

Certificate of Use requirement for the sale of Foreclosed Properties.

Buyers of Foreclosed Properties in unincorporated Miami-Dade County have some protection against unexpected repairs or other deficiencies of the property under an Ordinance adopted by the Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners (BCC) on December 2, 2008.

Ordinance No. 08-133 applies to all residential properties in unincorporated Miami-Dade County which are acquired through a Certificate of Title (Foreclosures and Judgments), in accordance with Chapter 45, Florida Statutes. Residential properties affected include single-family homes, condominiums, townhouses and duplexes.

The adopted Ordinance requires that title holders of Foreclosed Properties obtain a Certificate of Use (CU) prior to offering the property for sale, transfer or alienation.

The BCC adopted the implementing orders addressing this new requirement. These implementing orders contain changes to the CU process administered by the Department of Planning and Zoning (DP&Z) in order to provide for the new CU requirement and for the $309 (plus 8% surcharge) per-property filing and processing fee.

The new Certificate of Use (CU) includes the preparation of a Disclosure of Findings Reportwhich identifies Building or Zoning Code Violations for such properties and contains a good faith estimate of the cost to remedy any deficiencies. This report must be completed by an architect or Professional Engineer licensed and registered in the State of Florida.
