Elevation Certificates: Since 1995, Miami-Dade County has been collecting Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Elevation Certificates from home builders and developers, as a requirement of their building permit. Elevation certificates are also required for substantially damaged structures and electrical/mechanical equipment such as generators. For more information, call the Flood Zone hotline at 305-372-6466, during office hours (Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.). If your property was built prior to 1995 and you have never substantially improved or experienced substantial damage to the structure, you may have to hire a professional land surveyor if you need an Elevation Certificate. For a list of licensed surveyors in Miami-Dade County visit the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) website or call the Flood Zone hotline at 305-372-6466, if you encounter difficulties navigating this website.
