Recertification in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties
If your property is over 40 years old, and then every 10 years, you are required to perform a 40 year recertification. This recertification helps to ensure that the general construction and electrical condition are still satisfactory.
40 Year Building Recertification reports will specify if the building in question is safe for use as zoned and specified. It will also determine if the building may remain occupied.
