In the Town of Surfside, applications requiring structural review will be forwarded to a Professional Engineer/MiamiDade Structural Plans Examiner. The engineer fee is $100 per hour and the fee will be due and payable at the time of permit issuance. This is applicable to the structural portion of the review only. If the work exceeds $2500 (or heating/air conditioning repair/replacement of $7500 or more) a certified copy of the recorded Notice of Commencement must be filed with the Building Department. Receipt of the notice will not affect the issuance of the permit but inspections may not be performed until and unless a certified copy of the recorded notice has been provided.
When submitting a permit application, a cash or surety bond shall be deposited by the applicant for a permit with the town clerk as a guarantee that all town property damaged by the applicant or any contractor, materials suppliers or subcontractors under his supervision will be repaired to its original condition, and that the premises will be properly cleaned up and left in a sightly condition after the work has been completed.
