Coral Gables permit specialists.
Coral Gables is the most architecturally regulated municipality in Miami-Dade. The Board of Architects, the Historic Preservation Board, the Mediterranean overlay, the strict color and material palette — none of it is optional. We resolve permit violations, after-the-fact permits, open permits, and stalled projects in The Gables in a way that respects how the city actually works.

Why permits work differently here.
The City of Coral Gables Development Services Department reviews permits at 405 Biltmore Way. What separates Coral Gables from neighboring Miami-Dade is layered review: the Building Division checks code, the Board of Architects checks aesthetic conformance, the Historic Preservation Board checks designated properties, and Zoning enforces the City Code. A permit that breezes through unincorporated Miami-Dade can stall in Coral Gables for weeks because three or four parallel reviews each have to clear.
That layered review is why an experienced specialist matters. We know which review board cares about which detail, which color palette will pre-clear at the BoA versus get bounced, and which historic-district scopes need a full HPB submittal versus an administrative Certificate of Appropriateness. Most homeowners learn this the hard way — through a denied first submittal. You don't have to.
