Problems We Solve

What Is Legalization?
When construction is done without a permit - or a permit is never closed - the property carries a legal problem that doesn't go away on its own. Legalization (also called an after-the-fact permit) is the official process of bringing that work up to code and getting it approved by the city or county.
Open permits and unpermitted work appear in title and lien searches, and can delay or kill a closing.
Code violations in Miami-Dade can accrue daily fines and become liens against your property.
With plans, inspections and the right process, most unpermitted work can be legalized - we manage it end to end.
From Violation to Closed Permit
A clear, organized path that resolves the problem and documents everything with the city or county.
PROPERTY REVIEW
We research municipal records for open permits, expired permits and violations, and inspect the unpermitted work.
LEGALIZATION PLAN
We define what's needed: as-built plans, engineering letters, corrections or after-the-fact permit applications.
SUBMIT & COORDINATE
We prepare and submit the documents, respond to city comments and schedule the required inspections.
CLOSE & CERTIFY
We follow up until every permit is closed and the violation is resolved - with the paperwork to prove it.
