Permitting & Compliance in Fisher Island
An island the county still permits.
Fisher Island is 216 acres of condominium residences, villas and townhomes, and almost none of it is still original. The late-1980s and early-1990s buildings, Bayside Village, Seaside Village and Oceanside among them, have had kitchens gutted, walls moved, air handlers swapped and glazing replaced, sometimes twice. Palazzo Del Sol and Palazzo Della Luna were customized almost as soon as they were handed over. In Miami-Dade all of that is permit work: electrical, plumbing, mechanical, windows, doors, anything structural. Each round should have left a permit opened, inspected and closed. Plenty left one that was only opened.
Fisher Island is unincorporated Miami-Dade County: no village hall, no city architectural board. Permits are filed with the county's Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources. What replaces municipal design review here is private — contractor registration with the Fisher Island Community Association, your building's approval of the alteration, insurance certificates, and scheduled contractor access rather than the resident ferry. This is High-Velocity Hurricane Zone territory, so windows, doors and roofing need a valid Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance on file. The island's older buildings now sit inside the county recertification cycle everyone still calls the forty-year, alongside Florida's milestone inspections for condominium buildings three habitable stories and taller.
PGX Builders Group has been building in South Florida for more than twenty years, with 150+ remodels and additions delivered and every one of them permitted and inspected. On a Fisher Island compliance job that means pulling the county record before we promise anything, coordinating the engineer or architect the file needs, answering plan review comments ourselves, and calling each inspection only when the work is genuinely ready. A second trip for an inspector here is a boat crossing, not a drive. Lic. CGC1539072 owns the file from first application to final sign-off. We cannot make a requirement disappear. We can make sure it never surprises you.

What's included
What we handle, filing to sign-off.
Some owners call before the drawings exist. Others call because a title company found something two weeks before closing. Both are normal here, and both are fixable.
Open permits, traced and closed
Old and expired permits pulled from county records, taken over under our license, corrected where the work fails, re-inspected and signed off before your closing date.
County filings and plan review
Drawings, product data and applications assembled and submitted to Miami-Dade, with review comments answered by us rather than forwarded to you as a PDF.
Product approvals, unit by unit
Windows, doors and roofing specified with a current Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, then installed to the detail that approval actually covers, not an approximation of it.
Inspections, called once
Each phase scheduled when it is genuinely ready, so an inspector's first crossing to the island is also the only one your calendar has to absorb.
Milestone repairs on the island
Structural, concrete, balcony and electrical work your engineer's recertification or milestone report calls for, built under permit and documented for the association's record.
How we work
A remodel is a promise. We keep it in writing.
AFixed scope, honest pricing
A detailed written scope before we start — so the number you sign is the number you pay, and changes are decisions, not surprises.
