Most septic permit delays in Miami-Dade come down to one thing: incomplete submittals. Here is the exact information we ask every client for before we start a design — gather it early and your project moves faster.
New Construction or Commercial Development
For commercial construction, especially new developments, permits are essential from day one. Site selection matters: the right location and design produce a more efficient, longer-lasting system. Bring your architectural site plan and floor plan to the first conversation.
Replacing or Modifying an Existing System
For a property evaluation we need:
- An inspection of the existing system
- A survey with elevation information
- Five months of water bill records — real usage data drives correct sizing
New System Design
- Architectural floor plan
- Architectural site plan
- Survey elevation details
- Plumbing plan
The Forms
Florida’s DH4015 application package (all four pages plus instructions) is available for download on our Resources page, along with Miami-Dade DERM site plan documents. Not sure which apply to you? That’s part of our service — we prepare and submit the package.
This article is general information, not engineering or legal advice for a specific property. Requirements change — always confirm current rules with Miami-Dade RER/DERM or consult a licensed Professional Engineer about your project.
