The direct answer: How many Miami-Dade buildings are behind on recertification?
As of the county export received June 10, 2026, Miami-Dade’s recertification record holds 36,915 cases across 17,228 property addresses. 7,523 cases are still in progress, 4,571 are in enforcement, and 4,120 of the open cases carry a recertification year of 2025 or earlier — they are past their cycle year. The 2024 cycle alone has 2,136 cases still open.
What The Case Statuses Mean
These are plain-English readings of the labels the county uses in its export, not the county’s own definitions. Where a single building’s status matters, confirm it with Miami-Dade Regulatory and Economic Resources.
- Issued
- The county has issued the recertification for that cycle.
- In Progress
- The case is open — notice sent, report not yet accepted.
- Exempt
- The county recorded an exemption for that cycle.
- Closed
- Case closed without a recertification issued — for example the building was demolished or reclassified.
- Revoked
- A previously issued recertification was revoked.

The 2024 cycle is the largest single cohort in the record and the one with the most open cases. Cases dated 2026–2028 are largely buildings the county has already notified ahead of their cycle year.
For a board, an open case is an administrative position, not a verdict on the building. It closes when a signed and sealed recertification report is filed and accepted — and in Miami-Dade that same report is how the state milestone inspection requirement under is satisfied, so one engagement answers both. Knowing the cycle year fixes the schedule.
How To Read This Record
The figures come from the Miami-Dade County Building Recertification case export (Report 6), received June 10, 2026 and compiled September 4, 2026. Counts are cases, not buildings: a property can carry more than one case across cycles, and a single case’s building number can cover a range. The statuses are the county’s own labels, reproduced as exported.
This is a snapshot, not a live feed. Fortis will refresh the page when a new export is obtained, and the date above states which export the numbers belong to. Free to reuse with attribution to Fortis BuildSafe Solutions and a link to this page.

Common Questions
Does an open recertification case mean the building is unsafe?
No. An open case means the county has not yet accepted a recertification report for that cycle. Many open cases are buildings that have been notified ahead of their cycle year; others are past due. The report, once filed and accepted, is what closes the case.
Is this the county’s live data?
No. It is a snapshot of a public case export received June 10, 2026, compiled September 4, 2026. Case counts change daily as reports are filed and accepted. Confirm any single building’s status with Miami-Dade RER.
Does a Miami-Dade recertification also satisfy the milestone inspection?
Yes. In Miami-Dade the county recertification program is how the state milestone inspection requirement under §553.899 is administered and satisfied — one process, not two.
