Understanding 40 Year Recertification

The 40 Year Recertification Ordinance was first adopted by the Miami-Dade County Commission in 1975.  In 2001 the current law was installed by the Florida Building Code and continues the requirement that buildings in Miami-Dade County after 40 years (and every 10 years thereafter) must be recertified by a registered Florida Engineer or Architect for structural and electrical safety.  This Ordinance applies to all of unincorporated Miami-Dade County and the incorporated cities within the county and applies to all commercial properties and triplexes.
