The Problem: Not every one understands how to go about the Cerificate of Use for freclosed properties.	Our Solution:
Q. What is the process for the new Certificate of Use (CU) for the sale of foreclosed properties? A.

Staff reviews report and determines acceptance or denial of report. In addition, staff also identifies potential violations and refers violations to the appropriate agencies. (Acceptance or denial of the report is independent of the resolutions of any violations). Upon acceptance of report, applicant records the report with the Clerk of the Court (which has four recording locations, including the West Dade Satellite Recording Office conveniently located at the Miami-Dade Permitting and Inspection Center) and submits report to the county along with the remaining filing amount of $50.00 plus 8% surcharge DP&Z staff issues the Certificate of Use for the sale of foreclosed properties and deems the certificate of title holder to be in compliance.

Basically "all" but the apartment complex units require a survey. Even cluster homes which usually are described in the address with a unit number comparable to a condo unit!. The county wants to make sure that zoning compliance is met, especifically regarding setbacks. Apartments (condos) can not make any additions, since those would have to be in the air, so the county will not require surveys for this properties. They will only require an on site floor plan and elevation stating the condition of the balcony (if it has been enclosed or not).
