About Hialeah

Hialeah is one of the largest cities in Miami-Dade and has a long industrial and manufacturing history, along with dense residential neighborhoods. Many family-owned shops and contractors have operated here for decades.

Licensing, permits and the transition

Docks, seawalls, boat lifts, pilings and shoreline work generally require a licensed contractor in the right category plus permits. In-water work typically needs approvals from the local government, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and often the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and in the Keys additional protections for seagrass, coral and other habitat can apply. The license belongs to the qualifier, so plan for who qualifies the company after a sale.

Hialeah requires a city business tax receipt and certificate of use in addition to Miami-Dade County's, and locally licensed trades go through Miami-Dade's Construction Trades Qualifying Board.
