If you’re opening a clinic in Miami-Dade County, local business steps often come before AHCA. Missing one municipal approval can stall your entire healthcare licensing timeline.
Key Miami-Dade requirements
- Certificate of Use — commercial occupancy for medical use
- Sewer Department Approval — wastewater capacity verification
- DER — Department of Environmental Resources
- Local Business Tax (LBT) — county business tax receipt
- Municipal Certificate of Use — city-level zoning/occupancy
Why order matters
AHCA and CMS applications usually expect a valid business address and entity. Completing Miami-Dade permits first (or in parallel with formation) keeps your clinic schedule realistic.
