The Code Enforcement Board is made up of seven (7) regular members and two (2) alternate members appointed by the City Commission, who volunteer their time and services. The Board is authorized by Florida law to hear and decide cases brought against those persons who have been cited for violations of various city ordinances but who have not corrected the alleged violations. Each case will be called based upon when the property owner or representative has checked-in and type of matter to be heard unless there are extenuating circumstances. The respondent, whose property and/or business is the alleged violator, will be asked to plead guilty or not guilty. If the respondent pleads guilty, the Board will give the respondent a date certain by which to correct the violation. If the violation is not corrected by that date, the Board may impose a fine against the respondent or respondent’s property of up to $250.00 per diem for a residential property and up to $1,000.00 per diem for a non-residential property for a first-time offender and up to $500.00 per diem for a residential property and up to $5,000.00 per diem for a non-residential / commercial property for a repeat offender. If the respondent pleads not guilty, the City of Miami, through the Assistant City Attorney, will present its case. After the City presents its case, the respondent will be permitted to present its defense. Both the City and the respondent will have an opportunity to present evidence and to examine and cross examine witnesses. If the City of Miami Page 2 Printed on 3/3/2026 respondent is not present and the respondent’s representative wishes to present the respondent’s defense to the Board, a signed and notarized Power of Attorney is required before the case will be heard. If there are any representatives present without a Power of Attorney, please immediately obtain one or contact the respondent so they present their defense to the Board. If you fail to do any of the above, the Board will proceed to hear the case in absentia. This hearing is conducted in an informal manner. There are no formal rules of evidence; however, all discussion, presentations and questions are limited to matters relating directly to the violation cited. After all the evidence is presented, the Board will determine by majority vote whether the respondent is guilty or not guilty. If the Board finds the respondent guilty, the Board will order the respondent to correct the violation by a certain date. If the violation is not corrected by that date, the Board may impose a fine against the violator or owner of the property of up to $250.00 per diem for a residential property and up to $1,000.00 per diem for a non-residential property for a first-time offender and up to $500.00 per diem for a residential property and up to $5,000.00 per diem for a non- residential / commercial property for a repeat offender. The respondent may also be charged the costs of prosecution and up to $5,000.00 or $15,000.00, for specified code violations, as a one-time fine for violations that are considered irreparable or irreversible in nature. It is the violator’s responsibility to notify the City’s Code Compliance Department when the violation has been corrected. If the violation is not corrected by the required date, a lien shall be imposed without further hearing. The lien imposed will be a lien against the cited property and against other real or personal property owned by the violator.
