Re-Occupancy Certificates in Miami-Dade
Some municipalities require a re-occupancy process when residential property changes hands. WorkTC helps agents identify the city, locate the application, track the request, and alert the closing team to outstanding steps.
A re-occupancy review is not a substitute for a buyer's home inspection. Requirements depend on the city and property. Confirm the current rules with the municipality and your title or legal professional.

Open official resourceA practical contract-to-close checklist
- Confirm the property's municipality and ask whether a certificate applies to this transfer.
- Get the current city application and identify who must sign it and how it is submitted.
- Record the request date, inspection status, and the city's response in the transaction timeline.
- Tell the agent and title company about unresolved items before the scheduled closing date.
- Check whether a buyer change, denied inspection, or other change requires a new request.
