VARIANCES FROM CODE TO INSTALL OR MODERNIZE EQUIPMENT and
PLAN OF CORRECTIVE ACTION VARIANCES
Variance fee revision effective March 1, 2009
Recognizing that from time to time, situations may warrant the consideration of a variance from code
requirements, the State of Florida has authorized a process for issuing variances from code. Since much of
the process for the consideration of a variance from code requires a certain amount of research, the County
must be compensated for such activity. The fees established have been re-evaluated, and the modified
schedule is established below, effective March 1, 2009. Fees must be paid in advance at the time of
variance application. Fees which are collected are not refundable, whether the variance is approved or not.
Variance fees:
Base application and research -
Wheelchair lift -
$150.00 per unit
$200.00 per unit
LULA - $200.00 per each requirement of code requiring a variance, per
unit, up to a maximum of $4500.00 per project
Existing equipment (modernization) - $200.00 per each requirement of code requiring a variance, per
unit, up to a maximum of $4500.00 per project
Temporary Variance (existing equipment) - $200.00 per each requirement of code requiring a variance,
per unit, up to a maximum of $4500.00 per project . This is designed for projects that have been ordered to
comply with A17.3, but due to special circumstances the owner may be unable to immediately comply.
New equipment - $200.00 per each requirement of code requiring a variance, per
unit, up to a maximum of $4500.00 per project
Special Variances - The Variance committee is comprised of four professional
staff members, at a committee hourly rate of $600 per hour.

TO OBTAIN A PERMIT FOR REPAIR OR ALTERATION (Required for all equipment,
private and public owned)
Submit application for each unit on County form OES — 7024. Include all requested information, folio

complete description of work.

scope of alteration/modernization work; and (3) all access routes to elevator machine room (as applicable).

For alteration/modernization submit elevator layout in duplicate, for each unit, or groups of units, with

TO OBTAIN A TEMPORARY CERTIFICATE of OPERATION* (Required for all
equipment, private and public owned) For Construction Use Only
An elevator contractor who holds a valid permit to install or relocate an elevator, or a valid permit for
repair, alteration or modernization of an elevator, may apply for a permit for the temporary operation of
equipment, called a Temporary Certificate of Operation*, should the use of an elevator be required during
the progress of construction (or work) for the movement of construction personnel and materials. This is
available for construction use only. In accordance with fees and requirements established by Florida
Administrative code 61C-5, an application shall be made to the County Office of Elevator Safety, and a fee
paid, for each certificate. The certificate is valid for 30 days, after which it must be renewed. The renewal
fee is the same amount as the original fee. The equipment must meet all applicable requirements and, in
accordance with State law, must be inspected by a Florida Certified Elevator Inspector prior to placement
into service, and every 30 days, prior to each renewal of the certificate.
The Temporary Certificate of Operation* will only be issued to the licensed elevator contractor who is the
permit holder, or their authorized designee. The owner or the developer or the general contractor may make
the application if authorized by the permit holder.

FEE SCHEDULE
Applicable to Private Owners Only
INSPECTION SERVICES (Applicable for private sector inspections)
Miami -Dade County now does perform inspection services for privately -owned new construction or
alteration/modernization permits, as selected by the County. The County selected inspections are chosen at
random and will be so noted on the permit at the time of issuance. Those units which are not selected by the
County should be inspected by a duly licensed firm providing those services, and conducted by duly
licensed Certified. Elevator Inspectors.
Repairs which require the issuance of a permit will be inspected in the same manner as above.
The primary exception to this practice is an emergency repair permit, for which the County reserves the
right to always require that the unit be inspected by Miami -Dade County Office of Elevator Safety
inspectors, at the rate of $125.00 per hour during regular working hours. Overtime inspections will be at the
rate of $175.00 per hour. Contractors will be notified of the County's preference at the time of permit
issuance.
As stated above, the Office of Elevator Safety does not typically provide inspection services to private
buildings, and encourages use of private licensed inspection firms. Under certain circumstances, however,
it may be required that inspections of existing equipment be performed by Miami -Dade County inspectors,
as when an owner refuses to have a legally required inspection performed, or when specially requested by
the owner (and agreed to by OES), a complaint by the public has been filed and the equipment is not
compliant with code, or other special circumstances as specified by Florida Statute or Florida
Administrative Code. Under these circumstances,. the rates will be determined by the following schedule.
* Inspection fees for private projects are now based upon hourly rates of $125.00 per hour for inspections
performed during regular working hours and $175.00 per hour for after normal hours and weekends.
Holiday fees are $225.00 per hour. Payment must be made in advance, 4 hour minimum.
* * Construction and alteration inspections will no longer be based upon flat rates.
