Miami Gardens code enforcement complaints

City desk. Not Miami-Dade County.

Inside city limits, Miami Gardens code complaints go to the City’s Code Enforcement & Business Licensing Department.

SNITCH is a private filing service, not the City. We file as complainant of record. Your name stays off the complaint.

Compliant with Florida SB 60.
Filed with Miami Gardens Code Enforcement & Business Licensing under our name.

Fear of Retaliation

Miami Gardens puts it this way: “Based on changes in state statute, anonymous complaints are no longer allowed.” File it yourself and that record is public under Chapter 119.

Who Handles It

Inside Miami Gardens: Miami Gardens Code Enforcement & Business Licensing. Unincorporated Miami-Dade: Miami-Dade County Neighborhood Regulations Division. Other cities run their own desks.

Agent Filing Rules

We file under our name with the desk that owns the address. If that shop bounces a third-party complainant, that filing does not sit there.

How It Works

Address first. Miami Gardens or Miami-Dade County second. Then we file.
How This Works

"SNITCH cuts through red tape—handling your code complaints professionally, safely, and always in compliance with Florida law.
- Chaz Stevens, Chief Snitch

We file the real ones.
We reject the rest.

Report Abuse

City code. Not a grudge.

Every submission is checked against the Miami Gardens code, including Chapter 8, Code Enforcement. Hearsay, neighbor wars, and junk filings do not go out. A false complaint is on the client.

Issues Miami Gardens highlights: annual landlord permit for residential rentals, short-term rental registration, re-occupancy certificates, and Local Business Tax Receipt and Certificate of Use.


FL SB 60

Why It Matters

SB 60 DID NOT END MIAMI GARDENS COMPLAINTS

Florida law requires a name and address before most code investigations start. File direct with Miami Gardens Code Enforcement & Business Licensing and that name is public. SNITCH files as complainant of record.

Compliant filing. Our name on the paper.

See something. File it without becoming the file.

Miami Gardens handles addresses inside its city limits. Unincorporated Miami-Dade goes to Miami-Dade County Neighborhood Regulations Division at (786) 315-2552. A Miami Gardens mailing address is not always inside the city.

Can I report a code violation in Miami Gardens anonymously?

Not to the city. Miami Gardens says: “Based on changes in state statute, anonymous complaints are no longer allowed.” SNITCH is not anonymous either: we file under our own name as complainant of record, so yours stays off the complaint.

What happens if a violation is not fixed?

Unresolved Miami Gardens code cases go before a Special Magistrate.

Is my name on the complaint? What if a desk will not take an agent filing? Our FAQs answer both.
