Miami Beach code enforcement complaints
City desk. Not Miami-Dade County.
Inside city limits, Miami Beach code complaints go to the City’s Code Compliance 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 Beach Code Compliance under our name.
Fear of Retaliation
Miami Beach puts it this way: “For all Code Compliance issues, a name and address of the person who reports potential violations of codes and ordinances is required per State Bill 60.” File it yourself and that record is public under Chapter 119.
Who Handles It
Inside Miami Beach: Miami Beach Code Compliance. 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
"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.
City code. Not a grudge.
Every submission is checked against the Miami Beach code, including Chapter 30, Code Enforcement. Hearsay, neighbor wars, and junk filings do not go out. A false complaint is on the client.
Issues Miami Beach highlights: short-term rentals in residential areas, noise, marine code (vessels, docks, derelict boats), and rent increase notice ordinance.
FL SB 60
Why It Matters
SB 60 DID NOT END MIAMI BEACH COMPLAINTS
Florida law requires a name and address before most code investigations start. File direct with Miami Beach Code Compliance 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.
