Contact the Records Management Section if you want to request public records at the main office.

In order to locate a record, you will need to provide one or more of the following: Facility or location name, street address, folio number, Miami-Dade County or Florida Department of Environmental Protection permit number, file number, or facility ID number.

Paper copies of records can be provided at 15 cents per single-sided page and 20 cents per double-sided page. Copies of electronic records can be provided on compact disc at a minimal cost. Documents found in the online records search can be printed for free. Additional costs may apply to extensive requests.

If you wish to review a record at the main office, then scheduling an appointment is suggested, but not required.

If you wish to review a record without an appointment, there may be a wait depending on the availability of the record and the number of customers requesting documents at the time.

Scheduling an appointment will allow staff adequate time to research and retrieve the records for your request and have them available for you at your scheduled time.
