Review Documentation with Hearing Boards
- Hearing Boards staff will review your paperwork for completeness. It is your responsibility that information and documentation provided to the City of Miami is accurate.
- If, at the scheduled appointment with Hearing Boards staff, your documents are complete, you will be provided with your hearing date, time, and location (assuming documents are correct).
- If corrections need to be made, you will be able to do so in ProjectDox, and re-schedule a new appointment to re-present your revised documents.
TIP: Revise your ancillary documents quickly and leave enough time for this appointment (before any deadlines), as Hearing Boards' schedule may be full for the immediate future.
Lastly, an authorized representative or the applicant themselves must attend the hearing. The published agenda will show all of your documentation.
Hearings typically take place the first Tuesday of every month at 3 pm at Miami City Hall.
At the hearing, you will be given a decision by the board.
Additional Information to Know Before Your Hearing
