City of Hialeah Community Development Department
City of Hialeah Community Development Department The City of Hialeah has a full time Community Development Department. It has the responsibility to enforce city and county zoning ordinances and building codes. It is staffed with a full complement of clerks, plans examiners, and building inspectors.
Business and home owners desiring to build new structures or modify existing buildings must apply to the Community Development Department for a permit. The first step is submitting an application along with drawings (Plans), for review by the Planning Division. From there, the documents will go to the Building Division for review by the different building disciplines for compliance with the building codes.
Once the permit for construction is issued, a series of in-progress inspections will be performed to ensure that the construction materials and methods comply with the approved drawings and the building codes. Upon completion of any new structure, a Certificate of Occupancy (CO) will be issued, granting the owner of the building permission to occupy and use the building for its intended purposes.
Additionally, the Community Development Department has the responsibility to conduct damage assessment and hazardous structure identification after any disaster occurs. The inspectors and examiners of P & D are trained professionals that have been certified by the State of Florida, and Miami-Dade County.

Classic Hialeah Front Yard
I like that they took and extra step to tile the whole thing. That's not stamped concrete. That's tile my friends. Try running on that to get into the house on a rainy day.

You Better Buy a Shovel in Hialeah
If you got a dead animal on your property and you live in Hialeah (or anywhere in Miami-Dade county) you better get a shovel my freng because Animal Services ain't coming to your casa to pick up anything dead.That's gross! That's so creepy too. Imagine all the dead animals rotting all over backyards with flies and maggots. So much for that summer BBQ you were planning.
Someone better inform Mayor Robaina's office because they didn't have a clue earlier this morning when they referred a Hialeah resident to Animal Services for the removal. While we're alerting the mayor's office to stuff, someone should tell them that the links on the mayor's Facebook page go nowhere. Sux, huh?
Terms of Endearment in Hialeah
Some people write their name in wet cement, some people exclaim their love. In Hialeah, we do things a little differently. (Translation: puta sucia means dirty whore)

City of Hialeah Planning and Zoning Division
The Planning and Zoning Division is located on the second floor of City Hall. It is recommended that before building or opening a business in the city, the Planning and Zoning Division be contacted in order to find out if the proposed use/building meets the requirements of the City of Hialeah. In order to expedite the permitting and licensing process it is recommended that the plans and/or proposals receive a review by this division at the preliminary phase of development.
Planning is in charge of keeping an updated Comprehensive Plan that is the written document setting out policies and recommendations for future growth and development of the city. The Comprehensive Plan includes information on existing conditions and trends in the city, goals and objectives for the future, and recommended ways for achieving these goals. It is an advisory document. State law requires that zoning and development or subdivision regulations be based on the Comprehensive Plan.
Zoning consists of a whole body of regulations that are intended to coordinate land development for current and future needs of the city. The regulations include the zoning map, land use chart, dimensional regulations, definitions, permitted uses and other regulations pertaining to the various zoning districts. Variances, land use plan amendments, rezoning, conditional and special use permits and re-occupancy are also handled by the Planning and Zoning Division.
The existing land use and zoning on a particular property can be found on the city’s website home page by simply clicking on the “property search” link. The city’s code of ordinances can also be accessed on line at www.municode.com.
The Planning and Zoning Division staff will gladly answer your questions and assist you with processing applications for your various needs.

Hialeah Street Named After Veteran Doctor O.D. Anderson
We had to pay homage to Doctor Oliver Anderson here for a minute since we were patients while he still had his practice in the Hialeah Hospital Medical Center. But what the hell? Bro, the guy's 93 and spent over 50 years serving Hialeah residents and their doctor. Why didn't Hialeah name the WHOLE street after him? How cheap. Read the full story at: Hialeah names part of 26th Street after veteran doctor

I Need A Prom Dress And A Saddle Please
Seriously, I couldn't make this stuff up if I wanted to. I told you that Hialeah was looking more and more like Farmville everyday. I told you Hialeah had a horse problem and I even showed you horseback riding in Hialeah. So is seeing people horseback riding down 103rd street (aka, 49th Street) heading toward Zayas really any surprise? Of course it isn't.
I love this town!
