Heating and cooling in Kendall
Unincorporated Kendall, a Census-designated place, has Miami-Dade County's Regulatory and Economic Resources department as its permit office. Miami-Dade's Mechanical Fee Sheet (form 123_01-69, revision mark 10/26, the only date printed) sets a minimum fee of $233.82 for mechanical permits. Work done without a permit pays double. The sheet lists an air conditioner and exact change out at $24.80 per ton and furnaces and heating equipment at $4.97 per KW. Exhaust fans and dryers are $48.31.
Refrigeration is also $24.80 per ton. A/C duct work is $0.11 per sq ft up to 3000 sq ft. For a homesteaded residential hardening permit it lists an exact change out of air conditioner and heating at $133.38 per system. The Permitting Section is at 11805 SW 26 Street, Miami, phone 786-315-2000, with general inquiries at bldgdept@miamidade.gov. The sheets say applications must be completed and submitted online or in person at that office, and they don't print hours.
Nor do they cite a code edition. Owner-builders get a sub-permit option with a 20 business day review period. For Kendall, ACS gives a 1978 median year built. Owners hold 62.2% of occupied homes (ACS 2020 to 2024). Homesteaded hardening permits use the $133.38 per-system line. Other change outs go by the ton.

Permits for heating and cooling work in Kendall
Florida cities and counties issue the permit for replacing an air conditioner, heat pump or furnace, and each sets its own fee; the state's $7,500 small-job permit exemption leaves out mechanical work. DBPR certifies or registers the air-conditioning contractor, so ask for that license number as well as what your permit office needs.
