Miami-Dade landlords and homeowners must keep buildings free of termites, rodents, and roaches under Chapter 8A property-maintenance rules, and the Florida Department of Health Miami-Dade office investigates serious pest-related health hazards.
Miami-Dade’s tropical climate makes termites, drywood beetles, rodents, and German roaches a constant concern. Chapter 8A property-maintenance rules require owners to maintain weather-tight construction, screen openings, and address infestations promptly. The Florida Building Code mandates termite protection in new construction, including soil treatment or borate-treated lumber. Pest-control operators must be licensed by the Florida Department of Agriculture under FS Chapter 482. Tenants experiencing severe infestations can request inspections from county code compliance, and the Florida Department of Health Miami-Dade office acts when pests pose a public-health risk.
Owners who ignore infestations face Chapter 8CC civil penalties, daily accruing fines, repair orders from code compliance, and potential rental-license suspension for repeat offenses.
