Miami-Dade Code Chapter 8B addresses property maintenance and nuisances, including rodent harborage. Owners must keep premises free of conditions attracting rats. Mosquito Control District also handles vector inspections. Violations are enforced by Code Compliance with civil fines under Chapter 8CC.
Property owners in unincorporated Miami-Dade must eliminate rodent harborage such as overgrown vegetation, accumulated trash, uncovered garbage cans, and structural openings. Code Compliance officers respond to complaints filed via 311 and can post Notices of Violation requiring abatement within set deadlines. Persistent infestations may require licensed pest-control treatment and proof of service. Miami-Dade Mosquito Control Division separately inspects properties for standing water that breeds Aedes aegypti, the vector for dengue and Zika periodically reported in South Florida. Unincorporated rules govern; incorporated cities like Miami or Hialeah have parallel codes.
Civil penalties under Chapter 8CC commonly start near $100 per day and escalate for repeat offenses, with liens possible against the property if unpaid.
