The Board of Architects consists of at least seven local architects appointed by the City Manager and approved by the City Commission. The purpose of the Board is “to ensure that the City’s architecture is consistent with the City’s regulations and to preserve the traditional aesthetic character of the community.” The Board meets every Thursday morning to consider a wide variety of building and development applications such as new residences, new commercial structures, pools, pavement, signs, roof tiles, all building expansions, etc. For a typical building permit, the Board’s review would involve a preliminary and final Board approval prior to permit issuance. The Board also makes recommendations on conditional use and hears appealed from the City Architect’s decision. An appeal of the Board’s decision is appeal to the City Commission. (Sec. 2-301 Zoning Code)

To better serve Coral Gables we are implementing a new and improved permitting software that will help facilitate permit submittals and reviews. While we work to train our team, you may experience increased wait times and delays in the permitting process. We thank you for your patience and understanding. We look forward to providing a more streamlined approach and improved experience. The new system will be up and running in August.
