Roofing in Kendall, FL
Kendall is not a city. The Census Bureau treats it as a census-designated place, an unincorporated community with no municipal government, so most Kendall homes are permitted and inspected by Miami-Dade County's building department.
That changes who you deal with for a roofing permit, and it is not true of every address people call Kendall.

Miami-Dade County is the building department
For unincorporated addresses, roofing permits come from Miami-Dade County's Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources. There is no Kendall city hall to call; questions about a permit or an inspection go to the county.
Some "Kendall" addresses are in Pinecrest
ZIP code 33156 is shared by the Kendall area and the Village of Pinecrest, an incorporated municipality with its own Building and Planning Department. If your home is inside Pinecrest, the village, not the county, handles the roofing permit.
Contractors can file county roofing permits online
Miami-Dade County runs a roofing e-permitting system that lets qualified contractors apply, pay fees and print permit cards for addresses in unincorporated areas. Ask whether your contractor uses it, and request a copy of the permit once it is issued.
Kendall roofing questions
Is Kendall a city with its own building department?
No. Kendall is an unincorporated census-designated place, so roofing permits for most Kendall homes come from Miami-Dade County. Addresses inside an incorporated municipality, such as Pinecrest, are permitted by that municipality.
My address says Miami, not Kendall. Does this page still apply?
Yes, if your home is in the Kendall area. For permitting, what matters is whether the property is unincorporated or inside a municipality, not the city printed on your mail.
Is a participating contractor available in my Kendall ZIP code?
Enter your ZIP code in the request form. Before you submit, the form shows which participating contractors, if any, currently cover that ZIP code.
