Vacant Property Registration

In an effort to prevent abandoned and neglected properties, the City of Sunny Isles Beach requires the owners of a vacant lot/building or vacant foreclosure unit to apply for registration and pay a one-time registration fee of $100.00.

The owner of a single-family residential lot or unit is required to pay an annual vacant lot/building or vacant foreclosure fee of $500.00 until the lot/building or unit is rehabilitated for active use and is not in foreclosure. The owner of a multifamily/commercial lot is required to pay an annual vacant lot or building fee of $5,000.00 until the lot is rehabilitated for active use. Once the property is registered, the owner/agent is responsible for updating the registration annually. 

Failure to register or providing false information to the enforcement officer will result in fines.

To obtain the required registration, please fill out the application below and turn it in to the Code Division at the address provided, along with any related or required documents.
