Bathroom Remodel Miami: $6,651 to $17,659 + Fixture Rebates

We found no Miami-specific remodel price, so the cost rows are national figures. Rebate rows are Miami-Dade Water and Sewer rules.

Miami-Dade rebates on toilets, showerheads and faucets

Miami-Dade Water and Sewer pays up to $50 per WaterSense toilet, $25 per showerhead and $25 per faucet, two of each per property, for single-family homes built before 1996. Seniors with a senior tax exemption can get up to $200 for one toilet or $300 for two when a Florida-licensed contractor installs them, and WASD will exchange up to two old showerheads for high-efficiency ones at no charge. If you are remodeling anyway, pick WaterSense fixtures and keep the receipts and the installer's license number for the application.

Miami's housing is older than Tampa's or Orlando's: the Census Bureau puts the City of Miami's median year built at 1979, so many bathrooms qualify for the pre-1996 rebate. Homes built before 1978 also fall under the EPA's lead-safe renovation rule for painted surfaces.

Do you need a permit to remodel a bathroom in Miami?

You need a City of Miami permit for most remodel plumbing, but small repairs are exempt. The city's no-permit list includes toilet or faucet repairs that do not reroute pipes and licensed plumbing repairs under $2,500, and it says exempt work must still meet building, zoning and flood rules. Fixture setting and re-piping or repairs can go through the city's Easy Permit process, which has no plan review and is issued by email once paid; the applicant must be a qualified contractor in good standing. Questions go to the Building Department at (305) 416-1100.

Checking a contractor's license in Miami

Miami-Dade County licenses contractors who work in the county, separate from the state. Its Contractor Licensing office (786-315-2880) runs an online Contractor Search, and it warns that a journeyman certificate does not entitle someone to work as a contractor. State-certified contractors show up in the Florida DBPR license search. Check both, ask for proof of insurance, and report problems to Miami-Dade Consumer Protection at 305-375-2877.
