Flood Zone Data
FEMA Flood Risk in Miami
Miami faces extreme and growing flood risk from Biscayne Bay, the Atlantic Ocean, and sea-level rise that is already causing regular sunny-day flooding in low-lying neighborhoods like Coconut Grove and Brickell. Approximately 40% of properties are in FEMA's SFHA, but the effective flood risk is far broader due to the city's low average elevation and rising seas.

Miami FAQ
Common questions about permits, flood compliance, and construction in Miami.
What makes Miami's flood risk so significant?
Miami is built on porous limestone just inches above sea level. Approximately 40% of the city is in FEMA's SFHA, but sea-level rise is already causing king tide flooding in areas not yet in the formal SFHA. Biscayne Bay, the Intracoastal, and Atlantic exposure create multi-directional storm surge risk. Miami's flood challenge is growing rapidly.
Does MKC handle permits with the City of Miami?
Yes. MKC manages permits through the City of Miami's Building Department and floodplain administrator. Miami-Dade County's permitting system is one of Florida's most complex — MKC is experienced navigating it for residential and commercial projects.
What after-the-fact permits does MKC handle in Miami?
MKC handles ATF permits throughout Miami and Miami-Dade County for unpermitted additions, structural changes, electrical upgrades, and accessory structures. Miami has aggressive code enforcement, making prompt resolution critical.
What commercial construction does MKC do in Miami?
