Services in the City of Miami depend on your address: garbage days, Commissioner district, zoning and City limits can change from one block to the next. Start with the property lookup, then report issues through 311 or go directly to the department that owns the work.
Use the City’s lookup before reporting waste, checking zoning or finding elected representation. It only covers addresses inside the City of Miami limits.
The City lookup can show your Commissioner and district, garbage pickup days, folio, zoning, and other property details. Confirm the address is within City of Miami boundaries; similarly named neighborhoods outside city limits use other providers.
Open address & service lookup ↗Use 311 for City service requests such as missed trash, abandoned vehicles, damaged infrastructure, code issues and neighborhood concerns. Call 311 within Miami-Dade or 305-468-5900, or use the City’s Lauderserv-style Miami service request tools and track the request.
311 and emergency contacts ↗City residential garbage is collected twice weekly. Residential bulky trash is collected once a week, with address-based schedules and set-out guidance. Look up your own pickup calendar, put bins out 12–24 hours before the morning pickup, and keep bulky items separate from household carts.
View garbage, recycling & bulk schedule ↗iBuild supports City of Miami permit applications, contractor management, plan changes, fee payments and inspection scheduling. Some projects also need County approvals, zoning review, or right-of-way permits. Confirm jurisdiction first; City of Miami permits are separate from Miami-Dade County permitting.
