Local services and rules

Moving to Sunny Isles Beach: who to call and what the city asks.

Sunny Isles Beach is in the northeastern corner of Miami-Dade County, on a barrier island. The city sits in the Zone B floodplain, where a hurricane may cause storm surge, high winds, tornadoes, flooding or loss of utility services. Owners of a vacant lot, vacant building or vacant foreclosure unit must apply for registration with the city.

Lane closure and extended-hours applications

Lane closure applications are filed with the Code Compliance Department. There are separate forms for Collins Ave and Sunny Isles Blvd, for interior streets, and for sidewalk closures.

Construction work outside standard hours needs an extended construction hours application. The exterior and interior forms are separate, and both go to the Code Compliance Department.

Resident ID card and parking permits

Residents can apply for and renew a Sunny Isles Beach Resident ID card online or in person at city facilities.

Some street parking areas are for residents only, marked by signs reading "Restricted Residential Parking Area, Residential Permit Only." Parking there requires a digital parking permit purchased through the City. Applying for a residential parking permit requires a valid City-issued Sunny Isles Beach Resident ID card and occupancy of a residential property.

Garbage on Mondays and Thursdays

Miami-Dade County collects garbage for single-family homes twice a week, on Mondays and Thursdays. Carts go curbside no earlier than 5 p.m. the day before collection.

A household moving into an existing home should find a waste cart already there; if not, calling 311 places an order. Calling 311 also confirms the account has been updated to the new resident's name, and proof of ownership such as a warranty deed or closing statement may be required.

Oversized trash such as furniture and household appliances is not placed in the dumpsters or left next to them; it goes to a Neighborhood Trash and Recycling Center.

Recycling for single-family homes takes place once every other week on Mondays. Recycling in apartment buildings and condominiums is mandatory, provided by a permitted hauler, a private recycling hauler or the appropriate governmental agency.

FPL, NMB Water and Miami-Dade sewer

Florida Power and Light (FPL) supplies electricity to residents. NMB Water provides potable water and Miami-Dade County provides sanitary sewer service; stormwater is handled by the City of Sunny Isles Beach.

Edelcup K-8, the library branch and the city bus

Public schools for children living in the city are in Sunny Isles Beach and surrounding communities, and Miami-Dade County Public Schools is the district to contact. Norman S. Edelcup Sunny Isles Beach K-8 School is in the city.

The city runs a community bus service seven days a week for residents and visitors.

The Miami-Dade Public Library System runs the Sunny Isles Beach Branch on the ground floor of the Government Center at 18070 Collins Avenue. Residents can apply for a library card on the library system's website.

Vacation rental licenses and the flood-risk website

Short-term vacation rentals of six months or less in multi-family units require a separate Short-Term Vacation Rental License for each unit, and licenses must be renewed each year.

A public flood-risk website lets people search flood risk and find Elevation Certificates for individual properties.
