I want to open a carwash at a Miami dade county location but I don't know what licenses or permits I need from Miami dade county to open a carwash.
 
What is stopping you from going to City Hall and asking them? Seems like the first logical step to me…
Are you from Miami? If you lived in Miami you would know that the city doesn't answer any questions, You go somewhere government related and you get treated like you a criminal, All they tell you is check our website all the information is there , and it is there but if you don't know what you're looking for exactly, you can't find anything on their website.
 
You should probably just give up then.
Asshole am on here trying to find out what I got to do, asking on here is part of me trying to get My questions answered, if you don't have anything productive to say then go mind your own business
 
Every municipality is going to be different, with their own hoops to jump through. Sorry, but your going to have to go to city hall, maybe even get an attorney to guide you through the process.
 
In my state/town you start with the planning board. You ask to be put on the agenda of the earliest meeting. You show up with a thorough plan, proposed location, etc. They ask about traffic flow, egress, signage, chemicals, utilities requirements, neighborhood impact, hours of operation, noise levels, etc. It's never easy, so it would be good if you develop a thicker skin.
 
I would suggest you hire an attorney who specializes in land (if it is a new construction) development sometimes if the project is too small. If it's an exist site and you just want to do a change of use then again an attorney will help you better oftentimes county or city employees know the attorneys you have a better chance. I just purchased a self-service CAR WASH WITH four bays in Winter Haven, FL. Good LUCK
 
Not sure if this is still actual but so far as I know you will need:

1. Business Registration & Local License

2. Wastewater/Discharge Permits

3. If you plan to install exterior signage, you'll likely need a permit to ensure it complies with local codes and ordinances.
