Has anyone applied for a Certificate of Use for short-term rental in Brickell? Looking for tips + architect recommendation

Hey everyone,

I own a small one-bedroom unit (~830 sq ft) in Brickell and I’m looking to apply for a Certificate of Use (CU) to operate it as a short-term rental.

I already have the DBPR license and Business Tax Receipt (BTR), but I ran into issues getting the CU because the city asked for signed architectural plans with a licensed architect’s seal.

A few questions:

• Has anyone here gone through this CU process for STR in Miami recently?
• Was it straightforward, or were there any major obstacles I should prepare for?
• Do you know any reliable and affordable architect who can create and sign the floor plan? Preferably someone familiar with Brickell condos or The Club specifically.
• Is it possible to coordinate the inspection date around guest check-ins/outs?

Appreciate any insights, experiences, or contact recommendations you can share!

Thanks in advance 🙏
