What is MiMo and why does historic review apply to my Upper Biscayne home?
Answered by AskBaily Editorial · Updated
Short answer
MiMo (Miami Modern) is the post-war architectural movement that defines the Biscayne Boulevard corridor between NE 50th and NE 77th Streets. The MiMo Biscayne Boulevard district is city-designated historic; the Historic & Environmental Preservation Board (HEPB) reviews every visible exterior change. Certificate of Appropriateness is required before permit issuance. HEPB runs on a first-and-third-Tuesday calendar; budget 6-14 weeks.
