The Miami-Dade Aviation Department's business permit page says applicants who want to provide aircraft detailing at a Dade County airport "must first obtain" a Solid Waste Annual Operating Permit (IW5) and a Certificate of Use from the county's Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources. Permits run month-to-month for up to a year, cover only the customers named in them, and allow subcontracting only with written MDAD approval. The page does not single out OPF.
