Do I need a permit for this?

Often, and Miami-Dade is inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so the wind rating matters too. Permits are issued locally, so we confirm what your authority wants before we start.

The High-Velocity Hurricane Zone — the Florida Building Code's strictest wind-load region. It covers all of Miami-Dade, which is why the hardware spec here is not the spec further north.

Can I let a delivery in from work?

Telephone entry rings your phone wherever you are, and you open the gate from the call.

Access control is a question about people, not hardware. Who arrives, how often, and whether you want to know about it each time. Answer that and the equipment list writes itself.

Deliveries are constant on a city lot. Telephone entry rings your phone wherever you happen to be, and the gate opens from the call rather than from the doorstep.

The urban grid was laid out long before anybody was automating an entrance, so the space a gate needs has to be found rather than assumed.

Two approvals, not one

Anything structural at the property line in Miami-Dade answers to the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone standard, and that is what sets the frame and the fixings. Separately, Sweetwater runs a local review, and where a homeowners' association governs the street it generally runs one of its own. Neither is a thing to discover after fabrication.
