Confirm if your date really owns that waterfront property in Miami-Dade County

Does your date really own that big crib in Miami-Dade County?

Inspect for yourself with the Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser's searchable database. This free site is one of the best of its kind in Florida.

The site is searchable by your date's name or by property address. Results will show the last known owner of record (which can include spouses or significant others) along with the property address. A link is provided for the deed on the property, which may show additional property owners and whether the owner was married at the time of the property's purchase. Details typically include:

• Owner name
• Property address
• Mailing address of owner (can differ from property address)
• Number of beds and bathrooms
• Floors
• Square footage of home and lot size
• Year home built
• Latest assessed value of property
• Estimated market value of property
• Legal description of property
• Previous sales of property dates and prices
• Zonings
• Extra features (pool, dock, patio, etc.)
• Homestead exemption

A homestead designation on the property indicates the owner(s) claims this property as a primary residence. There is also a GIS Map feature that allows you to see an overview of the property, which can help you see surroundings and the nature of a neighborhood.
