Choosing single-family homes in Miami
For an urban home, consider separation from neighboring buildings, parking and permitted additions. A room with its own entrance is not a legal second dwelling without supporting records.
- House: roof, windows, air conditioning, electrical and plumbing systems based on an inspection.
- Lot: boundaries, drainage, trees, parking and usable outdoor space.
- Records: permits for additions, a pool and alterations; restrictions on future changes.
Add property tax, insurance and roof, yard and pool maintenance, if applicable, to the purchase budget. In a community with an association, check its dues and restrictions separately. A home without an association may have no community dues. Also compare the property tax calculation in Miami-Dade with the tax shown in the listing.
If you plan to rent the property out, check association rules where applicable and the requirements for the actual address. Location or a community name does not establish rental eligibility.
