What governs this parcel
Made ground — dredged from the bottom of Biscayne Bay and completed in 1922. Reached from the MacArthur Causeway, City of Miami Beach.
- Seawall — City of Miami Beach. The owner is responsible. New seawalls must meet a minimum of 5.7 feet NAVD, or 4.0 feet NAVD if designed to support future elevation to 5.7, and a repair at or above $300 per linear foot is substantial enough to trigger that standard. After a citation the clock is 60 days to show progress and 730 to finish. The full sequence.
- Flood elevation. Elevation certificates have been required since 1995 for new construction and substantial improvement, and the county publishes a searchable database for homes built after that. A house older than that with no substantial improvement usually has none. The 50% rule turns a large renovation into an elevation project by threshold rather than negotiation.
- Getting a boat to open water. We have not published a verified clearance for the bridges on this route and will not borrow one from a neighboring causeway — a wrong air-draft figure sends somebody to a house their boat cannot reach.The verified Venetian figures are here, and the equivalent for this route is being assembled from the same federal source.
- Any association or transfer requirement. Several communities in this market run a mandatory owners association with an approval step and a fee at purchase — the single-family equivalent of condominium board approval. We have not verified one for this island and are not going to assume it either way.What those requirements look like where they are documented, and what to ask before you offer.
Where this sits
- All nine island groups side by side — the same county record, the same exclusions
- What to check before offering — the seven authorities and the order they bite
