Miami Dade County, FL Property Records & Statistics

Miami-Dade County has some of the highest housing costs in Florida. The median rent is $1,659, compared with $1,114 across the state and $840.25 nationally. The county is also overwhelmingly a renter market: 44.85% of occupied homes are renter-occupied, roughly double the Florida figure of 21.62% and the national figure of 21.81%.

The median home value is $375,100, well above the Florida median of $213,800 and more than double the national median of $173,750. The median property tax rate is 0.82%, higher than the state rate of 0.75% and the national rate of 0.74%. High values paired with an above-average rate mean property tax is a significant cost for owners, and landlords often pass part of it along in rent.

Income helps only partly with those costs. Median household income is $68,799, above the Florida median of $63,213 and the national median of $65,108, but the gap in rent and home values is far larger than the gap in income. That imbalance is a major reason so many households rent rather than buy.

The unemployment rate in Miami-Dade County is 2.56%, a little below the state rate of 2.61% and the national rate of 2.87%. Overall, the figures describe a high-cost, renter-heavy market with solid employment and incomes that only partly keep pace with housing prices.

Assignment and Release Records

Assignment and release records track what happens to a mortgage after it is recorded. An assignment shows that a mortgage was transferred from one lender or loan holder to another, while a release shows that the loan was satisfied and the lien removed from the property.

Miami-Dade County has 2,478,877 assignment and release records, including 683,872 assignment documents recorded from January 21, 1971, through August 26, 2025, and 1,783,597 release documents recorded from December 18, 1875, through August 26, 2025. There are also 11,408 other documents in the set.

For property research, these records help show who holds a mortgage on a property and whether earlier loans were paid off. Buyers, owners, and title researchers can follow a loan as it moved between lenders and confirm that old mortgages were released before a sale or refinance. In a county with such a large volume of transactions, the long date range also gives unusual depth for reviewing a property's financing history.
