HOLE IN THE DOUGHNUT CONVEYANCE

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-06-02 · resolution

Miami-Dade County Commissioners approved the conveyance of approximately 32 acres of vacant, county-owned land adjacent to the Homestead Air Reserve Base to the United States of America, acting through the Department of the Air Force. The land, identified by portions of Folio Nos. 30-7901-000-0090, 30-7901-000-0210, and 30-7901-000-0220, will be used for military purposes to support national defense interests. The conveyance is at no cost. An amendment to the resolution specified that approximately 2 acres, designated Parcel 2, would remain needed by the Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Department (MDFR) until no later than June 2027, after which it would be conveyed to the Air Force. The remaining balance of the 32 acres, designated Parcel 1, was conveyed immediately. The resolution required a two-thirds vote and waived appraisal requirements. A request to convey five acres to the Sheriff's Office was not incorporated as no formal request was submitted and the property was not part of the subject conveyance. The land was originally transferred to the County from the U.S. Government at no cost and is being returned in the same manner. Water main extensions will be required for water connectivity, and the Air Force must obtain easements. An environmental baseline study by HARB is pending. The final resolution number will be R-472-26.
