Coastal Barrier Resource System D Miami-Dade County
About This Dataset
This dataset maps the official boundaries of protected coastal barrier areas in Miami-Dade County that are designated as undeveloped under federal law. If you own property or are considering buying land near the coast, this map shows which areas have federal restrictions on development and insurance availability—critical information that directly affects property values and building options.
Why This Matters
- A real estate developer checking whether a beachfront parcel is buildable by seeing if it falls within CBRS boundaries
- A homeowner shopping for property who discovers their potential purchase is in a protected barrier area and learns about limitations on federal flood insurance and development permits
- A city planner assessing how much coastal land in their jurisdiction is available for future development versus protected from building
