Environmentally Endangered Land Covenant C Miami-Dade County
About This Dataset
This dataset maps all locations in Miami-Dade County where landowners have agreed to preserve natural forestland in exchange for a 90% property tax reduction through the Environmentally Endangered Lands (EEL) Covenant Program. Since 1979, this program has created temporary protected areas for pine and hammock forests that might otherwise be developed, helping preserve some of Miami-Dade's vanishing natural habitats while giving property owners financial incentives to keep their land undeveloped.
Why This Matters
- A resident researching which natural forest areas near their neighborhood are protected from development, or understanding local conservation efforts
- A property owner considering enrolling their forested land in the EEL program to reduce taxes while protecting the environment
- An environmental group or city planner analyzing where remaining natural forests are concentrated and which areas need additional protection from development
