Property Covenants
A covenant is generally a binding agreement made between a property owner and Miami-Dade County that restricts the use of that property. This may be the only way in which a certain type of activity may be permitted with that property.
The land use restrictions requiring covenants can be broken down into three categories: 1) Restricted land use within a Wellfield Protection Area; 2) Restricted Land use due to the use of a septic tank; 3) Restricted Land Use to protect a natural resource.
