Direct answer

Factum has accepted seven evidence-bounded Miami Beach physical-building records and selected a second eight-pointer research cohort from reproducible Miami-Dade receipts. The broader metro census remains partial: Broward and Palm Beach are still uncovered, and the official Miami-Dade source counts remain distinct footprint, UBID and folio grains rather than a physical-building denominator.

What the current denominator means

This Public Seed keeps building-footprint records, UBIDs, assessment folios, parent folios, parcels, physical buildings and campuses separate. An ordered 5,665-row OBJECTID/UBID/FOLIO/PARENT_FOLIO manifest is preserved as a 535,358-byte UTF-8 artifact with SHA-256 b407c2f571b7929d5b8dbeb82517ee9423221ba92ca57f1703b04ac313fcf7d1. The rows include 854 folios with multiple footprints and 16 duplicate-UBID excess rows. 40 bounded 25-folio batches have now closed the first 1000 ordered lookup positions. Positions 976–1000 contain 39 footprint rows across 25 folios and 24 current assessment rows: 24 returned exactly one assessment row, 0 preserve one-to-many assessment groups, and 1 returned no assessment feature. 5 folios retain multiple footprint rows. Factum preserves every empty and one-to-many source relationship and does not collapse footprint, parcel or building identity. Factum has now selected two eight-pointer research cohorts from accepted, current-validator-reproducible receipts at ordered positions 751–1000. Each pointer has one footprint row, one assessment row, exact folio and site-address equality, a non-condominium parcel with no parent folio, and a non-reference UBID record. Seven address-level physical-building records are now Graph Mapped as Public Seeds; none is Verified or Dispatch Ready. Position 754 remains held, while position 759 was accepted narrowly with its dimensional conflict explicit. Cohort 2 positions 761–767 and 775 are research pointers only and have not been accepted as physical buildings.

5,665

Miami-Dade 50,000-plus footprint rows

Official BuildingList2024_50kplus feature rows satisfying LIVING_AREA greater than or equal to 50,000. A footprint row is not automatically one physical building or one assessment property.

5,649

Distinct nonblank UBIDs

Distinct UBID values across the bounded footprint layer. Sixteen excess rows share a UBID with another row and remain duplicate candidates rather than accepted merges.

4,067

Distinct folios linked to footprint rows

Miami-Dade Property Appraiser folio identifiers present on the 5,665 footprint rows. A folio identifies assessment property or parcel grain, not necessarily a building.

3,213

One-footprint folios

Folios appearing on exactly one row in this footprint layer. This cardinality does not prove a one-parcel or one-building identity.

854

Multi-footprint folios

Folios linked to more than one footprint row, with a maximum of 23 rows for one folio. Every one-to-many state is preserved for identity review.

15,202

County UBID source rows

Rows in the broader official county UBID Building Footprints layer. It is source context, not the 50,000-square-foot cohort and not a metro-wide building denominator.

1,000

Deterministic assessment-reconciliation receipts

The first 1000 lexicographically ordered distinct folio positions have closed query receipts across 40 bounded batches. Cumulatively, 951 positions have exact single-row assessment outcomes, 38 retain duplicate/one-to-many assessment groups, and 11 return no assessment feature. Positions 976–1000 contain 39 footprint rows and 24 assessment rows across 25 folios, with 24 exact-one assessment returns, 0 one-to-many assessment groups and 1 no-results. 5 folios retain multiple footprint rows. These receipts validate only the bounded lookup path and do not merge footprint, parcel or building identities or define DOR eligibility.

16

Research candidate pointers

Sixteen source pointers have been selected across two deterministic cohorts. Seven address-level records are Graph Mapped Public Seeds; position 754 remains held for ambiguous physical extent, and cohort 2 positions 761–767 and 775 await attributable public research. Source identifiers and identity boundaries remain separate.

Questions this page answers

Compact answers are rendered in visible HTML and structured data so people and answer engines can retrieve the same claims and caveats.

01How many large Miami buildings did Factum find?+

Factum has accepted seven address-level physical-building Public Seeds. This is not a complete Miami-Dade or metro building count.

02Why was the prior 3,497-folio denominator withdrawn?+

The public source contract and exact predicate needed to reproduce that cohort were not retained. The current official 50,000-plus layer instead reproduces 5,665 footprint rows and 4,067 folios, so Factum will not reverse-engineer or relabel an unsupported subset.

03Does one UBID equal one verified building?+

Not yet. Miami-Dade describes UBID as a building identifier derived from footprint geometry, but the live bounded layer has 16 excess rows in duplicate-UBID groups. Those conflicts require review before a uniqueness or building-identity claim.

04Does one folio equal one building?+

No. The Property Appraiser defines a folio as a 13-digit property or parcel identifier. In this slice, 854 folios link to multiple footprint rows, so folio, footprint and building identities remain separate.

05Do Florida DOR codes define the eligible building universe?+

No. They are assessment land-use classifications and may include local four-digit refinements. Any project allow or deny mapping remains provisional until its exact codebook and selection contract are accepted.

06Does this cover the full Miami metro?+

No. Miami-Dade is one of three counties in the MSA. Broward and Palm Beach require separate official enumeration and reconciliation.

07Can these records be used for dispatch?+

No. Miami has seven Graph Mapped Public Seeds, zero Verified records and zero Dispatch Ready records; no operating rules are accepted.

08Is there now a reproducible Miami-Dade source manifest?+

Yes. The ordered OBJECTID, UBID, FOLIO and PARENT_FOLIO projection contains 5,665 rows and is preserved as a 535,358-byte UTF-8 artifact with SHA-256 b407c2f571b7929d5b8dbeb82517ee9423221ba92ca57f1703b04ac313fcf7d1. All PARENT_FOLIO values were blank in this bounded layer; that is an observed source state, not a parent-child inference.

09How much of the Miami-Dade assessment lookup has been checked?+

The first 1000 lexicographically ordered distinct folio positions have been checked in 40 bounded batches. Cumulatively, 951 returned exactly one assessment row, 38 retain duplicate/one-to-many source groups, and 11 current folios returned no assessment feature. Positions 976–1000 preserve 39 footprint rows and 24 assessment rows across 25 folios; 24 returned exactly one assessment row, 0 preserve one-to-many groups and 1 returned no feature. 5 folios retain multiple footprint rows. This is a source-path check, not a claim that a folio equals a building, that a source DOR class is project-eligible or that the metro census is complete.

10Has Factum selected Miami research cohorts?+

Yes. Two deterministic eight-pointer cohorts are selected. Seven address-level records are Graph Mapped Public Seeds, position 754 remains held, and cohort 2 positions 761–767 and 775 await bounded public research.

Explicit unknowns

These are active research requirements—not footnotes to be smoothed over.

  1. 01The exact selection predicate, immutable folio list and checksum behind the prior 3,497-folio claim.
  2. 02Resolution of the 16 duplicate-UBID excess rows and every multi-footprint folio.
  3. 03Assessment-side match, unmatched and DOR-code distributions for the 4,067 folios.
  4. 04The documented operational meaning of PARENT_FOLIO in the selected public layers; no parent value was populated in the bounded footprint layer.
  5. 05Assessment-side outcomes and DOR distributions beyond the first 1000 lexicographically ordered folios, plus independent resolution of the 11 current no-result folios and 38 one-to-many groups.
  6. 06Official source enumeration and cross-source reconciliation for Broward and Palm Beach counties.
  7. 07Physical-building and campus identity, ownership, management, operating rules and dispatch-critical evidence for all candidates.
  8. 08Authoritative physical-building-extent resolution for position 754; position 759 remains Public Seed only with its material area/floor conflict explicit.
  9. 09Ownership, control, management, complete occupancy, operating rules and dispatch-critical evidence for the seven Graph Mapped Public Seeds.
