Each digit, or set of digits, has a meaning or origin in the composition of the Folio Number.

The folio number consists of 13 numbers (i.e. 00-0000-000-0000).

  • The first 2 digits represent the municipality code. The number 30 has been reserved to represent the unincorporated areas of Miami-Dade County.

  • The next 4 digits identify the location on a map, based on Township, Range and Section

  • Townships run from North to south in ascending order, from 51 to 60. Each township is six square miles, divided into 36 sections.

  • Ranges run from West to East in ascending order from 35 to 42.

  • Sections determine the location within a township and range. A section is one square mile (1 square mile = 640 acres).

  • The next three digits represent the subdivision, acreage or plat.

  • 000 = a subdivision that has not been platted

  • 001 = the first plat within the section of the township and range.

  • The final four digits represent the parcel number, the actual location of a property.
