What the county figure means here.
A borrower with full VA entitlement does not have a VA loan limit, subject to lender approval, ability to repay, and the appraised value or purchase price. The FHFA one-unit county conforming loan limit matters primarily when calculating remaining bonus entitlement for a borrower who does not have full entitlement, and it may affect whether a down payment is required.
Miami-Dade County carries a $832,750 one-unit conforming loan limit value for 2026, and that is the county figure we reference for Miami. County reference, not an address-based lookup. Confirm the county of the property before using this value; city and metro boundaries can cross counties. Whichever county your property is in, the value is used in remaining-entitlement calculations — including on a 2–4 unit property — and is not a cap on what a fully-entitled buyer can finance.

Estimate a payment with your own rate assumptionPulling a City of Miami permit history in iBuild
The City of Miami offers an online way to see the full history of an issued permit. You need the process number, the address or the full folio number, then in iBuild you choose "manage application, global inquiry" and pick the type of data you are searching by. The City notes that this search shows issued permits; it does not track pending applications, which have a separate status tool.
Practical step: search the folio number during your inspection period and compare the results with what the listing claims — a new roof, impact windows, an enclosed patio. If the work appears nowhere in the permit history, ask the seller about it before closing, since the folio number ties the record to the exact parcel you are buying.
Buying a Miami condo: check where the building stands in Miami-Dade's recertification schedule
Miami-Dade County has run a building recertification program since 1975, amended in 2022 alongside a state law creating milestone inspections for condominium and cooperative buildings three stories or taller. The County describes schedules that depend on when a building was built and whether a condo or co-op building sits within three miles of the coastline, with inspections then repeating every 10 years.
Practical step: for a condo or co-op purchase, ask the association for the building's most recent recertification or milestone inspection and whether any required repairs remain open. The result can affect assessments that owners pay, and your lender may ask about it during condo review.
