Miami-Dade Adds FOG Disclosure to List of Items to be Acknowledged on Instrument of Conveyance

In April 2023, the Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) passed a resolution requiring for the disclosure of fats, oil and grease (FOG) generators for real estate transactions by the seller to a prospective buyer at time of contract. Furthermore, the BOCC requires the purchaser to sign the instrument of conveyance acknowledging the disclosure has been made to them. This is the same practice of the 2021 ordinance for septic tank notices and follows the requirement of other BOCC resolutions including:

“FOG” Generators - 2023;

Septic Tanks – 2021;

Industrial Uses – 2017;

Land Use Area Disclosure – 2017;

Agriculture Disclosure – 2000; and

Wetlands Disclosure – 1982.
