Doing well
- A notification system that alerts residents when their records are accessed
Room to grow
Our 2026 audit could not reach Miami-Dade County's records portal at the time of the scan, so this letter may be incomplete. If protections are already in place, please consider this a friendly request to confirm.
What to ask for
Three low-cost protections that residents in other counties have found valuable:
1. Adding robots.txt rules that disallow automated scrapers
2. Including a Terms of Use that prohibits automated access
3. Implementing a notification system that alerts residents when their records are accessed (per the AZ, FL, HI, IL, UT model)
