Subject: Resolution authorizing the County Mayor or County Mayor�s Designee to execute Memorandum of Agreement (Agreement) between Miami Dade County through the Housing and Community Development Department (HCD) and the Miami Dade County Property Appraiser�s Office (PAMDC) for the limited purpose of sharing Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) participant address and landlord information

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Executive Summary
On January 21, 2026, the Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners (Board) adopted Resolution No. R-38-26, which authorized the County Mayor or County Mayor�s designee to execute a Memorandum of Agreement between Miami-Dade County, by and through its Housing and Community Development Department (HCD), and the Property Appraiser of Miami-Dade County (PAMDC) related to the sharing of certain information of tenants and landlords participating in the County�s Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program (HCV program).

Subsequent to the adoption of Resolution No. R-38-26, HCD and PAMDC had further discussions related to the agreement, which was approved by the Board. As a result of these discussions, HCD and PAMDC have agreed to make additional changes to the memorandum of agreement (Revised Agreement). The agreement has been updated to clarify and expand the categories of documents and information that HCD is required to provide to PAMDC. These revisions specify the required documentation, applicable timelines, and the format in which materials must be transmitted to ensure compliance and facilitate PAMDC�s review and oversight responsibilities. The hold harmless and indemnification section has been revised to more clearly define the parties� respective responsibilities and liabilities. The updated provision delineates the scope of indemnification, clarifies the circumstances under which indemnity applies, and addresses limitations consistent with federal, state, and local requirements governing HCD�s operations. The revised agreement now incorporates, as exhibits, the legal opinion issued by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development�s (HUD) Office of General Counsel and the relevant HUD directives. These documents provide authoritative guidance regarding program requirements and are included to ensure consistency with federal regulations and to document the regulatory framework applicable to the parties� obligations under the Agreement.

Recommendation
It is recommended that the Board amend Resolution No. R-38-26, to approve the terms of and authorize the County Mayor or County Mayor�s designee to execute the Revised Agreement, and to exercise all provisions contained therein, including, but not limited to termination and amendment provisions that are consistent with the attached resolution and Resolution No. R-38-26.

Scope
This item seeks to authorize the County, through HCD to share certain information with PAMDC. This agenda item has a countywide impact.

Fiscal Impact/Funding Source
This item will have no fiscal impact to the County.

Track Record/Monitor
Victor Atkins, HCD Assistant Director, Housing Programs will be responsible for monitoring compliance with the Revised Agreement.

Delegation of Authority
Upon the approval of the resolution, the County Mayor or County Mayor�s designee will be authorized to execute the Revised Agreement and exercise all provisions contained therein, including, but not limited to termination and amendment provisions.

Background
Property assessment relies in part on verifying the nature and occupancy status of residential rental properties within Miami-Dade County. HCD and PAMDC seek to collaborate through an �Agreement� that will allow HCD to share limited HCV program data�specifically participant addresses and landlord names�for property assessment and compliance purposes. The �Agreement� includes detailed provisions to safeguard all Personally Identifiable Information (PII) in accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. � 552a), applicable Florida privacy laws, and County data-security protocols, including encryption, access control, and breach notification requirements. The exchange of such information between County departments is in the best interest of the County, supports accurate property valuation, and enhances interdepartmental coordination without compromising participant privacy. On January 21, 2026, the Board adopted Resolution No. R-38-26, which authorized the execution of a memorandum of agreement to facilitate the exchange of information between HCD and PAMDC. Subsequent to the adoption of Resolution No. R-38-26, HCD and PAMDC discussed further revisions to the agreement that would require the Board�s approval. The agreement has been updated to clarify and expand the categories of documents and information that HCD is required to provide to PAMDC. These revisions specify the required documentation, applicable timelines, and the format in which materials must be transmitted to ensure compliance and facilitate PAMDC�s review and oversight responsibilities. The hold harmless and indemnification section has been revised to more clearly define the parties� respective responsibilities and liabilities. The updated provision delineates the scope of indemnification, clarifies the circumstances under which indemnity applies, and addresses limitations consistent with federal, state, and local requirements governing HCD�s operations. The Revised Agreement now incorporates, as exhibits, the legal opinion issued by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development�s Office of General Counsel and the relevant HUD directives. These documents provide authoritative guidance regarding program requirements and are included to ensure consistency with federal regulations and to document the regulatory framework applicable to the parties� obligations under the Agreement.
