The Amethyst (Miami Beach): what the official records say

This page covers only the building at 5313 Collins Ave, in Miami Beach (folio 02-3214-022-0001). There is another condominium with a similar name in Aventura: it is not this one, and nothing on record for that one applies to this one.

The identity data comes from a reading on October 23, 2026 of the Miami-Dade Property Appraiser (the county office that keeps the record of every property) and of the DBPR condominium registry.

These figures come only from public records, not from listings or the MLS. The listing was made in the Clerk's Official Records by the full address "5313 Collins Ave": 21 unique files, of which 19 are deeds and 2 are Notices of Commencement (not sales). Each candidate was checked at the Property Appraiser, and price and qualification come only from there: only a sale rated "Qual by exam of deed" counts. Excluded: transfers with no real price ($0/$100 sales, corrective deeds, QCDs, life estate interest transfers) and the deed the Property Appraiser has not processed yet, which is declared and never counted.

The only qualified sale in the window is the one in the table: unit 207, for $325,000, with a Property Appraiser date of December 2, 2024. The window's other deeds were left out for the reason the Property Appraiser noted: 17 excluded (12 corrective, tax or QCD deeds with minimum consideration, at $0 or $100, and 5 life estate interest transfers, at $0 or $100) and 1 unprocessed (unit 908: a deed recorded on September 28, 2026 that on October 22 and 23, 2026 did not appear in the Property Appraiser's sales history; never counted). Package reconciliation: 19 deeds = 1 qualified + 17 excluded + 1 unprocessed. The Clerk's coverage reached October 19, 2026. No counted unit sold twice in the window and no parking or storage accessory deeds were found.

One row per topic. "Pending official confirmation" means no public record showing it was read. It does not mean the fact exists or that it does not exist.

What the public records do not show is held by the building's association. Ask for it in writing and keep the answers:

• The recertification status: the city's notice, the report filed and the letter with which the city closed it, if they exist. The guide on 40-year building recertification explains each step.
• The state structural inspection report (milestone) and the SIRS with its reserve plan. If the association does not have them, ask it to say so in writing.
• Approved or pending special assessments: the minutes of the last two years and the unit's account statement letter (the "estoppel": what the unit owes the association and the charges in force). The guide on the extra condo charge explains it.
• Major work: what it includes, on what dates, under what permits, who pays for it and how (a charge to owners, a loan or reserves).
• Whether there is any "Unsafe Structures" case (the process a jurisdiction opens when a structure does not meet the building code). The guide on Unsafe Structures in Miami-Dade explains it.
• If you plan to use an FHA loan: ask your lender about the HUD list and about single-unit approval. The guide on a condo with an FHA loan explains how to read the list.

What is NOT public (but you should verify):

• The unit's exact HOA dues: they vary by unit (they are split by square footage and ownership interest); no listing or public record sets them for your unit.
• The current special assessment amount: the amount and payment method exist only in the association's documents; a figure seen in the press or in listings is not the document.
• The current rental, Airbnb and pet rules: they live in the association's documents, not in the public record; ask for them in writing.
• The association's budget and reserve level: the association's internal documents, for owners only.
• The building's status on lenders' confidential lists: none of those lists is public; your lender confirms it.
