Who’s covered

Currently voluntary for any building in the county. A proposed ordinance would require commercial and government buildings of 20,000 sq ft or more to report.

Annual deadline

No set deadline yet for the previous calendar year. If the proposed ordinance passes, an annual deadline will apply.

Verification

No routine third-party verification — but the program runs its own data checks, so accuracy still matters.

Penalties

None while the program is voluntary.

What to report

All energy and water used by the whole building — including tenant spaces — for January 1 to December 31:

Electricity — every meter serving the building
Natural gas
District steam, hot or chilled water, if you have it
Delivered fuels (oil, diesel, propane) — all delivery receipts for the year
On-site solar production, if any
Water — whole-building water use

Leave out backup generator fuel. Note any meters added or removed during the year.

Good to know

Buildings inside the City of Miami already have a mandatory requirement — see our Miami page.
Benchmarking now puts you ahead if the county ordinance is adopted.

What we’ll need from you

Building address, plus any utility service addresses that differ from it
Gross floor area for the whole building and each use (office, retail, residential…), number of units and year built
Your Building ID (we can look it up)
Utility data for the full calendar year, January 1 – December 31 (usually 13 months of bills)
If tenants pay their own utilities: whole-building (aggregated) data from the utility, or signed tenant authorization forms
Access to your ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager account, if you have one
Any notice or letter you received about this law
