INCREASING SECURITY GUARD

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-06-02 · ordinance

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners adopted an ordinance approving and ratifying non-ad valorem assessment rolls, rates, and assessments for 20 certain security guard special taxing districts for the fiscal year commencing October 1, 2026, and ending September 30, 2027. The ordinance aims to secure funding for security guard services, including contractual increases from private security companies and off-duty police, to maintain service levels. The total assessment for these 20 districts is $10,490,955, affecting 5,774 folios out of 268,326 active district folios county-wide. The assessments are levied based on special benefits to properties within each district and will be collected similarly to ad valorem taxes, with failure to pay resulting in a special assessment lien and potential loss of title. Exhibit A, referenced in the ordinance, contains the legal descriptions, units of measurement, and assessment amounts for each district, but is not fully detailed in this document.
