SPTX RATES - INCREASE STREET LIGHTING

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-06-16 · ordinance

This legislative item concerns an ordinance to approve, adopt, and ratify non-ad valorem assessment rolls, rates, and assessments for 219 specific street lighting special taxing districts in Miami-Dade County for the fiscal year October 1, 2026, to September 30, 2027. The proposed ordinance aims to collect these assessments on the 2026 real property tax bills. The total assessment for these 219 districts with proposed rate increases is $1,984,910, affecting 24,890 folios, with 23,565 folios seeing an increase of less than $50.00 annually. The increases are attributed to utility rate hikes, contractual inflationary costs, and depleted developer deposits or carryover funds. The matter was introduced on April 17, 2026, adopted on first reading on May 5, 2026, and subsequently deferred by the Board of County Commissioners on June 2, 2026, and again on June 16, 2026, with a final action date set for June 2, 2026, and an agenda date of July 21, 2026. The Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces Department is the requester. The document does not specify individual street addresses or parcel numbers for the 219 districts, but refers to Exhibit A for legal descriptions and amounts.
