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 street lighting special taxing districts in Miami-Dade County for the fiscal year October 1, 2026, to September 30, 2027. The proposed ordinance relates to rate increases for these districts, totaling $1,984,910, affecting 24,890 folios, with 23,565 folios seeing increases of less than $50.00 annually. The increases are attributed to utility rate hikes, inflationary costs, and depleted developer deposits or carryover. The item was adopted on first reading on May 5, 2026, and was subsequently deferred by the Board of County Commissioners on June 2, 2026, and again on June 16, 2026, to the July 21, 2026, Board meeting. The purpose is to secure necessary funding to continue providing street lighting services.
