2026 CHARTER AMENDMENT (BOUNDARY COMMISSION)

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-07-21 · resolution

Miami-Dade County is holding a countywide special election on November 3, 2026, to vote on a proposed amendment to the Home Rule Charter. The amendment aims to establish a Boundary Commission to evaluate proposed annexations and incorporations on a three-year cycle. This commission would provide recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners and would replace the Planning Advisory Board's role in this process. The ballot question will ask if the Charter should be amended to establish this commission and set new procedures for boundary changes and the creation of new municipalities, including specific thresholds for elector and non-residential property owner consent. The resolution was introduced on 6/26/2026, forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) with a favorable recommendation on 7/13/2026, and advanced to the BCC meeting on 7/21/2026.
