2026 CHARTER AMENDMENT (BOUNDARY COMMISSION)

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

Miami-Dade County Commissioners considered a resolution (File Number 261184) to call a countywide special election on November 3, 2026, to vote on amending the Home Rule Charter. The proposed amendment would establish a Boundary Commission to review annexations and incorporations. The resolution failed. The Policy Council forwarded the resolution with a favorable recommendation as corrected, noting a scrivener's error in a previous resolution reference. The County Attorney's office assigned the item on June 26, 2026. The proposed ballot question asks if the Charter should be amended to establish a Boundary Commission for municipal boundary changes and incorporations, replacing the Planning Advisory Board's role, and setting new procedures for petitions, public hearings, and approvals, including thresholds for elector and non-residential property owner consent, and a three-year review process.
