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 asks if the Charter should be amended to establish this commission, set new procedures for petitions, public hearings, and approvals, and include 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 is scheduled for the BCC agenda on 7/21/2026.
