CHARTER AMENDMENT, ARTICLE 7 ADVERTISING

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

Miami-Dade County is holding a countywide special election on November 3, 2026, to allow voters to decide on amending the Home Rule Charter, Article 7, to expand allowable advertising within parks. Currently, advertising is restricted to sponsorships of events or facilities, and the proposed amendment aims to remove this limitation to generate revenue for the Parks, Recreation, and Open Spaces Department without raising taxes. The amendment requires a two-thirds vote of commissioners present to be placed on the ballot, and a majority of voters to pass. The Parks, Recreation, and Open Spaces Department faces funding challenges and hopes this expansion will alleviate budgetary constraints. All revenue generated from expanded advertising would be exclusively for the park system. The resolution was introduced on July 14, 2026, and forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) with a favorable recommendation on July 13, 2026, for an agenda date of July 21, 2026.
