CHARTER AMENDMENT, ARTICLE 7 ADVERTISING

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

Miami-Dade County is proposing a Charter Amendment to expand allowable advertising within parks. This legislative item, File Number 261314, calls for a countywide special election on November 3, 2026, to be held in conjunction with the General Election. The purpose is to allow voters to decide whether to amend the Home Rule Charter, specifically Article 7, to permit more revenue-generating advertising in parks, beyond the current restrictions that limit advertising to sponsorship of events or facilities. The Parks, Recreation, and Open Spaces Department faces funding challenges, and expanded advertising is seen as a way to generate revenue for park operations without raising taxes. The proposed amendment requires a two-thirds vote of commissioners present for placement on the ballot and a majority of electors voting for passage. The final action is pending BCC assignment.
