ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION AND UTILITY SERVICE FEE

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

Miami-Dade County is establishing a loan program for environmental remediation projects on County-owned properties or former County-owned properties (prior to January 1, 2025). The program, funded by the Utility Service Fee Fund, aims to protect the County's drinking water supply and benefit the Water and Sewer Department. Eligible properties must be 10 acres or larger. Loans will be zero-interest and repaid over a maximum of 35 years. The program requires Board of County Commissioners approval for all loans. This ordinance amends Section 24-34 of the Code of Miami-Dade County, Florida, and does not expand eligible uses of the utility service fee, but rather provides a new mechanism for existing eligible uses.
