SPTX RATES - INCREASE STREET LIGHTING

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

This legislative item concerns an ordinance to approve, adopt, and ratify non-ad valorem assessment rolls, rates, and assessments for 219 street lighting special taxing districts in Miami-Dade County for the fiscal year October 1, 2026, to September 30, 2027. The proposed ordinance relates to rate increases for these districts, totaling $1,984,910, affecting 24,890 folios, with 23,565 folios seeing increases of less than $50.00 annually. The increases are attributed to utility rate hikes, inflationary costs, depleted developer deposits, and true operational costs. The item was introduced on April 17, 2026, adopted on first reading on May 5, 2026, and was deferred by the Board of County Commissioners on June 2, 2026, and again on June 16, 2026, to the July 21, 2026, agenda. The purpose is to secure funding for continued street lighting services. Public comment details are not stated in this document, but the process involved public hearings and notification to affected property owners.
