2026 CHARTER AMENDMENT (BOUNDARY COMMISSION)

Policy Council · 2026-07-13 · resolution

Miami-Dade County is holding a countywide special election on November 3, 2026, to vote on amending the Home Rule Charter. The proposed amendment would 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 matter was introduced on 6/26/2026 and is currently In Committee, with a final action date not yet determined. Public comment is not stated in this document.
